Business Weekly

Amateur trading: Reward and risk

Duration: 53 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC World Service News InternetLatest broadcast: on BBC World Service East Asia

Available for over a year

On this episode of Business Weekly, we examine the world of amateur traders. One in five Americans now play the stockmarket, but there are warnings that inexperienced traders could be caught out. Also, we take a look at the new space race. Commercial enterprises are vying to see who can get the most satellites into orbit in order to provide internet connectivity to some of the world’s poorest and most rural regions. In the week when Bumble made its market debut, we hear how dating apps are faring during the pandemic. And we chat to the man who provides books for home offices so his clients can seem well-read on video conferencing calls. Business Weekly is presented by Lucy Burton and produced by Matthew Davies.
