"Who are we? We were a bunch of guys who were hungry. We were traders to whom it did not matter---whether it was eggs or gold, bellies or the British Pounds, Turkeys or T-Bills. We were babes in the woods, innocents, in a world we did not understand, too dumb to be scared. We were audacious, brazed, raucuous pioneers--too unworldly to know we could not win. That odds againts us were too high; That the banks would never trust us; That the goverments would never let us; That Chicago was the wrong place." Leo Melamed(the father of financial futures) at the 10th anniversary of currency trading. I have known Leo a long time and am very close to his son @Jordanmelamed. This quote is from Mickey Nortons book called "Game Changer" Mickey was the first woman trader on any trading floor. She is 94 or 95 like Leo. She is an owner of both the White Sox and the Bulls. She still trades and she attends EVERY home game of both the Sox and the Bulls. You should ALL know who Leo Melamed is and you should also learn who Mickey Norton is.
