Rick Santelli said it best. "would you rather watch a football game on your big screen, HD tv with all of the different camera angles. Thats pit trading. or would you rather have that camera focused on the score board. thats electronic trading". makes sense

Actually I have been trading futures since 1992. Ag futures mainly. I've met a few ex pit traders over the years. They play the open and go and eat breakfast... done for the day. OK, so 50K is an exaggeration.

@logikos1 Ok, well I'll take that at face value.Yeah I don't know what you do, or care what you do - but you have not been a trader, and so I wonder why you are so eager to comment on them/it.['Oh, and I make 50 grand in 10 minutes.'].... REALLY that is a super-retarded comment haha. You couldn't have traded for one single week in your life, and make a comment like that! Really, that is retarded!

You have no clue what I do, but if you did you would shut your pie hole. I'm glad you had a chance to work there. Congratulations. Maybe I saw you from the observation window. My comment was made tongue-in-cheek, but you're wound so tight you wouldn't recongize that.

To us that worked there, it is all crystal clear. It is you that has the problem of not understanding.

(Christ even at 16 I'd bought books, and worked out what a trading floor was. Anyone who talks about 'waving arms', 'screaming'.... is so detached from reality, you suspect there is little that might ever help them!

@logikos1 Hahaha. Another wannabe, who will never be. Because you are ignorant and have a bad attitutude, compared to people who work hard and DRIVE for success.See you down on 3rd shift at McD's sometime eh? Come on chop chop get my order boy lol

logikos1 (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)

So, what do you do for a living?Well I jump up and down, wave my arms frantically, and scream at the top of my lungs. Oh, and I make 50 grand in 10 minutes.
