Worth noting from the interview above: Today’s event follows an industry-wide “Taste of New York” event that raised $1.7 million for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. That’s one day’s operating costs for the hospital, according to Joseph Mecane, who co-chairs the hospital’s Wall Street Committee and is an executive VP at NYSE Euronext. That’s why we appreciate your support for our Floor Broker Charity Trading Day or your other contributions to this worthy cause.
