    I keep refreshing thinking this article is from 2003.

    Certainly, the days are long gone when firms like First Options & Spear Leeds had virtually unlimited credit lines to be there to make deep, liquid markets. Both of those firms got folded into Goldman Sachs Executive Clearing, who then acted as our PB for yrs.

    NYSE has been merely a TV set for at least a decade now. I'm so old I can remember when they use to actually trade stocks at the New York Stock Exchange.
