Ah, yes, the CNBC Million Dollar Portfolio Challenge. Kind of fell of the radar around these parts a bit. We’re not saying the game got boring but we will point out that even John “Making appearances on CNBC is my true passion, Dealbreaker just pays the bills” Carney hasn’t provided commentary, Englewood Cliffs-style, in some time. That’s as good a litmus test as any.
You know what could spice up the show? Maybe, and this is just a for instance, maybe, like, some ladies. Maybe some, we don’t know, young ladies. Perhaps ones that both pass traditional standards of beauty tests and care about protecting you from melanoma? Possibly, and this is just a for instance, we’re just workshopping this here: some Hawaiian Tropics models?
But who could pick just the right ones? Who could stand before a sea of barely-clad Hawaiian Tropics models and say, “You, you there, in the white bikini and you next to her, not you, god no, not you, I was pointing to the one with the belly button ring. Okay, very good, now who else, who else, who else will make Timmy’s list-o-fun? Oh hello, cougar in the back row—today’s your lucky day.”
Maybe, and we’re just throwing names into the hopper—Tim Sykes? Do you think Tim Sykes has what it takes to hand pick a few bathing beauties for appearance on the CNBC Million Dollar Portfolio Challenge? If you selected yes, tune in to DB tomorrow (and keep reading today, if that works for you). Last teaser: the selection process will be taking place in…Tim Sykes’s apartment. Intrigued?
Are you kidding? There is no need for that. CNBC hires perhaps the hottest broadcasters on television. One in particular: Seriously, is there any woman more adorable than Rebecca Jarvis? She makes you want to give up trading and spend the rest of your life taking care of her.
but none of the broadcaster broadcast in bathing suits.
Lawrence,
I don’t think you COULD take care of Rebecca if you abandoned your trading career.
Maybe we can get Lindsay from Wallstrip to get in on the action, she’s a fox.
Lindsay from Wallstrip is an über-fox!
yummmmmmmmm
Besides Bess, the hottest babe in financial journalism is still the uber-queen, Liz Clayman. Give me more of that Sorbonne action on a red head….
your standards of beauty are all messed up. a sure sign you people are watching too much financial news and not enough porn.
rebecca jarvis isn’t so hot since she lost on “the apprentice”
sgk,
Working for CNBC instead of Trump? Sounds like a damn smart career move.
SGK:
Trump was clearly tempted to hire Jarvis but it was only when that weasel Randal Pinkett said “It’s the ‘Apprentice’, not ‘Apprenti’” that her final chances were dashed. She made it to the very end, though. I agree wtih BSD that her career clearly has skyrocketed since losing that show. For one, what ever happened to some of these Apprenti? For another, learning business from Trump is like learning politics from George W Bush: Though they’ve both gotten pretty far in their respective fields, it’s because they won the lucky sperm contest.
Sorry for getting side-tracked. Let’s restate the original thesis: Rebecca Jarvis is hot so there’s no reason for Hawaiian Tropics anything. Also not hard on the eyes: Margaret Brennan, Julia Boorstin (yes, she is), and CNBC alumna Alexis Glick.
