Wall Street


Wall Street

Today, on the 4th day of our trip we visited the 9/11 Memorial. On our lunch break we decided to briefly visit the nearby Wall Street, as it was a place of high interest for me and my friends. The street was surprisingly narrow and bafflingly decorative neoclassical buildings towered over people walking down the street and cast shadow to buildings below. It was quite disappointing that it was a Saturday and the real time stock indexes weren’t shown on the screens as they are during trading sessions. Wall Street is home to two of the world’s biggest stock exchanges, calculated in market capitalization. The NYSE (New York Stock Exchange) which has an offering of more tangible firms such as construction and banking giants is physically located in Wall Street. The New York Nasdaq – the second biggest stock exchange – features more intangible and immaterial rights-dependent firms, such as the likes of Google and Facebook, and is only namely located in Wall street, as it is an online only marketplace. The Nasdaq is known for its growth stories that would make any 20th century financier flabbergasted.
