It’s not that often I get an invite to an event at the NYSE and a chance to see the closing bell from the floor.  We were there for a presentation on ACE Portal, which was short and sweet to make sure we all got downstairs for the 4 pm bell.  There is not all that much shouting, with paper tickets being thrown around.  Not like in the old Wall Street movies from the 80s.  It’s very electronic, with lots of screens, some traders in blue jackets.  And a big CNBC area.   I did manage to see Sara Eisen (ex-Bloomberg reporter) reporting from the floor.  I wonder if I’d look like a better version of Jill or just a really made up Jill with all of that makeup and hair help.
