Customer Reviews
Great show
I love these guys. No stuffy, relaxed and informative!!
Good not great
This show used to be a good way to understand the markets and finance world, but has slowly gone downhill. There is way too much discussion on the the fad of the month, and overreacting to the market news of the week. Too many half baked ideas thrown out without much critical analysis. Also, neither host listens when the other is speaking, they are just waiting for their turn to talk.
Excellent, entertaining and keeps me informed
Love this show. I am not a financial markets obsessive, but Michael and Ben keep me up to date each week with what I need to know, but no more. And I always enjoy the financial advice and book and pop culture recs.
