Subject: NYSE

The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is a stock exchange located at 11 Wall Street in lower Manhattan, New York City, New York, USA. It is the world’s largest stock exchange by market capitalization of its listed companies at US$28.5 trillion as of May 2008.
The NYSE is operated by NYSE Euronext, which was formed by the NYSE’s 2007 merger with the fully electronic stock exchange Euronext. The NYSE trading floor is located at 11 Wall Street and is composed of four rooms used for the facilitation of trading. A fifth trading room, located at 30 Broad Street, was closed in February 2007. The main building, located at 18 Broad Street, between the corners of Wall Street and Exchange Place, was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1978, as was the 11 Wall Street building.

Stockbrokers lose clout

The rise of demutualized stock exchanges

Most Exchanges Are Now Floorless

Securities exchanges are being transformed from “stockbrokers’ clubs” into profit-oriented companies selling services to customers. Long the ‘masters of the universe’, stockbrokers are expected to become less influential. Free from the constraints of small broker-dealers, demutualized exchanges are in the midst of rapid modernization and dramatic change. Computerized trading, book-entry settlement, central depositories, and cross-border exchanges are now the norm, not the exception.

Questionable SIPC Guarantees?

Will your assets survive an atomic blast?

Will this protect you?

Millions have brokerage accounts with SIPC protection and think this means they have government insurance of up to $500,000 on securities in custody with a broker-dealer, plus $100,000 on cash balances — similar to the FDIC guarantee on bank accounts.

In this, millions of investors are mistaken.

US equities

Stock values and cash dividends wither

Wall Street ballyhoo and flim-flam to the contrary, the year 2005 closed-out half a decade of misery and pain for the average investor in US equities. Average cash dividend yields never surpassed 3.8% during the period, and most of this was consumed by taxes and management expenses of the open-end mutual funds. More ...
