The New York Times’ Tim Arango writes about the return of Ron Insana to CNBC.

Insana started his own hedge fund, and later left it and CNBC in August to join SAC Capital. “The one regret I have is we ended up losing money,” Insana said.

But earlier this month he returned to the network, in a part-time role.

Now Insana says he can share his experience as a player in the financial market with the TV audience. “I got to see it first-hand,” he said. “In the media world, you rarely get the chance to go inside.”
