A funny story:
Because Access was up 75 cents last night, Nymex made a trading limit of
unchanged to +150. After 20 minutes of trading, we were at unchanged and the
exchange stopped trading for an hour.
Rappaport, the exchange president, was standing by to make sure everything
was orderly. Obviously, the locals weren't too happy about the exchange
closing. One yelled at Rappaport...
"Why don't you take your million dollar bonus and go buy Enron stock"
