  1. LOL, it IS a gamble. Why do you think business students are REQUIRED to take a probability theory math class? Why does my professor just happen to be a “math genius” who is in fact an actuary, and why does he happen to be exceptionally good at poker and blackjack? Hmmmmm!

    That floor looks awesome though. :D I would have loved to be there when Lehman declared bankruptcy, lulz!

  2. stockbrokers are robbing people legally. many people have said were heading for a even worse crash.

  3. does any one know how can I begin learning the basics of trading?

  4. @CapitalistOverlord Better be a lot of money these fuckers are pretty rich.

  5. Fuck it…

  6. I wish somebody would throw money off one of those balconies. I think it would be interesting to see those bastards trample each other for money.

  7. trading was mostly done by phone calls back in the 80`s

  8. @vishaal100 differences with each trader. Everyday, in Forex alone (so not even stock etc.) there’s 3 trillion USD traded. Today, I made 21 dollar within 15 minutes when news came out. =]

  9. The NYSE is known as an “Open Outcry”system, where a lot of SE’s around the world use purely electronic systems now, hence no need for a physical trading floor.

  10. cool… what’s the place like before we had all the computers and e-trading? how about even further back then before when phones weren’t so popular?

  11. the floor broker earn the commission from their clients. The specialist is the guy he asked sitting on the chair.

  12. how much do these guys earn?

  13. also how much money do the floor traders earn?

  14. is it true there is no trading floor in the London Stock Exchange? please answer

  15. the devils playground!

  16. NYSE AMEX NASDAQ ))))))))))))))

  18. Where is the specialist ??

  19. Yes you can! But its likely that those shares will go down. heh

  20. Can i buy around 10,000 shares and in a month sell them when they go up, or is it against the rules?

  21. Thanks, Ted…great tour!

  22. shit dog, and many there have lost a lot of money and how many more will lose

  23. The NYSE, baby

  26. One of the benefits of shopping online is that it helps consumer saves time. This suits the current lifestyle of most people who are rather busy and have difficulty finding time doing all their shopping at physical stores. With online shopping, they can cut down on their traveling time. Furthermore, if the product they want is not available in the physical store, they need to go to another store to find it. With shopping online, all these inconvenience can be avoided.
