I thought Borsellino's book was entertaining. Most pit traders that I've met or read about are entertaining. I just listened to an interview with CME pit trader Rick Burgess. He talks about having to throw punches.

Quote from Apex Capital:
Saw one of the largest traders at the CEC on the COMEX floor in the silver pit try and run some stops once and "reneg" on a 200 lot order that was being executed by a "Rocky" Stallone type floor broker that worked for Preston Semel. The floor broker nearly took his head off!
This was back in 1986.
The pit trader's first name was Mark.
That floor trader was dino and he was the guy you didnt mess with, curious was it mark dickstein or mark fisher?
who is an old mook and if it is 5 years old why would you reply so quick.
