Floored

[Pazienza]

Mods - please delete this thread if this has been done already. The film has been out for a while so there may already be a thread about it.

I'm not sure if people are aware of this, but there is an interesting little documentary called "Floored" about the Chicago pits and how computerised trading, Globex and whatnot has changed things.

It's a fairly good film and quite poignant in parts, strangely enough. Definitely worth a watch if you trade futures or are just interested in a bit of history and a rapidly disappearing world.

Watch it for free here:

Episode 4 is my favourite.

Does anyone own the DVD?

Someone said it has extra bits not shown on the internet..

thanks for providing that link.

I've been wanting to watch that for some time.

you've gotta feel for some of those guys who refuse, or find it too difficult to move with the times
