Message: [QUOTE="OttoinGrotto, post: 4504800, member: 297"] Me too! Super surreal experience. Edited to add: I actually have a cool story to tell. So my company is going public, and I happen to be with our CEO in an elevator up to the show floor. And the guy taking our group up there says to my CEO "Ok, you need to do a good job ringing the bell. The traders will judge you if you don't, and people mess it up all the time. You can't just quick press the button, you need to hold it down." So my CEO gets a little nervous and asks "Hold it down? Like, for how long?" And the guy says "Give it a good three count." And my CEO says "like one Miss'ippi?" And the guy says "Exactly. Like one Miss'ippi." Even said it that way and everything. They were both stone faced to each other the whole time. Deadly serious. Our CEO did just fine. Solid bell ringing. People don't realize you push a button to ring the bell, but at least that's how it worked when we did it. [/QUOTE]
