The NASDAQ Stock Market, also known as the NASDAQ, is an American stock

exchange. "NASDAQ" originally stood for "National Association of Securities Dealers

Automated Quotations".[2] It is the largest electronic screen-based equity securities
trading market in the United States and second-largest by market capitalization in
the world.[3] As of January 13, 2011, there are 2,872 listings. [4] The NASDAQ has more
trading volume than any other electronic stock exchange in the world.[5]

S&P 500
The S&P 500® has been widely regarded as the best single gauge of the large cap
U.S. equities market since the index was first published in 1957. The index has over
US$ 4.83 trillion benchmarked, with index assets comprising approximately US$ 1.1
trillion of this total. The index includes 500 leading companies in leading industries of
the U.S. economy, capturing 75% coverage of U.S. equities.

The S&P 500 is a free-float capitalization-weighted index published since 1957 of the
prices of 500 large-cap common stocks actively traded in the United States. The
stocks included in the S&P 500 are those of large publicly held companies that trade
on either of the two largest American stock market exchanges; the New York Stock
Exchange and the NASDAQ.

The index focus is U.S.-based companies although there are a few legacy companies
with headquarters in other countries.[1] Any new companies added to the index are
U.S. based, and, when a U.S. company shifts its headquarters overseas, it is replaced
by a U.S. company, as happened when Transocean moved from Houston to
Switzerland in 2008.[2]

After the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the S&P 500 is the most widely followed
index of large-cap American stocks. It is considered a bellwether for the American
economy, and is included in the Index of Leading Indicators. Many mutual funds,
exchange-traded funds, and other funds such as pension funds, are designed to track
the performance of the S&P 500 index. Hundreds of billions of US dollars have been
invested in this fashion.

The index is the best known of the many indices owned and maintained by Standard
& Poor's, a division of McGraw-Hill. S&P 500 refers not only to the index, but also to
the 500 companies that have their common stock included in the index. The ticker
symbol for the S&P 500 index varies. Some examples of the symbol are ^GSPC,[3]
.INX,[4] and $SPX.[5] The stocks included in the S&P 500 index are also part of the
broader S&P 1500 and S&P Global 1200 stock market indices

Sector Breakdown
(as of 28-Jan-2011)
The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is a stock exchange located at 11 Wall Street in
lower Manhattan, New York City, USA. It is the world's largest stock exchange by
market capitalization of its listed companies at US$13.39 trillion as of Dec 2010.[4]
Average daily trading value was approximately US$153 billion in 2008.

The NYSE is operated by NYSE Euronext, which was formed by the NYSE's 2007
merger with the fully electronic stock exchange Euronext. The NYSE trading floor is
located at 11 Wall Street and is composed of four rooms used for the facilitation of
trading. A fifth trading room, located at 30 Broad Street, was closed in February
2007. The main building, located at 18 Broad Street, between the corners of Wall
Street and Exchange Place, was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1978,[5]
as was the 11 Wall Street building.[3][6][7]

The New York Stock Exchange (sometimes referred to as "the Big Board") provides a
means for buyers and sellers to trade shares of stock in companies registered for
public trading. The NYSE is open for trading Monday through Friday between 9:30am
– 4:00pm ET, with the exception of holidays declared by the Exchange in advance.

On the trading floor, the NYSE trades in a continuous auction format, where traders
can execute stock transactions on behalf of investors. They will gather around the
appropriate post where a specialist broker, who is employed by an NYSE member
firm (that is, he/she is not an employee of the New York Stock Exchange), acts as an
auctioneer in an open outcry auction market environment to bring buyers and sellers
together and to manage the actual auction. They do on occasion (approximately 10%
of the time) facilitate the trades by committing their own capital and as a matter of
course disseminate information to the crowd that helps to bring buyers and sellers
together. The auction process moved toward automation in 1995 through the use of
wireless hand held computers (HHC). The system enabled traders to receive and
execute orders electronically via wireless transmission. On September 25, 1995, NYSE
member Michael Einersen, who designed and developed this system, executed 1000
shares of IBM through this HHC ending a 203 year process of paper transactions and
ushering in an era of automated trading.

As of January 24, 2007, all NYSE stocks can be traded via its electronic Hybrid Market
(except for a small group of very high-priced stocks). Customers can now send orders
for immediate electronic execution, or route orders to the floor for trade in the
auction market. In the first three months of 2007, in excess of 82% of all order
volume was delivered to the floor electronically.[16]

The right to directly trade shares on the exchange is conferred upon owners of the
1366 "seats". The term comes from the fact that up until the 1870s NYSE members
sat in chairs to trade. In 1868, the number of seats was fixed at 533, and this number
was increased several times over the years. In 1953, the exchange stopped at 1366
seats. These seats are a sought-after commodity as they confer the ability to directly
trade stock on the NYSE. Seat prices have varied widely over the years, generally
falling during recessions and rising during economic expansions. The most expensive
inflation-adjusted seat was sold in 1929 for $625,000, which, today, would be over six
million dollars. In recent times, seats have sold for as high as $4 million in the late
1990s and $1 million in 2001. In 2005, seat prices shot up to $3.25 million as the
exchange was set to merge with Archipelago and become a for-profit, publicly traded
company. Seat owners received $500,000 cash per seat and 77,000 shares of the
newly formed corporation. The NYSE now sells one-year licenses to trade directly on
the exchange.

[edit] NYSE Composite IndexIn the mid-1960s, the NYSE Composite Index (NYSE: NYA)
was created, with a base value of 50 points equal to the 1965 yearly close. This was
done to reflect the value of all stocks trading at the exchange instead of just the 30
stocks included in the Dow Jones Industrial Average. To raise the profile of the
composite index, in 2003 the NYSE set its new base value of 5,000 points equal to the
2002 yearly close.
风流女人的爱情资格论　　常有些女人被称为“风流女人
　　当然，当一个人在背后如此称呼她的时候，眼神里总有些不屑。
　　外人会这样说：“那样的女人，总是玩来玩去。当不得真的。”
　　但“风流女人”本人会喊冤：“才不是！我何尝不想安安定定地过日子！奈何，总遇
不上安定的男人！
　　这不是假话。
　　女人，风流也好，本分也罢，无不渴望最终一个归宿。一纸婚书拿到手上，那是一口
长舒气：呼，从此后，总算不用再浓妆艳抹！总算可以洗尽铅华做人妇了！
　　风流女人的心，你懂了吗
　　风流，不单单是为了自娱，也是为了能更宽地拓展交际圈，从中挑到不错的男人。你
认为风流女人一直在游戏，其实风流的女人也是一直在寻找，寻找一个能够让她安定下来
的归宿。
　　但遗憾的是：她希望自己是男人停泊的港，但男人总把她当成走过的桥。
　　没办法，面对风流女人，再老实巴交的男人也多出了几分放荡——男人女人走情场，
恐被人耻笑，无不想跟上对方的步调！
　　当然，也许这步调适合你，也许这步调不适合你，那则是后话了。
　　足可见，爱的后遗症，不仅仅是数得过来的那几种。另外有一种，叫做——想爱的时
候，别人会说：“你没资格去爱！”
　　前生五百次的凝眸，换今生一次的擦肩。
　　这是一句恋爱男女人人熟稔的经典爱情佛语。
　　这佛语出自一个婉转动人的故事：
　　曾经有个女孩，漂亮出众，未婚待嫁。媒婆后脚赶前脚一茬一茬地来提亲，但她咬紧
了牙关不肯松口应承。
　　她心里，有个男孩。
　　庙会时她跟他擦肩，随后又看着他消失在拥挤的人潮中。虽然只有匆匆一瞥，但在她
心里，已是世世难忘的惊鸿！
　　女孩一直在寻找，她每天向佛祖祈祷，希望能再见到他。
　　诚心感动上天，佛祖显灵了。
　　女孩央求佛祖：“请让我再度见到他，哪怕仅仅是再看他一眼！”
　　佛祖：“可以，但这需要你放弃现在的一切，苦心修炼五百年。你吃得了这苦头吗”
　　女孩：“能！”
　　于是，女孩变成了一块大石，在荒郊野外，风吹日晒，历经四百余年，苦不堪言。但
始终不见他的影子。
　　第五百年，女孩被石匠运进了城里，做了石桥的护栏。
　　也就是那一天，她看见了他，自己等了五百年的男人！
　　当然，他并未注意到她，毕竟，一块桥石有什么好看！
　　他匆匆而去，她喊不出声音，留不住他的脚步。
　　佛祖出现了。
　　女孩：“我还希望能摸到他！”
　　佛祖：“那得继续修炼五百年！”
　　女孩：“我愿意！”
　　于是，女孩又变成了一棵大树，在人来人往的大道上，天天观望，期待他再来……=
　　又是一个五百年！在第一千年的这天，女孩知道他会来了，但心已然不再激动。
　　这一次，他没有匆匆走过，暑天人乏，他走到大树下，倚着树干，微微地闭上了双眼
他睡着了。
　　她摸到他了！他就靠在她的身边！
　　但是，她依旧无法开口诉说这千年的相思。
　　小睡片刻，男人起身前行，再一次头也不回地走掉了。
　　佛祖再次出现。
　　这一次女孩没有提要求。
　　佛祖：“是不是还想做他的妻子”
　　女孩：“是很想，但是不必了。”
　　佛祖：“为何”
　　女孩：“爱他，不一定要做他的妻子。”
　　佛祖：“哦！”
　　女孩：“他现在的妻子也像我这样受过苦吗”
　　佛祖微微地点点头。
　　女孩：“我能做到，但是不必了。”
　　佛祖轻轻地松了一口气。
　　女孩诧异：“佛祖也有心事”
　　佛祖笑了：“有个男孩可以少等一千年了，为了能够看你一眼，他已经修炼了两千
年。”　　五百年一次回眸，一千年一次感受。
　　有人说“值得”，有人说“不值”。　　但尘世间，最让人执著的，永远是一个
“爱”字
　　遇上了，是尘世间的缘分。分开了，不必再强求缘分的延续。
　　爱情，应该坚持。爱情，不该执迷。太挣扎地去追求一份爱的结果，往往最终抓到的
是空。今天，你该想想：那些与爱有关的事，我该如何取舍

Qualifications of a woman's love, romantic

Some women are often referred to as "romantic woman."
Of course, when a person behind the so called her, eyes always some disdain.
Outsiders will say: "that the woman, always play to play. When not true."
But "The Merry woman" I will cry foul: "No! Did I do not want to be given to live in peace!
Nonetheless, the event is not on the stability of total man!"
This is not a lie.
Woman, Merry Ye Hao, sub worth mentioning, all eager to end a home. Hands to get a marriage
certificate, it is a long-Shu Qi: call, since then, finally no longer need makeup! Finally a woman a
man can Xijinqianhua!
Merry woman's heart, do you understand
Merry, not just for myself and others, but also wider in order to expand the communication
circle, from which to pick a good man. Do you think a woman has been in the game Merry, Merry
fact, the woman is always looking to find a stable down to her destination.
Unfortunately: She wants a man parked here, but man always walked her as a bridge.
No way, the face of romantic woman, and then humble man also a bit more loose - men and
women walk in love, fear of being laughed at, no do not want to keep up with the pace of each
other!

Of course, maybe that pace for you, maybe this step is not for you, that is after the speech.
Can obviously see, love's complications, not just the few that count them. There is another, called
- like love, others will say: "You're not qualified to love!"
Gazing past lives five hundred times, once for life rubbing shoulders.
This is a love for all men and women familiar with the classic words of love Buddha.
This phrase comes from a mildly touching the Buddha's story:
There was a girl, pretty outstanding, unmarried to be married. Matchmaker crop of crop of front
foot to back foot drive to propose marriage, but she refused to relent promise clenched teeth.
She thought, there was a boy.
Temple, she rubbed shoulders with him and later watched him disappear in a crowded place.
Although only a glance, but in her heart, is fleeting memorable ages!
Girls have been looking for, she prayed to the Buddha, hoping to see him again.

Sincerely touched by God, manifestation of the Buddha.

The girl begged the Buddha: "Please let me see him again, even just look at him!"
Buddha: "Yes, but all you need to give up now, painstaking practice five years. Do you eat this
bitterness"
Girl: "Can!"
So, the girl turned into a boulder in the wilderness, wind and sun, after four hundred years of
miserable. But in vain for his shadow.
The fifth century, girls were brought into the city mason, made stone railing.
That is, that day, she saw him that he waited five years man!
Of course, he did not notice her, after all, what a beautiful stone bridge!
He hurried away, she cried no sound, unable to retain his footsteps.
Buddha appeared.
Girl: "I want to touch him!"
Buddha: "It may continue to practice five hundred years!"
Girl: "I am willing!"
So, the girl has turned into a big tree, on the road in the coming and going every day watching,
expecting him to come back ... ...
Another five hundred years! In the first years of this day, the girl knew he would come, but the
heart is already no longer excited.
This time, he did not rush through it, people lack hot summer day, he walked under a tree,
leaning against the trunk, slightly closed his eyes, he fell asleep.

She touched him! He leaned against her side!

However, she still can not speak to tell the thousands of Acacia.
Nap, the men got up and forward, never looking back once again gone.
Buddha again.
This time the girl did not mention the request.
Buddha: "Is it still wanted his wife"
Girl: "would like very much, but do not have the."=
Buddha: "Why"
Girl: "love him, his wife does not do."
Buddha: "Oh!"
Girl: "He is now the wife also suffered for you as I do"
Buddha nodded slightly.
Girl: "I can do, but do not have the."
Buddha gently sigh of relief.
Girl surprised: "Buddha is also mind"

Buddha smiled: "A little boy can wait a thousand years, to be able to look at you, he has two
years practice."
Looking back five hundred years time, a feeling of a thousand years.
Some people say, "worth it", someone says "worth."
But the earth, the most dedicated people, will always be a "love."
Met, is the earthly fate. Separated, no longer insist on the continuation of fate.
Love, should be upheld.
Love, should not indulge.
Too struggle to pursue a love of the result, often end up caught is empty.
Today, you should think about: love and the things that, how do I choose ... ...
