Testosterone overwhelming TV financial programs -- like shopping for a car

I hate buying a car because of all the shouting, aggressiveness, and other testosterone driven behavior displayed by salesmen. Car dealerships are catching on, adding women to their sales force and lowering the hype and noise levels. That is not yet the case with Wall Street, especially the financial media. In fact, the newest shows on TV are worse than ever. Just look at Cramer or Fast Money or even CNBC. Cramer is ridiculous, and the “boys” of Fast Money are children in recess after a tough time in school. I know Fast Money has added a woman and the CNBC has one too, but these are women with testosterone packed ovaries. Financial shows have copied car salesmen – the loud macho male model – with unadulterated glee.

I know a lot of women who would like to find a financial program (and not that silly Suze Orman and who just can’t. We don’t need boys shouting at us and acting like fools. We need calm and deliberate presentations – grown-up presentations. It really is not a gender thing. It rests really on an adult versus boys at a bar model. I bet there are a lot of men out there who would much prefer not to have to put up with the antics of a Cramer or the kids at Fast Money.

If anyone is listening out there, tone it down and add some men and women of wisdom and calm.
