Malestar De La Globalizacion

La Bolsa de Nueva York (New York Stock Exchange, NYSE, en inglés) es el mayor mercado de valores del mundo en volumen monetario y el primero en número de empresas adscritas. Su volumen en acciones fue superado por la del NASDAQ [1] durante los años 90, pero el capital de las compañías listadas en la NYSE es cinco veces mayor que en el NASDAQ. La Bolsa de Nueva York cuenta con un volumen anual de transacciones de 21 mil millones de dólares, incluyendo los 7,1 billones de compañías no estadounidenses.

Sus antecedentes se remontan a 1792, cuando 24 comerciantes y corredores de Nueva York firmaron el acuerdo conocido como "Buttonwood Agreement", en el cual se establecían reglas para comerciar con acciones.

Fue creada en 1817, cuando un grupo de corredores de bolsa se organizó formando un comité llamado "New York Stock and Exchange Board" (NYS&EB) con la finalidad de poder controlar el flujo de acciones que, en aquellos tiempos, era negociado libremente y principalmente en la acera de Wall Street.

En 1863 cambió de nombre por el de "New York Stock Exchange" (NYSE), nombre que conserva hasta nuestros días, y se establece en Wall Street esquina con Broad Street dos años después.

En 1918, después de la Primera Guerra Mundial, se convierte en la principal casa de bolsa del mundo, dejando atrás a la Bolsa de Londres.

El jueves 24 de octubre de 1929, llamado a partir de entonces el Jueves Negro, se produjo una de las más grandes caídas en esta bolsa, que produciría la recesión económica más importante de los Estados Unidos en el siglo XX, la "Gran Depresión".

Actualmente es administrada por el NYSE Group, que fue formado con la fusión de NYSE y Archipielago Holdings, una bolsa electrónica de valores. NYSE Group cotiza actualmente en su propia bolsa de valores.

En 2007 formó junto a la bolsa europea Euronext: NYSE Euronext.

The New York Stock Exchange, commonly referred to as the NYSE and ocassionaly as the "Big Board"[4], is a stock exchange located at 11 Wall Street, Lower Manhattan, New York City, New York, United States. It is by far the world's largest stock exchange by market capitalization of its listed companies at US$14.242 trillion as of Dec 2011.[5] Average daily trading value was approximately US$153 billion in 2008.

The NYSE is operated by NYSE Euronext (NYSE: NYX), 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,[6] as was the 11 Wall Street building.[

The origin of the NYSE can be traced to May 17, 1792, when the Buttonwood Agreement was signed by 24 stockbrokers outside of 68 Wall Street in New York under a buttonwood tree on Wall Street.[9] On March 8, 1817, the organization drafted a constitution and renamed itself the "New York Stock & Exchange Board." Anthony Stockholm was elected the Exchange's first president.

The first central location of the Exchange was a room, rented in 1792 for $200 a month, located at 40 Wall Street. After that location was destroyed in the Great Fire of New York in 1835, the Exchange moved to a temporary headquarters. In 1863, the New York Stock & Exchange Board changed to its current name, the New York Stock Exchange. In 1865, the Exchange moved to 10–12 Broad Street.

The New York Stock Exchange was closed for ten days starting September 20, 1873, because of the Panic of 1873.[10]

The volume of stocks traded increased sixfold in the years between 1896 and 1901, and a larger space was required to conduct business in the expanding marketplace.[11] Eight New York City architects were invited to participate in a design competition for a new building; ultimately, the Exchange selected the neoclassic design submitted by architect George B. Post. Demolition of the Exchange building at 10 Broad Street, and adjacent buildings, started on May 10, 1901.

The main façade featuring six tall columns with Corinthian capitals

The new building, located at 18 Broad Street, cost $4 million and opened on April 22, 1903. The trading floor, at 109 × 140 feet (33 × 42.5 m), was one of the largest volumes of space in the city at the time, and had a skylight set into a 72-foot (22 m)-high ceiling. The main façade of the building features six tall columns with Corinthian capitals, topped by a marble pediment containing high-relief sculptures by John Quincy Adams Ward with the collaboration of Paul Wayland Bartlett, carved by the Piccirilli Brothers, representing Integrity Protecting the Works of Man. The building was listed as a National Historic Landmark and added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 2, 1978.[12]

NYSE Composite Index

In the mid-1960s, the NYSE Composite Index (NYSE: NYA) was created, with a base value of 50 points equal to the 1965 yearly close.[25] This was done to reflect the value of all stocks trading at the exchange instead of just the 30 stocks included in the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
