PODCAST: The Volcker Rule: What’s that again?

Regulators have announced that, after years of wrangling, they are finally set to finalize the details of the so-called Volcker Rule. If you’re between the ages of 62 and 70, you’re eligible for Social Security. But when should you take it? And, for one day, Emerson College's communication school will be renamed the Ron Burgundy School of Communication.

U.S. regulators have announced that, after years of wrangling, on December 10 they are finally set to finalize the details of the so-called Volcker Rule. 

If you’re between the ages of 62 and 70, you’re eligible for Social Security. But when should you take it? Allan Sloan, senior editor-at-large for Fortune Magazine, tackled the topic in Fortune’s annual investor guide. And he says it depends.

Fake newsman Ron Burgundy (played by actor Will Ferrell) is waging a PR blitz for his new movie “Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues.” The sexist anchor with the 70s ‘stache is hawking Dodge Durangos. He anchored a real-life newscast in North Dakota last weekend. And today, Emerson College is renaming one of its schools the “Ron Burgundy School of Communication” for a day.
