I only watch CNBC for the Money Honeys. ( and the occasional quotes or occasional "real" news )
I don't watch the Money Honey's, in particular, just the phenomenon of putting only young hot women in front of the camera, whilst the guys are middle-aged frumps - some with no hair on top, but sporting pony-tails.
First of all, there is, was, and will always only be one Money Honey, and she left CNBC for FBN a year ago. Moreover, she's in her mid to late 40s so I don't know where you're getting the notion that only young, hot women are in front of the camera. You need to watch CNBC a little more.
Secondly, and as further rebuttal, I have two words for you:

No, Maria was the FIRST Money Honey. She's not the only one.

There hasn't been a new addition that wasn't hot. It's requisite. That, and being able to read the teleprompter or listen in on the earbud for clues on how to appear more knowledgeable then they actually are. You can't count guest commentators who are still overwhelmingly young and hot vs. the guys.
If you are claiming that there isn't a discrepancy, then YOU need to watch CNBC a little more.

I don't know how Sue managed to hang on, but she did. I watched Sue the day the Dow crashed in 1987.
One thing good about stock market crashes is that this is when you find out who is running the Ponzi schemes or just plain risky investments (like non-traded REIT's).

I haven't claimed a thing. We're discussing your claim that CNBC only puts young, hot women in front of the camera, remember? Which is a pretty ridiculous statement come to think of it when you yourself state that your two favorite on camera personalities are women who are in their 50s.
You did claim that there was only one Money Honey. That would be a thing.

OK, then I'll rephrase that. They have only hired young, hot women to be on the camera for the last couple of years, at least. They have retained two legacy females, but with the exception of those two CNBC regulars, all the female reporters are young and hot and none of the males are.

Having the two reporters with the most seniority as my favorites does not make my statement above, in any way, "ridiculous."
I'll also add that the women are never in a suit, but in something form-fitting and often sleeveless, whilst the convex members of the crew all have to wear, at least, a tie, if not a suit jacket and a tie.
Heck, most of the guests that they have on there are more often than not, also hot.

And in other breaking news, the sun will set in the west this evening and is predicted to rise in the east tomorrow morning.
Welcome to the world of broadcast news.
Not to mention weather. (The ones here in Miami all dress like hookers with F'me shoes on, ready for a night on the town at a SoBe club.)
I was amazed at the episode I saw last night. Touted returns as high as 12 to 14 percent in several weeks and only 1 percent of their principal was at risk! Of course people dumped their ENTIRE savings into this thing. The guy was basically gambling their money away at the casinos.
the wolf of wall street used to live around the corner from us. in fact his father still does as far as i know . we used to belong to the same pool club
All I know is my buddy was financially destoroyed. Hes ok now but it took years to get some solid ground under him. But it really gives you a front seat look at what bad decisions can do.
Im not sure if the scam was the same as the Dana swindle. But I remember he said a few people got ripped on that
Any of you guys remember Charles Keating and Home Savings scandal?
