Wall Street Week

Not all private capital is good for the economy. What is not mentioned is how many companies become loaded with debt to the detrment of the company and their suppliers. Being private and closely held by the PE firms puts customers and suppliers in a position of increased exposure because not all investments are designed for corporate growth.

A welcome 2015 addition to the landscape of personal investment programming. More thought-provoking than most financial program offerings airing over the past decade or so. But so far not living up to its promise.

Better interviewing skills on the part of this show's hosts would go a long way toward improving watch-ability and value to viewers. Potential is inhibited by a closed-end questioning style.

The guests are uniformly excellent. What a shame they're routinely mishandled.

Two or three open-ended questions per episode would take this program to a higher level.

The "word association" portion is amateurish, being word association in name only. Producers need to be careful here to avoid turning off their target (surely literate) demographic.

Clumsy editing is a secondary gripe.
