janis its a little known fact that banks have trading floors.
hmm how would I know this I used to work for fleet I spent quite a bit of time on them keeping thier gear up and running.
oh and boston has a trading floor too in the finacial district. the boston stock exchange ask skunks.
what i have not let out on this board janice is during my duties for a few buisnesses Ive done a bit of work in the infastucture of the trading world.
granted im not a great investor im a newbie at that but I do know about how the mms comunicate and monitor stocks.
the nyse has a huge trading floor but and any instatution like fleet, state street, bank of america, and fidelity have thier own trading floors. so if the nyse got blown up the market would not be a total washout.
technicly your not supposed to be privy to that info but if do ask at the front desk at 100 federal if they have a trading floor they would say yes so its not a big breach of protocal.
you could say im full of bs thats fine by me.
but unless you post your resume and references your credibility is just as questionable as mine.
in some ways I like that.
evens the playing field.
I would rather have folks have a little bit of doubt and question my info than take it as gospel and hold me accountable.
thats my slant.
