Quote from rufus_4000:
You mean the firm on 2nd (or 3rd) floor of CBOT building, rite? If so, they are a fairly friendly firm, and have been long time members of CBOT and NYMEX (since early 80s I believe), trading mostly in physical commodities, cotton, precious metals, etc, at least that's what they were doing a few years back. They do have an upstairs (aka electronic) prop trading operation. I am sure the recent spike in commodities trading volume has helped their overall revenue.
I know some of their principals, and it is a friendly, down to earth group of ppl. But on the other hand, they don't focus on any sophisticated technology, automated anything, etc, it is a fairly "old school" trading firm.
