Web Beacons

NYSE employs a software technology that serves as a web tracking device to collect certain information about traffic to the NYSE web sites. This device is classified as a "web beacon" by the Network Advertising Initiative, which means that the scope of its collection is restricted to web site traffic data. It is similar in function to cookies. The main difference between cookies and web beacons is that web beacons are invisible on the page and are much smaller, about the size of the period at the end of this sentence. A P3P-compliant JavaScript cookie is set and collected by the tracking device to allow for differentiation between visitors to the sites. This data is used for tracking and reporting aggregate usage patterns on the web sites but does not include any personally identifiable information about individual visitors.

Cookies

There is a technology called "cookies" which can be used by a website to enable its users to store tailored information from the website. A cookie can be sent to your browser, which may then store it on your system. Some NYSE pages use cookies so that we can better serve you when you return to our Web site. A cookie does not retrieve any other data from your hard drive or capture or store your e-mail address. You can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether to accept it. You may continue browsing our site even if you decide not to accept the cookie

Personal Information - Collection and Use

In general, you can visit the NYSE Web site without telling us who you are or revealing any personal information about yourself.
Personally

The choice of whether to and how much personally identifiable information you provide to NYSE is left completely to you and is voluntary. There are times when we may need information from you, such as your name, mailing address or e-mail address. You will be asked to supply that information voluntarily. Some examples of when we may need information are if you choose to purchase a product or service directly from a NYSE Web site, if you use the “Contact Us” feature, to receive invoices from us by e-mail or to use the "Your Portfolio" personal stock tracker or to contact us about our website or services. In addition, we collect non-public personal information from applications or other forms that you submit to us, and from your transactions with us, our affiliates, or others, and from consumer reporting agencies. Except when required to do so by law, we do not share any of the personal information you provide to us with any third party other than service providers of ours who assist us in providing the information and/or services we are providing to you and who need to know the information in order to verify or fulfill your transactions with us, in accordance with our agreements with those service providers, which agreements state that the service provider agrees to comply with our privacy standards as described in this privacy policy. We will not sell, rent, lend or give your personally identifiable information to or share it with any other company or third party agency, except as permitted or required by law.
NYSE maintains physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to guard your nonpublic, personally identifiable information. This includes, among other things, using encryption technology for credit card data used in e-commerce transactions. However, NYSE cannot guarantee that any information is totally secure because of the nature of the Internet. You acknowledge and agree that NYSE is not responsible for any use of personal information by websites you reach via a link on this Web site.

Children's Privacy (Age 12 and Under), And Note to Parents and Caregivers

NYSE takes children's privacy seriously. We recognize that children’s use of the Internet and E-mail raise special concerns regarding privacy and security of information.
It is our intention to adhere to the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act and its rules on collecting personal information from minors. We remind and encourage all parents, caregivers and guardians to check and monitor their children’s online activities. Help us protect the privacy of your children by ensuring that they never send E-mail or submit personal information on this Web site or any other web site without your permission.
NYSE does not seek to collect personal information about children through its Web site. NYSE does not condition a child's participation in an activity on the disclosure of more personal information than is reasonably necessary to participate in the activity.
If we become aware that a person submitting personal information to us through any part of our Web site is a child, we delete the information as soon as we discover it and do not use it for any purpose, nor do we disclose it to third parties.
Since we do not seek to collect any personal information about children, and we delete any information collected inadvertently as soon as we discover that a child has submitted it, we typically retain no information about children that could be reviewed or deleted. If a parent requests review or deletion of information about their child before we have discovered and deleted the information, then we will of course honor that request. Please send your request to:itlaw@nyx.com
NYSE provides links to third party web sites, however, we are not responsible for those sites, their content or privacy policies. We advise you to check their privacy policies as well.

In general, IP addresses (the Internet address of a computer) are logged to track a user's session while the user remains anonymous.

This anonymous information about your session or about you may be collected by technology such as, “cookie” and “web beacons”.

There is one large bell in each of the four trading areas of the NYSE. The bells are operated synchronously from a single control.
Click the picture to hear "The Bell®."
(87K wav file)
The bells, measuring 18 inches in diameter, were manufactured by the G. S. Edwards Company of Norwalk, Connecticut. In the late 1980s, the NYSE decided to refurbish the bells and have an extra bell made as a back up. However, it was discovered that bells as large and loud as The Exchange's were no longer made by Edwards or any other bell company. Edwards agreed to make a special replica for the NYSE and brought employees out of retirement to handle the job.While this was being done, an older, larger bell was discovered in a crawl space above the main trading floor. Measuring 24 inches in diameter, this 1903 bell had most likely been put away because it was too loud, even for the New York Stock Exchange. After being cleaned and refurbished, this giant bell was toned down. It now gleams on a platform above the trading floor, ready for use should it ever be called into action.

The Bell

One of the most familiar features of the New York Stock Exchange is the loud, distinctive Trading Floor bell. "THE OPENING BELLSM" signals the beginning of trading each business day and "THE CLOSING BELL®" signals the ending of trading each business day.Bells were introduced when continuous trading was instituted in the 1870s. Originally, a Chinese Gong was used, but brass bells have been used since The Exchange moved to its current location in 1903.There is one large bell in each of the four trading areas of the NYSE.

Constant Growth and Change

Much has changed since 1903, yet the NYSE has always kept pace with member and investor need for trading space and the latest technology.
Some of the most significant changes include:
1922: The 11 Wall Street building, designed by Trowbridge & Livingston to harmonize with the existing building, opens. It includes a 23-story office building and an addition to the trading floor named the "Garage."
1969: A third trading room, the "Blue Room," is opened to meet the demands of increased volume. It increases the size of overall trading space by 20 percent and features the latest technologies.
1988: The "Blue Room" is expanded, creating the "Extended Blue Room" or "EBR." The Blue Room and Extended Blue Room are closed in November 2007.
2000: A fifth trading room located at 30 Broad Street opens. It features redesigned straight-line trading posts and the latest market-information display technology. This trading room is closed in February 2007.

Integrity Above All

The great figural sculptures on the NYSE building’s façade are among the building’s most recognizable and photographed features.
In 1903, John Quincy Adams Ward, a prolific and well-known American sculptor, designed the pediment.
Entitled “Integrity Protecting the Works of Man,” the classical design depicts the 22 foot figure of Integrity in the center, with Agriculture and Mining to her left and Science, Industry and Invention on her right, representing the sources of American prosperity. The waves on either extreme of the pediment symbolize the ocean-to-ocean influence of the Exchange.
In 1936, due to the combined effects of the statuary’s weight—90 tons—together with the ravages of pollution and flaws in the marble, the Exchange replaced the marble figures with lead-coated replicas weighing only 10 tons.

From Design to Reality

May 1, 1901: The demolition of the old building at 10 Broad Street begins. The construction of the new building, which will occupy that site as well as newly-purchased land to the immediate north and south, is slated to take just one year and cost $1 million.
September 9, 1901: The cornerstone for the new building is laid. A copper box is placed within the cornerstone filled with documents and mementos representative of the NYSE’s history.
Demolition problems with removing the old building and vaults, labor issues, and design changes cause delays and increase costs. But the approximately $4 million final cost is explained by R.H.Thomas, chairman of the Building Committee: “Where so many of our members spend the active years of their lives, they are entitled to the best that architectural ingenuity and engineering skill can produce.”
April 22, 1903: The new Exchange building at 18 Broad Street opens to fanfare and festivity. It’s recognized from the first as an example of masterful architecture. The six massive Corinthian columns across its Broad Street façade impart a feeling of substance and stability and, to many, it seems the very embodiment of the nation’s growth and prosperity.

The New York Stock Exchange Building

As the 20th century dawned, the NYSE was firmly established as one of America’s preeminent financial institutions. It was also experiencing a sustained rise in trading volume. Trading in listed stocks had tripled between 1896 and 1899. It would nearly double again by 1901.
More space was clearly needed. So the Exchange invited eight of New York City’s leading architects to join in a competition to design a grand new building. Their instructions: The trading floor was to have more space, more light, and more convenience for the transaction of business.
The Exchange chose the neoclassic design of architect George B. Post. Today, the Exchange building is considered one of Post’s masterpieces and is a New York City and national landmark.

NYSE Euronext Merger

The historic combination of NYSE Group and Euronext in 2007 marked a milestone for global financial markets. It brought together major marketplaces across Europe and the United States whose histories stretch back more than four centuries. The combination was by far the largest of its kind and the first to create a truly global marketplace group.
Discover how NYSE Euronext grew to become the global marketplace of today.

History Stock Exchange

The New York Stock Exchange traces its origins to 1792, when 24 New York City stockbrokers and merchants signed the Buttonwood Agreement. This agreement set in motion the NYSE’s unwavering commitment to investors and issuers.
Now NYSE Euronext welcomes the historic American Stock Exchange into the world’s largest and most liquid exchange group.
Originally called the "curb market" because its brokers traded outdoors in the street, the Amex has been at the forefront of the U.S. financial markets over the course of two centuries.

Our history stock exchang

The London Stock Exchange is one of the world’s oldest stock exchanges and can trace its history back more than 300 years. Starting life in the coffee houses of 17th century London, the Exchange quickly grew to become the City’s most important financial institution. Over the centuries following, the Exchange has consistently led the way in developing a strong, well-regulated stock market and today lies at the heart of the global financial community.We are proud of our long history that has helped to build our reputation today. Here are some of the milestones in the story of the London Stock Exchange.1698John Castaing begins to issue “at this Office in Jonathan’s Coffee-house” a list of stock and commodity prices called “The Course of the Exchange and other things”. It is the earliest evidence of organised trading in marketable securities in London.1698Stock dealers are expelled from the Royal Exchange for rowdiness and start to operate in the streets and coffee houses nearby, in particular in Jonathan’s Coffee House in Change Alley.1720The wave of speculative fever known as the “South Sea Bubble” bursts.1748Fire sweeps through Change Alley, destroying most of the coffee houses. They are subsequently rebuilt.1761A group of 150 stock brokers and jobbers form a club at Jonathan's to buy and sell shares.1773The brokers erect their own building in Sweeting’s Alley, with a dealing room on the ground floor and a coffee room above. Briefly known as “New Jonathan’s”, members soon change the name to “The Stock Exchange”.1801On 3 March, the business reopens under a formal membership subscription basis. On this date, the first regulated exchange comes into existence in London, and the modern Stock Exchange is born.
