Etan Vlessing of The Hollywood Reporter takes a look Friday at the new show on Business News Network — the Canadian equivalent of CNBC — called “Stock & Awe,” a comedy on a business news channel.
“The scripted content is mixed in with investment tips from financial advisers and ordinary Canadians discussing their own investment mishaps. And in among the funny business is a serious message: If you want to invest responsibly in your race against retirement, get smart about the markets.
“‘You don’t want to feel stupid,’ Doyle said of ordinary investors that want to trust their banks or financial advisors, and yet don’t know what to ask so-called ‘experts’ about their investments.
“Series director Lisa Robertson adds the homegrown comedy also aims to minimize risk among ordinary investors so they can stay in the markets for the long haul. ”
