I was in NYC in mid February and Jared Bilkre and his partner in crime Sydnee Fried asked me to come down to the NYSE and do a live podcast. It was a tiny little studio on the second floor, but I don’t care, I got a full access traders pass to the NYSE!!! You bet I just went wandering around taking pictures and chatting people up. Eventually security gave me the “okay, it’s time to go now, whoever you are” but there is still nothing like being down on the floor. And yes, there are still real people doing trades and some tense moments, it’s just not as packed or busy as the old days.
As for what we covered, I was in a “let me tell you how the world works” mood and remember that this is for Yahoo! which has a younger Gen Z, millennial crowd. So I get a little more animated and definitely just say whatever is on my mind. Enjoy!
