Wall Street Warriors

[KOURKE]

If you've never seen it its basically a reality show about people with "wall street jobs".

They follow people with different jobs in the financial markets like fund managers, daytraders, brokers, and floor traders and a few more

Check out both seasons on HULU...

Looks like an interesting show. I'll have to check that out; I love hulu.com already :-)

Hulu has a number of interesting shows about the economy.

I just watched a great program last night from Netflix.com (it's available streaming via Netflix VOD also) called "Maxed Out". It's about the misuse of credit cards in the US. It's a candid program that documents a number of families who have lost control of their spending, as well as the practices credit card companies use to extend debt to people they know won't pay their bills (and thus rack up late fees, etc.). It's an interesting program. Here's the trailer for it:

I bought both DVD seasons of Wall Street Warriors a couple months ago.


It is a good, General documentary of the various jobs people have on Wall Street. I enjoyed watching the two day traders of the two seasons. But nothing was really covered in depth, or of any substance.
There's not that many Wall Street documentaries available - so I would recommend people watch it who are interested in trading.


Some good movie DVDs based on Wall St/trading/business are:

Wall Street, 1987
Rouge Trader, 1999
Other People's Money, 1991

I first read the book Rouge Trader, then watched the movie. Both are good. I enjoyed watching both seasons of Wall Street Warriors. As you say, they don't really go all that in depth, but it does give a good cross section of what some of the jobs are like on Wall Street.
