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?
