On this week's installment of Flash Talks Cash, JoAnn "Flash" Fleming and Andrew Newman are talking about the accessibility of government loans.

Other topics on today's episode include high interest rates, investing in the stock market, and credit risk. Today's program was brought to you by S. Wallace Edwards & Sons.
