Long gone are the days when runners in color coded blazers passed orders around on the trading floor. Trades are entered on line with a few clicks of the keyboard and a mouse these day.

My uncle started out running orders around fresh out of High School using a HANDTRUCK. He wound up with a seat on the exchange - no college.

"Gone are the days" is right. I think NYC is "gone" too.
