Good point brownsfan. Be prepared for the unexpected. During the credit crisis, I saw many senior traders sweating their balls off as they could not believe prices could drop so low. The best injstituional traders I met always hedged their positions during these times in case something unexpected and unfavorable happens.
Our entire office has been filled with us yelling, banging mouses, tables, kicking chairs, etc.

There were guys coming in for interviews as we are there screaming every type of swear word that comes to mind.

Bring your A-Game.
