Separated at Birth

UTC readers are big fans of the CNBC show Fast Money.  Thus, we are thinking of making the Fast Money crew honorary StockJockeys, which is Underthecounter’s version of Institutional Investor’s first-team ranking. Our highest honor indeed.

But with the show airing infrequently, fans suffer painful Fast Money withdrawals. They need more.

We are here to help.  If CNBC can’t put the show on more consistently we are thinking of running our own version of Fast Money.

With an alternative slate, if you will, of panelists.

Tim is the resident heartthrob of the bunch...the pulse of the ladies seems to rise when “The Risk Doctor” is making his rounds.  He reminds us of “McDreamy” from “Grey’s Anatomy”. Many of the best and brightest on the street are fugly dudes. Strazzini breaks the mold.

Although George Hamilton is arguably brighter than Adami and infinitely smoother, they both sport year-round glows.  Maybe its “The Negotiator’s” Mediterranean heritage. Or just a lot of makeup.  Perhaps the stress of big block trading keeps him flush…

No explanation needed here.  The charismatically challenged “Lone Wolf” knows his stuff but his snarky persona could use a little more Hollywood flash...and Verne Troyer could probably cover Retail/Consumer as well as the current crop of sellside analysts...Big and Tall category excluded.

Bolling trades at a big league level.  These High Roller’s both played professional baseball...albeit at the minor league level for Bolling until an injury prematurely ended his career.  They have a seemingly endless appetite for risk and would rather be sitting at a roulette table than spending a day at the beach.

Traders are opinionated and rarely agree. “The Commissioner” Ratigan keeps his charges under control given the frequent fisticuffs. Quite similar, in our view, to the role Richard Dawson played squelching internecine conflict on that classic game show “Family Feud”

We will be calling Ari to try to get the ball rolling…
