Eric Bolling, host of Fox Business Network’s “Follow The Money,” talked with managing editor Leslie Stone of Opportunist magazine about how he made the switch from being a trader to covering the markets and other issues.
Here is an excerpt:
Opportunist: How do you handle guests who skirt the issues or refuse to answer your questions?

Opportunist: Has anyone ever been apprehensive about appearing on your show?
Eric: Frankly, yes, there are several instances where we tried to book a guest for a second round and when the people handling their schedule realized it was my show they declined because it was too hard the first time.
