From the Paper
"Many countries around the world have a stock exchange, and some countries, such as the United States, have several. Stock exchanges, or stock markets, are organizations involved in the sale and purchase of various securities such as shares, stocks, and bonds (Stock exchange, 2006). According to Black's Law Dictionary (1990), a stock exchange is, "The place at which shares of stock are bought and sold. Any organization, association, or group of persons, whether incorporated or unincorporated, which constitutes, maintains, or provides a marketplace or facilities for bring together purchases and sellers of securities""

E-service Recommendations
From the Paper
"Finally, I would recommend that NYSED improve its Web services through a redesign of its Web site to make it easier to use. In particular, the home page needs to look cleaner by offering less text and more white space. This can be accomplished in a couple of different ways. First, NYSED can stop running extensive summaries of the current events pieces that currently dominate the middle of the home page. By simply offering clickable headlines, without accompanying text, NYSED can greatly reduce the amount of space that current events occupy on the home page. The headlines could perhaps even be placed into a small box, which would allow a great deal of content that currently runs at the bottom of the page to be bumped "above the fold." That includes valuable content, such as links to the state Board of Regents Web site and a site for individuals with disabilities. In fact, many of these links that currently appear at the bottom of the home page could be placed in a drop-down menu that could be accessed without having to scroll down the page."

Abstract
The paper explains that the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), one of the oldest financial institutions in America, first traded under a tree on a dirt street in New York in 1790. The author points out that, while the Panic of 1873 did some damage financially, during this time some of the most powerful investment houses began to form, including Charles Schwab and J.P. Morgan, and their influence on "the Street" began to grow. The paper compares the 1929 market crash, which was based mainly on over-valued stocks, to the "dot com" crash in 2000.

From the Paper
"The times were opulent, and Wall Street's history was being made at every turn. Some of the practices that would eventually lead to major crashes on Wall Street also had their roots in this time. Speculation was rampant, and stocks continued to climb in value. Many people invested in stocks for the first time during the opulent Victorian age, and some of these investors were still heavily invested in the market during the Roaring 20s, when stocks rose to unrivaled highs, only to crash when the market could not bear the high valuations and fluctuations. Wall Street grew out of speculation, and its history has reflected these origins repeatedly. Fortunes have been made and lost on Wall Street for centuries, and no matter what, they will continue to fluctuate and rally as the Street's history continues."

"Yes, the name is funny. But this Indian company recently unveiled what may be the most exiting and important innovation in motor vehicles since hybrids. Tata has created a small, fuel-efficient $2,500 car that is the first car ever conceived that is likely to be affordable for the vast majority of the residents of the developing world. The populations of China and India are expanding exponentially, and have more disposable income, and wider distances to travel on their commutes.

Abstract
This paper examines three major American stock exchanges: the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq. The paper points out that they collectively represent thousands of publicly traded corporations, mutual funds and other entities, all with different trading prices and market capitalizations. To simplify the complex task of identifying performance trends that can affect the markets and the U.S. economy, a series of indices have been designed to guage market performance. The paper holds that the four most commonly cited indices are the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the Standard & Poor's 500, the New York Stock Exchange Composite, and the Nasdaq 100. The paper concludes that, while each index has its relative strengths and weaknesses, together these indices perform a valuable role in helping both the general public and investment experts make sense of the American stock markets.
Outline:
The Dow Jones
S&P 500
NYSE Composite
Nasdaq 100
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The New York Stock Exchange created the NYSE Composite in the mid-1960s and revamped it in 2003 in what it called an attempt to modernize it and make it more transparent (TSC Staff, 2003). This involved removing mutual funds, trusts and derivatives from the index, which pared down its total membership by about 700. NYSE claimed that, under its old composition, the NYSE Composite was double-counting some companies that were also held in these mutual funds and trusts (TSC Staff, 2003). As part of the changes introduced to the NYSE Composite, NYSE also reset its base value from 500 to 5,000. This type of change has been made before, as the index was founded with only a base value of 50. These changes have arguably not diminished the overall value of the NYSE Composite index. Because NYSE trades many of America's oldest and largest blue-chip companies, it remains the flagship exchange for the American stock markets. Because the NYSE Composite provides a way to measure the overall performance of this important exchange, it will remain a critical stock market index."

Abstract
This paper explains that many of the corporate requirements came about because the Amex, the NASDAQ and the NYSE wanted to ensure the high quality management of the Board of Director committees. The paper then discusses how board committees are structured, which ones are the most important or significant and which ones are the most likely to be needed based on the type of company. The paper examines several types of board committees, including the audit, compensation, nominating, and other committees. The paper also examines the functions of members of non-profit Board of Directors.

From the Paper
"The standards are designed to show not only that the particular exchange is high quality, but also that it is safe and can be trusted . There is some difficulty with this right now because of the various scandals that took place in accounting firms such as Enron, and many of the changes that are taking place has to do with just such problems. Currently, the corporate governance requirements are a mixture of good governance and competition."

Abstract
This paper looks at Long?s Drug Stores which has catered to markets in the western United states since 1938. It currently has over 400 drug stores in six Western states: California, Hawaii, Oregon, Colorado, Nevada, and Washington. It examines how the company went public in 1971 and trades on the NYSE and how despite steady sales growth, the company has faced problems over the last year as the market for consumer pharmaceuticals has changed to reflect a greater number of generic drugs and an increased presence of third party health plans, which act to reduce margins by demanding favorable prices. It analyzes the resultant crisis for Long?s which has been characterized by staff cuts, a 2/3 decline in quarterly revenue and the resignation of the company?s Chief Operations Officer.
From the Paper
"Long?s board of directors approved a program to upgrade its supply chain practices in February of 2002. These measures were designed to enhance profitability and to increase efficiency and relied on measures designed to increase front-end sales and pharmacy margins, increase customer service, and improve operational efficiencies. Long expects to expend approximately $60 million for supply chain improvements over a four year period. As of October 31, $12 million had already been spent. (LDG 10-Q, December 2002) Long?s is relying on these efforts to increase profit margins. In order to overcome its problem maintaining a staff of qualified pharmacists, Long entered into a joint venture agreement with AmerisourceBergen to operate a central prescription fill center. Hopefully, this will help alleviate the need for pharmacists."
