The NYSE trading floor has changed a lot since its peak in the 1980s, mainly due to advances in technology. While computers now handle most trades, there are still real people on the floor doing important work for investors around the world. What was it like to work on the floor in the '80s? "Crazy," if you ask TradeMas Inc. senior floor trader Peter Tuchman. "There were thousands and thousands of people," Tuchman told Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi. "It was open outcry auction market." More: https://lnkd.in/eyNmWb4A #yahoofinance #finance #trading #markets #money #investing

Here's a fun question for my LinkedIn network on a summer afternoon: Ever wondered where the terms Bull and Bear Market came from? They’re as much a part of our daily finance lingo as coffee is to our morning routine! ☕💼 Last week, I found myself in Amsterdam, face-to-face with a miniature bear and bull sculpture at a client's office, just like the ones (pictured) near Wall Street! 🐂🐻🗽 Here we were at the meeting, six financial professionals, with a combined experience of 75+ years, all stumped by this question! 😮💭 Yes, none of us knew the answer! The origin of these terms isn't tied to the brawn of these beasts. Nope! Instead, we have to take a time machine back 300+ years to uncover their roots. Would you have guessed it involves skin trading and a Pope? I promise we’re still talking finance here, and not an episode from an adventure movie! 😄 🎬🏴☠️ #FinancialTrivia #BullsAndBears #stockmarkets #stocks https://lnkd.in/euWTJzdK

Keith Gill May Have Resurrected the Criminal Art of Market Manipulation ******************** "After five short years, we may now need to be reminded what Wall Street was like before Uncle Sam stationed a policeman at its corner, lest, in time to come, some attempt be made to abolish that post." FERDINAND PECORA, lead prosecutor of the Stock Exchange Practices Hearings ******************** Keith Gill's latest gambit on Gamestop has landed him in some very hot water. Details are still emerging, but it's possible that he has shed his reputation as an annoying lottery winner masquerading as an investment genius in exchange for a criminal rap sheet as a market manipulator. Many retail investors applaud Mr. Gill, but this would be a grave misunderstanding of his harmful behavior. Market manipulation was outlawed with the passage of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This law was not designed to protect the stock operators of Wall Street; it was designed to protect the average investor. Prior to its passage, market manipulation was rampant on Wall Street. One of the more infamous manipulators was Jay Gould, and among his go to tactics was publishing his positions to pump up stocks or cause a sudden collapse in price depending on whether he was buying or shorting. Again, it is unclear whether Mr. Gill has entered the realm of criminal activity, but at a minimum, his behavior runs contrary to the spirit of U.S. securities laws. It is unsurprising, however, that he continues to push his luck. In 1914, Louis Brandeis wrote, "the weakness of human nature prevents men from being good judges of their own deservings." Mr. Gill appears to possess this human weakness in ample quantity, but he also possesses another. In the 1903 classic, "Letters from a Self-Made Merchant to His Son," George Lorimer cautioned that "when a speculator wins, he don't stop until he loses." Mr. Gill is not hero, and if he violated U.S. securities laws, he deserves to be punished accordingly. #sec #marketmanipulation #gamestop https://lnkd.in/duTWSCPr
