Pretty good for an "I was there" book. Lots of flavor from the vantage
of the pits, from when he started in Gold under Maury on thru his learning
curve at the inception of the S&P contract & onto running the biggest
deck on the floor. Now he's running his own fund off-floor & wants
a little of the respect given others like Paul Tudor Jones. Believes electronic
trading's time has come. Suggests side-by-side trading like the LIFFE (?)
did before going electronic. No real trading tips other than psychological.
A good read before turning out the lights at night.

Good luck and good trading,

The best way to buy an options is to know what its theoretical value is at
a given price. If you are going to trade the underlying for a period of
time and amortize the value of the option then 1/4 or 3/8 isn't going to
make much difference. Ira.
