How Trading on the NYSE Floor Has Changed, According to a Former NYSE Trader

I can remember when they used to actually trade stocks at the New York Stock Exchange. Guys like that were called "2 Dollar Brokers." Total order-fillers. Guy likely never took Principal risk in his life.

NYSE's main function for the last 20 years has been as a high-priced TV studio for low rent content.

Guy is just longing for easier times where he could make an easy dollar by just being there. Now that it's more precise and fairer (despite everything), he's talking about patriotism and charities - things that have nothing to do with actual placing of trades.
