There are many days to celebrate various things nowadays, from the invention of the hot dog to pets. You can add one more to the list that is near and dear to the Yahoo Finance team: National Investing Day. Charles Schwab (SCHW) coined the term for May 1, which coincides with the 50th anniversary of the SEC eliminating fixed commission rates. This event marked a significant catalyst for the investing industry as it democratized trading for retail investors. Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi welcomes Charles Schwab CEO Rick Wurster to the Opening Bid mic.

Wurster shares why it’s important for more people to become informed about investing and what he has learned from Schwab.
