Wall Street marks the day after Thanksgiving with a holiday-shortened session on Black Friday, but are the door-buster deals a thing of the past? Becky Quick and Andrew Ross Sorkin are joined by CNBC’s Steve Liesman on consumer holiday behavior and WSJ’s Joanna Stern offers her picks for personal technology gift ideas.
