DVD : Wall Street Warriors: Season 1 |
- Great StuffI just purchased Wall Street Warriors, Season 1 and watched the entire series in one sitting. I have to say I enjoyed it immensely. It felt more like a documentary series than most "reality" shows (which I can't bare to watch). The featured players ranged from the young and foolish to the established and revered, all of whom had their own take and approach to the apparent madness and rush of Wall Street. I found it fascinating to follow each character as they go about their daily routines, contending with a wild market that has a mind of its own. The series is both highly entertaining and informative - a balance which most shows lack in this day and age. Definitely looking forward to Season 2!

- Made Wall Street seem boring as hell....I saw this season's programs on MOJO. Man, I can't believe how boring the entire series was. The producers obviously couldn't get any real professional Wall Street traders to be featured on the show, so they took what they could. I still remember how embarassed I was for folks like Tim Sykes sitting in his little apartment wearing a ragged, threadbare housecoat and complaining how his mother didn't have time to do his laundry that week. And another classic was watching a market maker at AMEX stare over the shoulders of a floor trader punching buttons into a machine while ominous music played in the background, as if that was something exciting. This is your job? And the AMEX....jeez, what an irrelevant place to work. Please don't waste your money on this.

- I think the whole season was outtakesThere is a separate section on the dvd for outtakes, but the whole season seemed like one long outtake reel. This was a waste. I can't believe someone actually paid the money to produce this. Their loss...other than the irreplaceable time out of my life I spent watching this. (((shudder))

- Good if you can look past Tim SykesI really enjoyed this series except for the idiot Tim Sykes. The show covers a different assortment of traders and market professionals which gives a nice overview of some financial people. The hard part to watch is a failed trader named Tim Sykes whose fund is down 36% since January 2006 and has had to resort to fighting for media attention since he can't make money trading. Some of his idiocy is funny at times and sometimes it is downright painful. A good show overall though if you like the stock market. There are only 6 epsiodes of this show and the extras are light and basically pointless so be aware of that before you purchase the 2 DVDs. It is a much smaller DVD set than the average buyer would realize. I know I was very surprised.
