Business Weekly - Flash Trading, Solar Power and Exams

Business Weekly takes a look at flash trading. The buying and selling of shares in the fractions of seconds before big deals are made on the markets. Is it fair to those who cannot afford to do it?

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.
