It's a crazy business alright. And that is a gross understatement. I've spent some time on the CBOT trading floor during trading hours. It was years before the Merc bought them out. I had friends who worked there as runners and some of them started trading commodities futures after some time. Only one, that I know of, survived and is still a trader. I didn't work there but I used to go out drinking with those guys and I'd get invited onto the floor. Talk about chaos. Mercy!! I've also had drinks and spent time with cops and lawyers. Of the 3 groups I would be hard-pressed to pick which one had the most interesting, funniest, and the same time most tragic stories. I don't think I've ever laughed, and cried, so hard in my life as when I was swapping stories with those guys.
