Quotron

It is astonishing.

Um, you know, as a, you know, I used to work on, I used to work on Wall Street, and I was used to the markets reacting on a hair trigger, and this was in the pre-internet internet age, you know, where you're working on a Quotron machine.

It was like ancient, a little LED display.

Here, you know, you have the information is incredibly, uh, you know, available quickly.

He'd meet with broadcasters, they'd complain about a competitor undercutting them, and Lynch would investigate the competitor and end up buying their stock instead.

And he had this Quotron machine, the early Bloomberg terminal, but it had a blank screen.

It only showed a price if you typed in the ticker.

And he preferred the blank screen.

I don't know.

I think they want my Quotron.

So I, it's probably where they're going

first.

Like I said the other day, that was like the first thing I thought of when that MetaMask news came out.

I'm like, ah, fuck.

I'm like, what am I gonna do about my Quotron?

Somewhere in North Korea, there's a poster on the wall that says Quotron's wanted.

Remember? Back then? Fax machines.

Quotron computers.

You went to someone's office.

Now you're not even dealing with a real person.

I walked over to back in that day in the dinosaur age.

It was a Quotron.

It was as simple as you can get screen that had some information on it.

I got back and I saw the stock was up a half a point.

But it was so complex and complicated that they couldn't figure it out.

And it took them many years to figure it out.

And once they did and brought Stratton down, eventually it came across that Quotron that Stratton has now been expelled from the Securities Exchange Commission and the NASD.

And it certainly looks to me, even though I'm quite inebriated 24-7, Certainly reads like we're out of business.
