In a trading era long gone, the Exchange had introduced a new functionality to match the times - auctions. Yet, their operation was guided by draconic laws, taxing every step and punishing foolish traders who would wish to cancel auctions prematurely.

Yet, to this day, I remember him stating "it was pretty funny though".
