Thrusted into the fires of the market in 1997, Mr. Joyce endured the pangs of the LTCM and Asian contagion crises right out of the gates, as a youthful series 7 stockbroker. Men ran about clad in brown suits waiving pink tickets falling prey to what seemed like the ultimate collapse: screens festooned in red. Into the dot com ebulliency, young Mr. Joyce enjoyed early successes only to once again endure a most heinous market calamity, which persisted in earnest (double entendre alert!) until 2003.
