Top 5 Women of Financial News

Perhaps America's media content is so inexplicitly mundane that you really do focus the plastic beauty of a newscaster instead of realizing that you just spent an hour listening to commentary on Herman Cain’s sexual harassment suit.

Personally, I cannot complain. Much like true beauty in the office space (See my OBP post here), beauty on my television set can never be an issue. Since I might already be considered a womanizer here, I am going to run with it, and list my Top 5 Women of Financial News:

5) Michelle Caruso-Cabrera- Just how I like em’- aged well and republican to the bone. Sorry Bartiromo, you’re time as CNBC’s prime time MILF has passed and Caruso-Cabrera has officially taken the title. There’s just something great about her that I just cannot put my finger on.

4) Cristina Alesci- 30ish year old gal from NYC. She works for Bloomberg and covers M&A and trends within private equity. Alesci is a graduate of the City University of New York’s Graduate School of Journalism with and undergrad from Pace University.

3) Emily Chang- This Hawaiian native anchors on Bloomberg West, a San Francisco-technology segment. Stunningly enough, she also graduated from Harvard. Her credentials include five Emmy’s for her time at Bloomberg and a Pan Asian look that will have you wanting to work in Silicon Valley venture capital.

2) Amanda Drury- Holds a degree in art, French, and Japanese from Melbourne university. Still unsure on how I feel about her Aussie accent, but nonetheless, she’s total babe. In my opinion, she’s on track to be CNBC’s next Erin Burnett, who would 100% be on this list if she had not left to CNN.

1) Melissa Francis- Another Harvard graduate with a degree in economics. Interestingly. she was also the captain of Harvard’s Polo Team. I have to credit Mrs. Francis as one of the people who first got me interested in finance. Sure, she’s had her fair share of up’s and down’s, but with eyes like that- she’ll always be my number 1.

Looks like CNBC and Bloomberg have dominated the list, so sorry BBC. Did I miss anyone?

Amanda Drury, hands down nr. 1.

She makes it bearable to watch CNBC, amidst Jim Cramer and Brian Sullivan. What a bunch of retards.

Nebular]Lynn Tilton? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynn_Tilton[/quote What's the matter, you guys don't like a good ass kicking from a rich broad with leather boots once in a while? girlymen
that is borderline disgusting, is Oprah on your list as well?
Hey thar sweetcheeks, your ass would be like candy in an S&M club.

For the record, I'm just kidding, and I'm not the biggest fan of kinky shit. I don't know enough about Tilton to actually like or dislike her, but the public stereotype is fun to play with and she thrives off of it so everyone walks away with something. A lot of the time, people's reaction to my humor is reflective of what particular nerve I've hit [intentionally or otherwise]: based on your signature, you may just want to take some time and think about what your subconcience is wrestling with.

Most of the people on this forum are just blowing off a little steam, meeting some people, and learning something, but if you think THIS is twisted, wander on over to Dealbreaker...your freakin head will explode.

Get busy living
 

Your list is not good. Not having Drury #1 is inexplicable, Francis is not even that hot, and Cabrera is a bitch. I don't know their names, but there are at least 2 different bloomberg girls that should be on that list instead of what you put.

 

Caruso-Cabrera sucks.

Mandy Drury ftmfw.

yep yep yep

i also cannot understand drury half the time she speaks

 

Agree with Marg Brennan.

Bloomberg has some semi-hot anchors, but overall nothing crazy. I guess that is why they are better at actually reporting the news.

And Melissa Lee is a way hotter CNBC Anchor hailing from Harvard as opposed to Melissa Francis.

looking for that pick-me-up to power through an all-nighter?
 
futuretrader1999Watch bloomberg at 2am eastern the international anchors are hotter than the ny ones

actually 2am is a repeat of bloomberg west, you probably mean 1 or 3

looking for that pick-me-up to power through an all-nighter?
 

Michelle only got the bit tits going for her, otherwise, her face does look like a foot, I agree with ST or IB. Amanda Drury is abosolutely smokin hot blonde, Sara Eisen got a great bod for a blond, Margaret Brennen to me is top one or two. Oh, but wait, the spanish one from bloomberg is also top one or two ... oh wait, i gotta come back to this list, get my names right.

"Kept feeding him dollars 'till it all started to make cents."
 

no contest - #1 right now is sara eisen. Erin B will always be my favorite. Thankfully she's got way more face time on her new show, but she is looking a bit older...

 

Amanda Drudy looks like she sucks cock for approval (not a criticism) Melissa Francis reminds me of a troll doll. The other 3 are just meh. I forgot what whey look like by the time I scrolled down.

If I disagree with you, it's because you're wrong.
