I was wondering if the BLOCK trading branch in New York City was still using a geek to read the news aloud to their traders? Seems they wanted to save money and figured they would not have to pay a station charge per terminal. No news at all at the trading terminals. Problem was, that the dude doing the reading didn't have a clue, and was likely to read some stale ancient history as if it was hot off the wire. Cost traders plenty. Buyer Beware. (They don't call it the spread for nothing)
