It was an unusually calm atmosphere at Stratton Oakmont this morning. It was still early, with few people there.

This was a stark contrast to the usual circus going on, the masses of brokers yelling into phones and headsets while other various debaucheries went on in the background.

Donnie was one of the few people already there, and for once, Donnie was still sober, and not making a bunch of noise. He was just eating some greasy sandwich while reading numbers.
