After a sharp decline in the various indices on Monday, we thought it wise to reach out to our friends at the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University. Joining us from the academic world to determine whether this is the beginning of the end (its not!) or just a blip on the radar (most likely) were Daniel Spulber, Professor of International Business and Professor of Strategy and Ravi Jagannathan, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange/John F. Sandner Professor of Finance. Also weighing in was the brilliant Martin Hutchinson, who gave us the view fromt he commercial side.
