Do opportunities like this still exist on the street?

I'm not sure. Floor trading is pretty much dead these days although options (at least in the world of commodities) is still dominant on the floor. I'm pretty out of touch though and have been off the floor for 10 years now.

How do you get involved? Are you interested in an apprentice/analyst?

I answered a newspaper ad. Sorry, but I have no use for an apprentice/analyst. Most of the guys when I was starting out all worked their way up from clerk and runner jobs. But since the floor is basically gone that option no longer really exists.
