to receive more efficient, higher quality executions with lower spreads. Average NYSE Historical Trading Volume “The recent slide reflects huge changes in the business of trading stocks. Electronic competitors to the NYSE have gained ground as big investors such as hedge funds have increasingly used computerized strategies that rely on quick execution of buy and sell orders, especially in heavily traded stocks or when news affects a company's stock price. In those situations, the NYSE's human traders sometimes can't keep up”. Wall Street Journal; November 29, 2005 "Trading on the floor today...is so different," says Jamie Selway, head of White Cap Trading, a New York brokerage firm. Just a few years ago, he says, "inertia" kept trades flowing to the NYSE floor, but those orders are now "portable" and can go anywhere.

The Hybrid Market allows the Specialist to Remain in a Privileged Position Power to view incoming orders before the public Only person to have access to reserve, discretionary and hidden orders Trading in their proprietary account without interacting with public orders Institutional Investors still have many concerns about the Hybrid Proposal Specialist is still in a privileged position against public interest Confusion as to how investors will interact with the auction model, the hybrid and Arca Best execution requirements Unproven technology “Why were specialists the big winners here?” asked George Rutherfurnd, a Chicago based consultant to two trading organizations. “It appears that the NYSE somehow convinced the SEC staff that the NYSE specialist system would not be economically viable… unless specialists were given unimaginable competitive advantages to the detriment of the public orders”… “It‟s a classic deal with the devil”… “totally contradicts the original intent of the hybrid model”… “now basically foolish for us to post at the NYSE”. Trader‟s Magazine - June 2006 issue “The NYSE hybrid plan is an attempt to meet the demands of regulators and customers, but simultaneously provide for the needs of specialist member firms. Critics charge the NYSE decided, in the fifth amendment, to restore advantages of the specialists, who supposedly had complained after the first four amendments.” Trader‟s Magazine 2006 “..90 percent of our orders are placed electronically and, if we can't be treated fairly, then we will go to a place where electronic orders are treated fairly.” Michael Buek- Head Trader Vanguard “The hybrid market is a securities market disaster waiting to happen. Even putting aside issues of unfairness to the trading public (which IBAC is not prepared to do in regard to the ultimate shape of the hybrid market), we ask the Commission staff to envision the scenario in this country's securities markets if the technology fails in a fully implemented NYSE hybrid market environment. Much of the technology (specialists' algorithms, certain order types, broker technology) has not yet even been offered, let alone tested. That which has been tested has repeatedly failed.” .

The NASDAQ Stock Market, also known as the NASDAQ, is an American stock exchange. [2] "NASDAQ" originally stood for "National Association ofSecurities Dealers Automated Quotations". It is the second-largest stock exchange by market capitalization in the world, after the New York Stock [3] [4] Exchange. As of January 13, 2011, there are 2,872 listings. The NASDAQ has more trading [5] volume than any other electronic stock exchange in the world.

It was founded in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), who divested themselves of it in a series of sales in 2000 and 2001. It is owned and operated by the NASDAQ OMX Group, the stock of which was listed on its own stock exchange beginning July 2, 2002, under the ticker symbol NASDAQ: NDAQ. It is regulated by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). With the incomplete purchase of the Nordic-based operated exchange OMX, following its disagreement with Borse Dubai, NASDAQ is poised to capture 67% of the controlling stake in the aforementioned exchange, thereby inching ever closer to taking over the company and creating a trans-atlantic powerhouse. The group, now known as Nasdaq-OMX, controls and operates the NASDAQ stock exchange in New York City – the second largest exchange in

the United States. It also operates eight stock exchanges in Europe and holds one-third of the NASDAQ Dubai stock exchange. It has a double-listing agreement with OMX, and will compete with NYSE Euronext group in attracting new listings. When the NASDAQ stock exchange began trading on February 8, 1971, it was the world's first electronic stock market. At first, it was merely acomputer bulletin board system and did not actually connect buyers and sellers. The NASDAQ helped lower the spread (the difference between the bid price and the ask price of the stock) but somewhat paradoxically was unpopular among brokerages because they made much of their money on the spread. NASDAQ was the successor to the over-the-counter (OTC) system of trading. As late as 1987, the NASDAQ exchange was still commonly referred to as the OTC in media and also in the monthly Stock Guides issued by Standard & Poor's Corporation. Over the years, NASDAQ became more of a stock market by adding trade and volume reporting and automated trading systems. NASDAQ was also the first stock market in the United States to start trading online. Nobody before them had ever done this, highlighting NASDAQ-traded companies (usually in technology) and closing with the declaration that NASDAQ is "the stock market for the next hundred years." Its main index is the NASDAQ Composite, which has been published since its inception. However, its exchange-traded fund tracks the large-cap NASDAQ-100 index, which was introduced in 1985 alongside the NASDAQ 100 Financial Index. Until 1987, most trading occurred via the telephone, but during the October 1987 stock market crash, market makers often didn't answer their phones. To counteract this, the Small Order Execution System (SOES) was established, which provides an electronic method for dealers to enter their trades. NASDAQ requires market makers to honor trades over SOES. In 1992, it joined with the London Stock Exchange to form the first intercontinental linkage of securities markets. NASD spun off NASDAQ in 2000 to form a publicly traded company, the NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc.

In 2006 NASDAQ changed from stock market to licensed national exchange. On November 8, 2007, NASDAQ bought the Philadelphia Stock Exchange (PHLX) for US$652 million. PHLX is the oldest stock exchange in America—having been in operation since 1790. To qualify for listing on the exchange, a company must be registered with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), have at least three market makers (financial firms that act as brokers or dealers for specific securities) and meet minimum requirements for assets, capital, public shares, and shareholders. In February, 2011, in the wake of an announced merger of NYSE Euronext with Deutsche Börse, speculation developed that Nasdaq and IntercontinentalExchange (ICE) could mount a counter-bid of their own for NYSE. Nasdaq could be looking to acquire the American exchange's cash equities business, ICE the derivatives business. As of the time of the speculation, "NYSE Euronext’s market value was $9.75 billion. Nasdaq was valued at $5.78 billion, while ICE was valued at $9.45 billion."[6] Late in the month, Nasdaq was reported to be considering asking either ICE or the Chicago Merc to join in what would be probably have to be, if it proceeded, an $11-12 billion counterbid.[7] [edit]
