And in the early days on the CBOE...get in the way of a trader and you'd get a pen in the eye,or at least a hard elbow in the ribs and these people weren't trying to stop trading/protesting.

As a good (well, ''good'' is relative) local in the bean pit once said to me...I was a runner and desk man in 1974...

''If you think I'm gonna run over you because you're in the way when I've gotta get something done, you might be right or you might be wrong. But, even if I do, between me and the Floor Committee, whaddaya wanna bet happens?''

He was, of course, EXACTLY correct.

I never tested that notion, either. Probably a good move on my part. Never tried to do ''2 point 7 seconds on a bull named Fu Manchu'', either. The result, I think, would have been about the same.

FReegards, and the best to you!
