What is the American Stock Exchange?

The US Stock Exchange (Amex), which became the exchange of NYSE AMEX shares in 2008, was the historically third largest stock exchange in the US. Exchange based in New York processes almost 10 percent of national shares, commodities and securities through several hundred companies listed on the stock exchange. The US Stock Exchange was usually perceived by some smaller businesses. Since the regulations and requirements of the US Stock Exchange were historically less strict than other stock exchanges, such as the New York Stock Exchange or Nasdaq, smaller organizations were able to mention their companies as public offers if they were otherwise excluded.

The American Stock Exchange follows its roots until the beginning of the 18th century, when new businesses were excluded from larger stock exchanges due to strict mandates and regulations. For example, many companies and organizations were obliged to issue at least 100 shares or trade in the main stock exchange organizations. Smaller businesses and corporations that began to appear in oil and manufacturing diameterLu at the beginning of the 19th century, were able to publicly trade shares through individual brokers who carried out shares auctions in the streets. This allowed smaller businesses to expand and use the income brought through the sale of shares if they would otherwise be excluded on other stock exchanges.

At the beginning of the 20th century, efforts to consolidate and organize street trading were developed. One man, Emanuel Mendels, was particularly helpful in this business. In 1908 he founded a New York curb, renamed the US Securities Stock in 1953. New York Curb Exchange declared the rules and regulations for stock shops, adding the legitimacy and credibility of this alternative exchange. The US Stock continued to operate an independent exchange in the 20th century.

In 2008, the US Stock Exchange merged with the NYSE Euronext group. This Burz Group offers services of global municipalityRemoves and stock organizations by combining New York Stock Exchange and Euronext. The merger consolidated the main global markets into one united exchange system. The former American Stock Exchange now operates on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange called NYSE AMEX EQUITES EXCHANGE, the subsection of the NYSE Euronext group.
