Well, I certainly enjoy curling but who would have thought that major Wall Street types would be enjoying it as well.
People at Bank of America, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase and even the Treasury Department have gone a bit curling crazy. Terms like “kizzle kazzle” — a curling stone that is wobbled to compensate for slush on the ice — have suddenly entered the Wall Street lexicon. CNBC’s ratings have gotten a boost, too.
CNBC is the background noise at many trading houses and curling is just the sort of game that appeals to precision minded investors. The "chess on ice" aspect should also appeal to those strategists out there. The funny part is that if they put curling on USA or MSNBC then this would not have even been an issue. Now I wonder if we will end up seeing "Goldman Sachs presents the US Curling National Championships" anytime soon?
