    Trading for Teenies. A Teenie was 1/16 of a dollar. Options were quoted in 1/16 and traders on the floor were either Teenie buyers or sellers.

    What software did you use? I used the DOS version of Ensign. This was before GUI and www. You either started trading at a very young age or you are OLD lol. God willing I’ll make my 72nd trip around the Sun in 2 months.

    Once you get use to reverse Polish notation it’s hard to go back to a conventional calculator.
