Trading Floor at New York Stock Exchange

The New York Stock Exchange is very familiar on television and in the movies. Remember Gordon Gekko in Wall Street?

Thanks to these push of the media, the stocks exchange always gives way to images of a crowded room where hundreds of men and women shout and gesture to one another while they are on the mobile, watching the numerous monitors on the wall.

Endless input and encoding of data on their terminals, shouts of “sell” and “buy,” and when the crowd disperses, hundreds of small pieces of paper are left for the janitors to clean up.

Not only that, you would be left with images of Tom Hanks losing all of his money in Bonfire of the Vanities.
