Episode 16: Stories from the Floor - The Wild Heyday of the NYSE. With Lance Harvey & Kevin Cook
Lance Harvey and Kevin Cook both worked at the New York Stock Exchange in what many people consider its heyday - the 90s. In this episode, Maggie (who reported from the exchange early in her career) chats with them about their careers, what they learned, their mistakes, the life lessons the floor taught them, why it was the “ultimate evolutionary sink or swim,” and a lot more.
If trading war stories are your thing, or Wall Street is your favorite movie, this is for you. It’s a cozy sit down with friends that’s just missing the actual fireplace. Oh, and while markets may have changed a lot since Lance and Kevin worked at the NYSE, there are plenty of timeless lessons in here for traders and investors, too.
Casting call(!) If you spent time on a trading floor or know someone who did, we’d love to hear from you for future episodes of Stories from the Floor - the new show from Maggie Lake that digs into the unvarnished truth of what it’s really like to work on a trading floor.
