So, you were either in the USA or East Asia, wern't you? I guess you were not in Europe.

Yes, I'm in NYC. I was typically at work for the european and US market hours during earnings season.

EU labor laws don't actually prevent those hours, if that's what you're implying. Most of my banking buddies in Europe work 70 hours.
