to give preference to the other signers in securities sales. The earliest securities traded

NASDAQ Stock Market

History:The American Stock Exchange (AMEX) got its start in the 1800's and was known
as the "Curb Exchange" until 1921 because it met as a market at the curbstone on Broad
Street near Exchange Place. Its founding date is generally considered as 1921 because
this is the year when it moved into new quarters on Trinity. However, it wasn't until 1953
that it officially became the American Stock Exchange. In November 1998, the National
Association of Security Dealers announced that the American Stock Exchange would
