Life in the Pits: My Time as a Trader on the Rough-and-Tumble Exchange Floors

by Brad Schaeffer

Overview

"Brad's book about those now bygone days of the trading pits is both hilarious and insightful. Anyone interested in how markets behave, how to trade them, and the broader life lessons such a stressful work environment imparted should add this easily digestible read to their collection of business literature. I spent years on the floor, and this fun and lighthearted reflection on those truly unique business venues brings it all back to life. I highly recommend it." —J. Robert Collins Jr., CEO of Mercantile Bank International and Former President of the New York Mercantile Exchange
