Welcome to Insight on Business today we're mixing things up a bit. Our story is about the wild day we had on Wall Street as we watched the markets gain new ground. Then we present a conversation with Professor Bidisha Chakrabarty from Iowa State University with a story that has, mostly, flown under the radar. It has to do with the opportunity to do Wall Street Trading 23 hours a day for the five days the markets are open. Who will that impact and what might be the future. All asked and answered.
