Surdo, do you have some stories or advice, regarding institutional buying/selling and marketmaking, that can be useful to retail traders?
Meet me for a beer in NYC, and I will babble for hours about how printing money was the norm back in the day. The landscape has completely changed in today's market. Spreads of 1/8 and 1/4 ooooooooo those were the days!
If you have entertaining trading stories, I don't mind paying for your beers while you babble. Good luck to your 2012 trading.
