Ok so now we know u spend the first few minutes of the day in the local 7-11. Maybe that was you infront of me every morning in the basement at the Cbot or was that you at the DunkinDonuts.??
Ok, clarify: Lobby level CBOT, the little cigarette stand near the NORTH side (no longer there I suppose with the construction) -or- the cafeteria in the basement?? Never did the DD over by wells in the morning...
I always stopped by the little cig shop after I got off the L. Or went down there after the morning trade in stock indexes. I rarely went to the Basement except for my fish sandwich once a week (hmm mmm). The trader to my left went by that DD every morning. I can smell the d-nuts right this minute. I kept to the Cig shop on my way in. Everyone once in a while if I was in early to trade a European Number or if I had a Eurex position on and could not sleep cuz I was taking HEAT. I would get breakfast downstairs. Food in the CBot is actually pretty good (esp. breakfast and the fish sandwiches). I am no longer there (or in Chicago). I actually miss all the little things.
Here my trading room - Meow! I had fun putting this one together. I've heard cats have traded for people if they inadvertently leave their computers on while they are out. I bet they make money most of the time.
