RHONDA SCHAFFLER, CNN FINANCIAL NEWS: What I am trying to do is to make sense out of moves that sometimes don't make sense on face value.

(</s>BEGIN VIDEO CLIP, MARCH 16, 1999) SCHAFFLER: Dow 10000, three points away, it is getting noisy on this floor.</s>SCHAFFLER: There is always a lot of news, and we are just trying to decipher what is most interesting, and which stocks are really moving on it.</s>ROMANS: We are talking to traders on the floor. We are following all of the wires. We are making calls to analysts and to companies</s>SCHAFFLER: I get my information from talking to as many people as I can, and trying to read every piece of information I can get my hands on about the market.</s>ROMANS: It's controlled chaos. There is this constant rush of air as people are flowing by, running and screaming, and running to a post and trying to get a trade in. We try, in particular, not to talk up a market or talk down a market, but really be the voice of reason amid an awful lot of chaos that is going on there. It is a very interesting job.
