Jack Sandner, chairman of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange for most of the 1980s and 1990s, used to glory in showing VIPs and everyday visitors the colorful, chaotic trading floor he oversaw. He would call it “the cathedral of capitalism,” words spoken with gratitude and reverence.
But he also knew change was coming to his cathedral, and that it would have to adjust. He was involved in the first steps toward computerized trading that would change the character of futures trading, a core Chicago industry.
In 1997, he announced to the Chicago Sun-Times a revolutionary plan: allowing traders to use the internet to send orders for futures contracts directly to the trading floor. It would be a bracing new day for a business steeped in tradition, in the “open outcry” method of moving money with shouts and hand signals.
Wow. Seemed like we hadn’t seen this place in about a year.
And that would be absolutely true. We had not seen this place in a year. We’re talking about Carbondale. The home of the university where the two of us met. The home of the hospital where both of our kids were born. The home of many special memories for our family.seeing a president of the United States.a geology program for young people.a children’s choir.
We hadn’t been to Carbondale since sometime early in 2020. Seems there’s been a bit of a pandemic going on. And we’ve been trying to be cautious. Some say over cautious. Oh, well.
