The next market session will close:

Oh yes, WSW is gonna throw another shrimp on the barbie starting this Friday night on their SBS channel

That makes it double digit countries that WSW is in now internationally…you can see the Hong Kong trailer here, I can’t even keep track of em all!

And yet on this side of the world, the 3rd season can’t even get pickedup anywhere. From the LA Times with the title “Obnoxious displays of wealth on TV a turn-off for many”:

It had the makings of reality-television gold.

The third season of “Wall Street Warriors” started filming this spring, as the financial sector’s meltdown accelerated. The show’s camera crews captured the pain and anger of the biggest stock market crash in decades.

But right now, the show doesn’t have an audience.

“Wall Street Warriors” was shot for Mojo HD, a high-definition cable channel that’s shutting down Monday, leaving the reality series without a home. Its producers are shopping the show to other networks, with no takers so far.

Its problem: Americans are too depressed about their own finances to entertain themselves by watching shows about money, according to industry executives and academics.

This is too damn funny, people don’t want to watch finance shows because it makes them remember their own shitty financial situations?

Hmmmmmm

This sounds like a job for PennyStocking ! All my subscribers are loving life/banking right now, as the pickmaster–me–is now up 212% since last November, see all their happy testimonials HERE. (Just had to throw that out there, being a used car salesman and such…)

But seriously, I think this is a load of crap…all WSW has to do is pitch their show not as a drama, but as financial education. After all, when times are tough, people wanna learn how to get out of debt now and borrow more on their home. (Hahahaha pathetic / broke Americans, I spit on you!)

After all, look at how CNBC has the highest ratings ever because they have manipulated people, people who are now down 40%+ on the year, into believing their entertainment is actually useful advice. (The suckers all rise up and cry out “Ouch”)

Perception is the name of the game here WSW. If you don’t want to go the education route, at least feature someone who’s banked off all this economic trouble…whether they’re lucky or not, you could give people someone to look up to…and that would get picked up by a network, trust me.
