Ashley Cerasaro of  Park Place magazine in New Jersey profiles Fox Business Network anchor Eric Bolling and discusses his career switch from trading to financial journalism.

Cerasaro writes, “‘He’s a Jersey boy like me; he just calls ‘em as he sees ‘em,’ says Neil Cavuto, senior vice president of Fox Business Network and a Mendham resident. ‘Viewers sense that clear, blunt approach. That’s why so many are drawn to Eric and his show.’

“Bolling and his producers didn’t feel the title Money Rocks fit the hard-hitting direction in which they were headed, so in October, Bolling announced a new name for the program, Follow the Money with Eric Bolling.

“Bolling, a political conservative, says he is careful not to venture too far into politics on Follow the Money because his sister network has it covered. Still, he admits, it is tough for a self-described political junkie to hold back. ‘If I could watch a football game and a C-SPAN debate at the same time, I’d be in heaven,’ he laughs. But on his program, he explores topics at the crossroads of business and politics and feeds his political passion by guest hosting Fox News shows.”
