Today marks the 214th anniversary of those guys who gathered together under the Buttonwood Tree and started trading which led to the NYSE...And today the DJIA was down 214 points...Below is a little history for those not old enough to remember...One thing caught my eye though...As you may recall, Steckler is a Big Fan of http://Astrikos.com ...Well, maybe not a BIG fan...But we know he knows them...So are the stars controlling the market???
I noticed that one of the 24 (Just missing the 1 in between the 2 and the 4)Buttoneer's has a name similar to Steckler which I bolded below...Now we all know that over hundreds of years... surnames evolve...Is Dave really 214 years old???...Is he the missing 1???
The Buttonwood Agreement, which took place on May 17th, 1792, started the New York Stock & Exchange Board (now called the NYSE, which is short for New York Stock Exchange). This agreement was signed by twenty-four stock brokers outside of 68 Wall Street in New York under a Button Wood tree. The organization drafted its constitution on March 8th, 1817, and named itself the "New York Stock & Exchange Board". In 1863 this name was shortened to its modern form, "New York Stock Exchange". Membership on the NYSE has been held as a valuable property since 1868. These days, members must purchase existing seats--which are now limited to a total of 1,366. The Buttonwood agreement is honored by a regular online column written by the editors of The Economist newspaper. The 24 brokers who signed the Buttonwood Agreement were Leonard Bleecker , Hugh Smith , Armstrong & Barnewall , Samuel March , Bernard Hart , Alexander Zuntz , Andrew D. Barclay , Sutton & Hardy , Benjamin Seixas , John Henry , John A. Hardenbrook , Samuel Beebe , Benjamin Winthrop , John Ferrers , Ephraim Hart , Isaac M. Gomez , Gulian McEvers , Augustine H. Lawrence , G. N. Bleecker , John Bush , Peter Anspach , Charles McEvers, Jr. , David Reedy , Robinson & Hartshorne
