A night on the town with Cody Willard of Fox Business

Brian Stelter of the New York Times spends some time with Cody Willard of Fox Business Network, who is out with some friends.

Stelter writes, “The show in question is ‘Happy Hour’ on the fledgling Fox Business Network, where Mr. Willard, loud and with long hair, appears.

“The program — part stock market chat, part grown-up frat party — airs at 5 p.m. and distinguishes itself by broadcasting from the Bull & Bear bar at the Waldorf-Astoria. (Mr. Willard does not actually imbibe while on the air).

“His evenings on the town with friends like James Altucher, a hedge fund manager and author, and Paul Boni, an executive at a research corporation, can easily resemble segments on ‘Happy Hour.’ First there are predictions about stocks going up or down, followed by good-natured arguments about stimulus spending.

“A typical Willard line: ‘I’m sick to death of the government punishing me for following the rules.’ Another: ‘I hate the Republicans as much as I hate the Democrats.'”
