8:30 AM, Broad St, across from NYSE

Across from the Exchange, just down the hill but above the Hermes store, there is a swanky apartment building with a very hip lobby in which there is a huge chandelier hung, ironically, just above the floor, asymmetrically off to the left. Other than the elegant chandelier it's all very modern and sleek.

This morning as I passed there were a pair of trader boys in stylish suits and some young lady clearly prostrate before the glamor of this foyer:

Her, with great feeling and no trace of irony: "It's so beautiful!"
One of the hims: "Yeah baby, check that out."

And you could tell this was very important to them.
