The hidden part of the iceberg
- By: Ray Pellecchia
- File Under: NYSE
I'm not looking to pat ourselves on the back while so many are sore in the wallet today. But as you'll recall from last February, the only thing worse than a selloff is a selloff with a glitch attached to it. Giving you continuous, reliable access to the market (no matter how bearish or bullish) is an essential component of making the wheel go 'round.

I work on Wall Street; please don't hold that against me
- By: Ray Pellecchia
- File Under: NYSE
I'm a little distressed but not surprised by the anti-Wall Street sentiment running through most of these comments, and the ability of people to wish ill on others they don't even know. It's as if people think Gordon Gekko works on our trading floor, and here's their chance to get back at him.

Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup (a.k.a., more Q&A)
- By: Ray Pellecchia
- File Under: NYSE
One bunch of comments begets another, and I welcome that. It feels like limitless undying love, which shines around me like a million suns. It calls me on and on, across the universe.
Plus, it keeps me employed.
The following came in response to yesterday's post, "Restless wind inside a letter box." After this one, I'll knock off the "Across the Universe" references, I promise.
For the rest of today, at least.

Restless wind inside a letter box
- By: Ray Pellecchia
- File Under: NYSE
Apologies to Lennon, but thoughts keep meandering like a restless wind into my electronic letter box, even though I've been slacking off posting lately. Thanks for keeping the mail coming. Here, belatedly, is some more feedback on the the erroneous-trade problem that happened late last month.

USA Today:'Technology squeezes out real, live traders'
- By: Ray Pellecchia
- File Under: NYSE
The story is not unique to this trading floor, this company or this industry. The story is not man vs. machine, it's man AND machine -- how can we use technology to transform our business for the better, to create greater value for customers? What is the right combination of the two, the right balance?

My baby just wrote me a letter
- By: Ray Pellecchia
- File Under: NYSE
Well, she wrote me a letter
Said she couldn't live without me no mo'
Listen, mister can't you see I got to get back
To my blog once more
Anyway-ay...
Apologies to the Boxtops. And in truth, neither my baby nor anyone else wrote me that they couldn't live without me no more. My baby does occasionally e-mail me that I forgot to close the garage door or failed to clean out the downstairs closet, or some other similar love note.
Anyway-ay, after a week-plus off, I'm catching up on some interesting comments that have come in about the future of the trading floor, the erroneous-orders episode and other stuff.
