Neal: You must get some interesting reactions from people here in Washington? |

C.V.: It's not a common profession. Most people consider it extremely risky. When I told friends and colleagues I was retiring from my law practice to become a futures trader, many were aghast. |

Neal: What I find so fascinating is that we are conducting an interview while you have 50 deutsche mark positions on. Each tick represents about $600.00. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
C.V.: My trades are long-term trends. I don't follow the markets tick by tick. |

Neal: As I look around your office, I don't see a television with 24-hour news. I don't even see a price screen. |

|
|
|
C.V.: I basically use the Internet to get price quotes. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Neal: Many of the quotes are delayed 10 minutes or more. |

C.V.: True, but when I need a real-time quote, such as right after a major report, I can get it through a dial-up service. |

|
Neal: You must have a lot of confidence in your trading system. |
