Oh yes, WSW is gonna throw another shrimp on the barbie starting this Friday night on their SBS channel
That makes it double digit countries that WSW is in now internationally…you can see the Hong Kong trailer here, I can’t even keep track of em all!
And yet on this side of the world, the 3rd season can’t even get pickedup anywhere. From the LA Times with the title “Obnoxious displays of wealth on TV a turn-off for many”:
It had the makings of reality-television gold.
The third season of “Wall Street Warriors” started filming this spring, as the financial sector’s meltdown accelerated. The show’s camera crews captured the pain and anger of the biggest stock market crash in decades.
But right now, the show doesn’t have an audience.
“Wall Street Warriors” was shot for Mojo HD, a high-definition cable channel that’s shutting down Monday, leaving the reality series without a home. Its producers are shopping the show to other networks, with no takers so far.
Its problem: Americans are too depressed about their own finances to entertain themselves by watching shows about money, according to industry executives and academics.
This is too damn funny, people don’t want to watch finance shows because it makes them remember their own shitty financial situations?
Hmmmmmm
This sounds like a job for PennyStocking! All my subscribers are loving life/banking right now, as the pickmaster–me–is now up 212% since last November, see all their happy testimonials HERE. (Just had to throw that out there, being a used car salesman and such…)
But seriously, I think this is a load of crap…all WSW has to do is pitch their show not as a drama, but as financial education. After all, when times are tough, people wanna learn how to get out of debt now and borrow more on their home. (Hahahaha pathetic / broke Americans, I spit on you!)
After all, look at how CNBC has the highest ratings ever because they have manipulated people, people who are now down 40%+ on the year, into believing their entertainment is actually useful advice. (The suckers all rise up and cry out “Ouch”)
Perception is the name of the game here WSW. If you don’t want to go the education route, at least feature someone who’s banked off all this economic trouble…whether they’re lucky or not, you could give people someone to look up to…and that would get picked up by a network, trust me.

You would think someone would pick it up - so much drama from the stock market crash.
Yeah, and like anyone in Australia under the age of 50 watches SBS !!! And even then no SBS viewers will watch it regardless.
greg does anyone over 50 watch Top gear or Southpark or world cup dont think so - SBS or ABC is the only possible place this could have been shown on free to air. Should be good guys at Macquarie are excited
Honestly WSW was a good show in some respects, but in other respects it was awful. For instance it was interesting watching Tim run a Hedge fund from his living room in a ugly bathrobe but there was a bunch of other people portrayed on the show in the 2nd season that were just pointless. For instance the stupid chick Latisha that wanted to be a trader and didn’t even know what trading was. The friggin biotch quit after a month and then turned down a job as an analyst. Then there were the two morons that worked at the pump and dump shop that were pumping sandisk. SNDK is $7 today. They were pumping it at 65 and had gains and didn’t take them. Who wants to watch a show about these two morons who are most definitely out of a job. They need to make it more informative yet keep it entertaining.
About the two morons. That’s kind of what you get when you real with reality. There are hundreds of guys like them in the same position they are. If they can find some that break out and make it big its pretty cool to see. however the reality is that doesn’t happen to the majority, especially in this market.
I though it was entertaining seeing the few episodes that I did see of the first season but even Tim looked like a flop if you didn’t bother to look at anything else he did after the show.
Tim,
I just shorted SAH at 3.10 make a 1k profits.
Thanks man
awesome Phi, i missed it cuz i’m a little bitch, congrats to u for not being a bitch!
Like my other trade with MIC it spike alittle but I exited too soon. Should have held it for few day I could profit like $900.
Your call on ANL is also awesome! If I have more money I play that one too look where it is now.

Tim you’re not a bitch. I’ve learned to be a much more cautious trader because of you.
looking for to the show airing in Aus on Friday.
Keep up the straight shooting Tim.

WSJ should be on TV… IN THE USA!!!! It is a great show. As a market junkie, I was (and still am) looking forward to the 3rd season. Not only to see the “excitment” of Wall St., but to see what & how everything earlier this year transpired.
