1) If someone desired to associate themself, as an assistant perhaps, on the floor of the NYSE, could anyone advise how they thought would be a good idea to find out about such availabilities, if they exist. I know people who started out that way in the commodities pit, but none on the exchange floor. 2) Does anyone know of any firms that specialize in, or at the very least have a department/section that emphasizes swing or position trading.
