Big dogs


Some of you might recall Big Dogs shirts from the '80s and '90s, it was very much the leisurewear of suburban middle aged men then and still continues to churn out t-shirts with attitude.  Above is one such shirt from the late '90s that a reader submitted and although the vintage isn't exact, it would likely be from around 1997 when Big Dogs, Inc. had an IPO and the entire US was enraptured with stock trading.  Everything about this shirt is hilarious because it captures so many public stereotypes about traders:  pushing wimps around, loud gold watch, the Jim Cramer-ese sleeves rolled up, etc...  I could certainly see a retiree in suburban Virginia wearing it as his lucky shirt when buying Iomega options, calls natch, at the tail end of the millennium

Book notes


Been meaning to do it for a long time but finally got around to listing some additional book notes for Trading Pit Hand Signals.  Below is my first pass at it and I'll continue to add as much detail as possible going forward. The direct link at Scribd is here just incase the embed below has any issues.

The hardcover book is available from Amazon by clicking here and the e-book is available on Apple's Ibooks via the Itunes store by clicking here

If there are any additional questions which readers have about the book or any of the 400+ hand signals, send word and I'll add it to the notes.
