thanks very much for the post Eric. Sorry it got all jacked up starting about page 10... just wanted you to know that there are many traders who appreciate what you guys who have been in the game for a while are putting down for us. A lot of us don't post very much, and it's hard to sift through...

because our pit crew found out for us- once they were informed of the nyse decision to break, it was gonna cost our firm quite a bit. they immediately called arca to see if they were going to break the trades. they said nyse was wrong, and there is no way for them to go back and break all those...

it's not too bad, I would dress no more than buisness casual. you'll talk to the hr lady, she'll ask some general questions; why do you want to do this, tell me a time when you've been in a high pressure environment and how did you handle that, etc... you can ask questions, you'll talk to the...
