We stopped watching Wall Street Warriors after the first season because that was the last one that featured hedge fund guru Tim Sykes. Still, we feel for the diehard fans who had their hearts ripped out and stomped on this morning when the Times reported that MOJO, the high-definition channel that previous carried the WSW, will be closing up shop. An uncharacteristically subdued Sykes told us he thinks the home of Charlie Gasparino would be the perfect place for the series to find a new home. Sayeth Sykes: “I think CNBC should pick it up, [but] maybe they’re too afraid of picking up something that’s so realistic, considering the alternate financial reality they’ve worked so hard to create. Ultimately, WSW3 will of course find a home. The producers are just too talented and the content is in demand.”

I just saw NINE seperate people boxes on CNBC… absolutely ridiculous
and most of the people didn’t even talk.
Dude, you missed it when they had the decabox.
The TV show “The Brady Bunch” had nine boxes on their intro screen.
@1,
who cares? if its not a decabox or bigger it doesnt f*cking matter
#3 Too TDS, didn’t read.
Brady Bunch ruled. How hot was Marica? Many loads dropped thinking about her.
WSW was a joke, especially last season. Those two piker brokers pitching SNDK stock and those two SMB knobs. Show has about as much relavance as Trader Monthly. People watched to make fun of the people, thats about it. Sykes def being one of them. Trolling for pennies and constantly getting turmed down by any investor with a brain.

Hey @ 5, it does fucking matter you moron.
I wish I saw the decabox… I especially liked how they gave 4 of the commentators their own box, and then cut back to them all sitting next to each other.
WSW was entertaining. I know I for one wanted to punch that canadian private equity dude. And that Sykes goon made me laugh when he got upset because he sold his 10 shares of at $0.32 instead of $0.33
BNP Paribas Transfers Jean-Marc Bonnefous from New York To London
BNP Paribas today announced it is sending Jean-Marc Bonnefous, tete of commodity derivatives from New York to London.
WSW was cool, the chick in the second season not that bad. PYT
@9
I finally sucked it up and watched WSW for the 1st time a week or two ago, and if I hadn’t been heavily under the influence at the time, quite possibly would have jumped in front of a bus seeing those SNDK-pitching hacks being represented as “wall street warriors”.
I loved the head guy from the firm saying (paraphrasing here) “If this doesn’t work out we’re finished.” Ha what a boiler room.
Gimme.a.f&cking.break.
@14, they were the two biggest rednecks too. So full of stupid salesy talk as well. Nothing worse than a retail schmuck who cold calls all day. Then you have the big timr russian fro season one, another hack.
WSW was at least somewhat entertaining. all people complaining, what did you want to watch? a typical day for most ppl on wall street? BORING
at least season two did have that decent chick to look at…
#8/9-
I (along with others I know) found WSW highly entertaining. What’s wrong with that? Your tone suggests there are people they should be profiling so the show isn’t so much of “a joke.” I’ll admit that the sandisk guys were pretty brutal, but still interesting to watch.
For those curious, you can still watch season 2 on hulu.com. (no sykes, though)
@17, that all well and good. I just have a problem with the people they choose who are supposed to be “hitters”. They make all of us like a bunch of jerkoffs.
People in other parts of the country think Sykes actually runs a hedge fund, can you imagine that??
@ 20 shut the fuck up and clean my pool
I am betting Sykes starts quoting Dealbreaker saying he’s a “guru”. That guy’s a joke.
@20- dealbreaker was being sarcastic.
Nicely played, 19…
@4 — technically, the Bunch had five “boxes”. But one was prepubescent and another was a dried up old soup chicken. So, three functionable boxes…
#19 Hit a little close to home did I? Ha!
#21 That was my point.
when are associate numbers for Cilantro coming out?
@25, hahhahahah thats hilarious Cilantro Fund, what a joke. I wwould pull an R Kelly on Sykes if I ever saw him out in the city.
When is reality show about Charlie Cracksparino coming out? Now THAT I’d watch
wtf? did I miss something, how is 19 calling out 20? did someone’s post get taken down?
@anal_yst – where have you been? wsw is so bull market…
@cluz- it was a joke.
I saw the big tool who was pitching SNDK outide of 2 gold one day drinking Pabst, he didn’t look employed. Wonder why…
