Flash Trading, Solar Power and Exams

Business Weekly Archive

Available for over a year

Business Weekly delves into the lightening fast world of flash trading, where shares are bought and sold in the blink of an eye. And all in the split second before big deals are done. Does it give those who can afford the expensive software an unfair advantage? And no ray of sunshine for solar power - with everyone looking for new ways to generate power, why is that industry in such trouble? Plus, school and college exams - why the skills needed to succeed in them are precisely the opposite skills required in the workplace.
