What is the Difference Between the New York Stock Exchange and the NASDAQ?
The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is the largest and best known stock exchange in the world. In existence since 1972, the NYSE is located on Wall Street in New York, the unofficial financial capital of the world. The NASDAQ is a far more recent entity, having been founded as merely an electronic quotation system in 1971 as the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations.
