Stock exchanges are just black boxes nowadays. Very little trading gets done on the floor.

Very little trading gets done on the floor.

You ever watch CNBC and the floor traders scramble to look like they are doing something when CNBC does a live feed.

Only the most complex of deals are done on the floor, and even when that does happens a sizable part of the deal is done in private - off exchange. That's the nature of mergers and acquisitions these days.
