Installed in Carlin’s offices, the RBC people were soon gathered to hear a state-of-the-financial-markets address given by Frommer. He stood in front of a flat panel computer monitor that hung on his wall.
“He gets up and says the markets are now all about speed,” says Brad. “ ‘Trading is all about speed.’ And then he says, ‘I’m going to show you how fast our system is.’ He had this guy next to him with a computer keyboard. He said to him, ‘Enter an order!’ And the guy hit Enter. And the order appeared on the screen so everyone could see it. And Frommer goes, ‘See! See how fast that was!!!’ ” All the guy had done was type the name of a stock on a keyboard, and the name was displayed on the screen, the way a letter, once it has been typed, appears on a computer screen. “Then he goes, ‘Do it again!’ And the guy hits the Enter button on the keyboard again. And everyone nods. It was five in the afternoon. The market wasn’t open; nothing was happening. But he was like, ‘Oh my God, it’s happening in real time!’
