When I first set foot on the floor of the NYSE, the atmosphere overwhelmed me. More importantly, I stumbled upon a broker who began explaining the strange numbers and symbols on each screen. I recollect him describing dividends, IPO’s, stock splits, and the differences between bear and bull markets. Prior to that conversation, I realized what I desired to do with the rest of my life.

In this chapter, we meet Dan Spivey. Dan is a forty something former trader who stumbled upon the realization that his phone line had as much or more to do with his stock trading as his experience and investment information did.

He mapped out a possible straight line from Chicago to New York in which fiber optic cables could be run to greatly shorten the signal delay between the two. He caught the interest of investors like the head of Netscape to make the line a reality and after many complications, went on line in 2010. The start up cost to join the line was 10.6 million and only 200 of the 400 brokers in Wall Street would have room on the line.
