Hedge Fund TV Show

Quote from Don Bright:


This is like Trader Monthly in Video...everyone is young, rich, and drive fancy cars to their homes in the Hamptons, LOL.

Agree. Why is there this assumption that traders are one-dimensional consumerist automatons obsessed with juvenile material toys and brainless coat-hanger bimbos to the exclusion of all else in life?
 
I guess the moral is that don't believe everything you see on TV.

Do you really expect any realism from a mainstream TV producer. Entourage is not exactly smart TV, in fact the whole show was carried by Jeremy Piven (Ari).

Speak for yourself, I personally enjoy "brainless coat hanger bimbos"!! :p

Correct, I thought they already put up episode #6.

If you watch the previews, that is about 1/3 of the show. I just realized something what the Pakistani lady said:

1. I have incredibly high returns.
2. There is lots of luck involved.

So my conclusion is:

3. She must be one helluva lucky trader.

I would prefer to be skilled than lucky. Luck runs out eventually...

Quote from mike4242:

I love how everyone keeps ripping on Tim. I'm going to set the facts straight:

Watch the beginning the show, Tim is labeled "The Start-Up". Whenever the show has his name on the bottom, they label him "Startup Hedge Fund". He never claims to be big time.

You want to root for him to fail because you are jealous he's so cocky, but small time and yet is basically the star of this show, fine. Just get your accusations right.

Anybody can start a hedge fund; all it takes is about $20k these days. Its just a simple legal structure.

The majority of hedge funds are not "hedged"; they haven't been for decades. Some hedge funds make movies, others trade, some turnaround companies.

Sykes relies on others to do his chores because he spends 15-20 hours a day looking for stock plays, its no different than having a personal assistant except Tim is too cheap to hire one.

Tim bought his mother a house, he can joke around with her. How many of you have ever bought your Mother something that big from trading profits?

Who the fuck are you? I am not "mike." You need to know what the fuck you are talking about before you go opening your dumbass mouth.

I was done with this thread before I saw this. You're a fucking retard.

Next time I suggest you know what you are talking about before you open your mouth.
