The best way to show someone you love them is to care for the people they love.

In this business, technology is life or death.

With management and employees on the same side of the table, your interests are aligned, and shareholders look at you as one.

I worked during summers on the foreign exchange desk as a dollar/yen broker for Noonan, Astley & Pierce. I used to write the chairman notes about how he could improve his business. And I met Bernie Cantor through this job.

I have great kids and family.

Athletics weren't really in the cards in my family - books, not body.

After Hurricane Sandy, we adopted 19 elementary schools in tough neighborhoods. We took each kid in those schools and gave the family a prepaid Visa card.

Personally, I find it odd that they would name it One World Trade Center. Frankly, I think if they named it any company name, I would think it was - you know, the memorial is beautiful, but I don't know why they don't change the name. That just seems so odd to me.

In 1997, clients balked at self-ordering. They thought it was beneath them. But in 1998, a sea change in perception came, thanks to the rise of the Net and online trading. The concept of doing it yourself was not crazy.

The idea that big buyside firms are going to come in and trade mano-a-mano with high-frequency trading firms shows a lack of knowledge of the business.

Haverford was there for me and taught me what it meant to be a human being.

The people in Washington spend too much time in Washington, so they think Washington-centric thoughts.
