basically this. there has been no practical reason for these fags to be on the trading floor since computers gutted the open outcry market.

NYSE floor specialists are basically there for cameras to take pictures of them.

In the olden days they would make markets (buying at bid and selling at ask) for the pit traders, but there's no pit traders anymore and these guys barely do anything.

they just watch the market, and yes they are only used for stock photos but the stock market as a whole is billions of traders across the world on their computers/offices buying and selling. Even autistic neets on /biz/ are part of this trading.

but that's actually what makes them good at their job. A person of average intelligence is dull, and half the people are dumber than that. More importantly, the lower IQ you are the more susceptible you are to advertisements and marketing. Being a braindead normie is the perfect intelligence level to market things towards other braindead normies

I've done both and you definitely can work less than 3 hours a day in construction. A lot of hurry up an wait. Waiting on parts. Waiting on equipment.

Trading floors are basically like Vietnam war vet get-togethers where you do a photo op with geriatrics who regularly piss and shit themselves and forget who their family members are wearing their old uniform. It doesn't serve a purpose besides making you look good and making grandpa feel like he isn't completely worthless (he is)
