At the very moment you're reading this, regardless of your time zone, Bill Lipschutz is most likely either trading or watching the markets. Should you be reading during the three to four (nonconsecutive) hours a day that his eyes are closed, he admittedly will be doing neither. He will, however, be dreaming about the currency markets.

His spacious Manhattan duplex is adorned with nearly a dozen state-of-the-art trading flat-screens, strategically placed throughout the rooms.
