    maybe they've heard that Charlie in the Bonds dept has worn jeans to work today instead of dress down Friday?
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    I am no expert, and I didn't check all the posts, but I noticed the first few did not answer this question.
    Maybe I can provide a tiny bit of info: At the NYC Stock Exchange, no one's yelling or running much these days. It's a quiet place with people standing around terminals. They are usually executing trades for other people, in order for those people to have an immediate line to the exchange.
    On the Mercantile exchange, in Chicago, (the CME) it is more of an auction floor, where commodities are traded. I believe they began trading in that geographic location because the origin of the futures contract was for people who traveled by boat to deliver goods - starting North, and traveling South along varous rivers, especially the great lakes and then into the mississippi. Buyers would agree to pay a price up front to get thier delivery in the future from the suppplier.
    At the Merc, there is much more quick trading and yelling and finger gestures as the people on the floor communicate what they want to buy and for what price and for what delivery date, according to what their analysts and researchers are telling them, often by phone, from other locations, not on the actual floor.
    Having someone representing you on either floor is the way to get the quickest and fastest price you want. For this, the people on the floor usually take a service fee per share or trade.
