Far too much whining in this thread - the show would be much less entertaining without the boiler room guys.
Not whining, just sad that this is how they choose to portray "Wall Street". SNDK guys I think were back in MAY when stock was at $44 and it did run to $57 but assuming they were long-term holders it is now below $30. Would love to hear the boiler room follow up to see if the recommended a sell at anytime.
LMAO..........Lattitty's parents flipped out when they heard of their daughter's "job" offer........they should flip out considering they dropped 120k on an NYU education i bet Lattitty doesn't even last 2 months...
What exactly do you want to see? They're not going to have some analyst talk about his research. Do you want an educational program? Leery of friends/family seeing the show and thinking that this is what you do?
SMB runs ads daily in Craigslist NYC finance jobs, along with all the other daytrading firms. I think a 22 yr old who went to a good business school is much better off trying to get into a real Wall St. firm. SMB may be a decent firm, but you only get one shot usually to get into an IB and that is right out of school. They will be much less interested in her after a year or two at SMB.
I graduated from a Tier 1 public in 06 and my school is finally getting one cranked up. The funny thing is, I'm only 23 and already a guest lecturer for it. You all shouldn't complain about the topics covered in the episodes, especially the Boiler Room guys. It IS a very real part of Wall Street and should be displayed for more people to learn about. Maybe less people will fall for it after seeing this.
