Where Are Your Securities Being Traded?

 
When you buy and sell stock through your broker, you never give a second thought to where the securities are being traded. Unless you’re a professional or an institution such as a mutual fund management company. Ordinarily it makes little difference where trading orders are completed.
Actually, there are now 13 trading marts where trades are made, which have all been approved by U.S. securities regulators The marts include the major entities at NYSE Euronext and those at the Nasdaq OMX Group. There may soon be more. (See the Earl J. Weinreb NewsHole® comments and @BusinesNewshole at Twitter.)
