Interesting spin on the changing times in the markets....
The movie features many "old timers" bitching about the changes in the markets. Ultimately very few of them manage to make the transition to the new way of trading.
Adapt or get out is the message.
**** A world that's more riot than profession, the trading floors of Chicago are a place where gambling your family's mortgage is all in a day's work. Floored offers a unique window to this lesser-known world of finance. These men may not have degrees, but they've got guts, and penchant for excess that solicits simultaneous feelings of revulsion and admiration. But like many aspects of our economy, technology is changing the way these traders do business, and these eccentric pit denizens aren't the type to take kindly to new tricks. ****
