500 issues of Commodities/Futures

摘要

Anyone who has worked in the futures industry for any period of time knows that it is a pretty small world. This fact was brought home in researching the trader with the GCL badge who appeared on the first ever issue of Commodities magazine. According to CME Group, that trader is George C. Lang who, unfortunately, passed away in 2011. The name sounded familiar and in looking at his obituary I found out why: Lang had two sons, Mike and Dan, who also traded on the Chicago Board of Trade and cleared Merchants Trading Company, the first company I worked for in the business.
