Given that SI was started as a place to discuss business and investing (ok, it was really started as a bulletin board to discuss technology stocks), its hard to believe how little discussion there is on SI about "The Apprentice".
I'm not a big fan of Donald Trump, nor of reality shows, but Trump certainly seems more mellow and wiser than he was in the 1980s. But more importantly, its a great show to observe group dynamics in the artificial sales & business world that the show's creators have created. Anybody who has to work with people, solve problems, and achieve measurable objectives of any kind (I guess this leaves out day traders and OTCBB stock promoters, lol) should think about watching this show.
The show's not without its flaws, but hey, its just a game.
The official web site for "The Apprentice" is here, including recaps of past episodes.

By the way, based on a 2 year or even 5 year chart, I would not recommend buying DJT ! |
