The London Stock Exchange (LSE) has been electronic since the 1980's and trading is now done via computer screens scross the city rather than on a trading floor. London is also home to more than one exchange, as well as the LSE, there is also the Liffe Exchange specialising in futures and options, as well as Insurance, Metals and numerous other exchanges throughout London.

In 1698 London Stock dealers were expelled from the Royal Exchange for rowdiness and started to operate in the streets and coffee houses nearby instead, in particular in Jonathan’s Coffee House in Change Alley.

The Royal Exchange which dates back to 1565, is now an upmarket shopping centre and eatery in the heart of the City of London. Indeed the London Stock dealers now go to the Royal Exchange for their coffee.

In London and Chicago as well as in all the other financial exchanges all over the world, the Stock/Equities exchanges are not the most prominent.

This is very much true in Chicago where historically, the most famous of the exchanges is the fabled Chicago Board of Trade, which deals with Futures Contracts.

In 2007, the Chicago Board of Trade combined with the Chicago Mercantile Exchange to form the CME Group. Even before their acquisition of the New York Mercantile Exchange in 2008, the CME Group already was the biggest and richest Financial Exchange in the world.

Everything under the sun is traded within the CME Group: from the proverbial pork bellies to the DOW, the Nasdaq, and the New York Stock Exchange. You can trade your own mother there if you can package her as a Futures Contract.

At its height, a single share of the CME Group was trading for close to 900 USD or thereabouts. Even today, with the global financial meltdown in all the world financial markets, the CME Group is still currently trading at a bargain price of 212 USD a share. Compare this with the New York Stock Exchange, which is currently trading at 27 USD a share.

The Chicago Board of Trade in LaSalle Street, which is now the headquarters of the CME Group.

Ayala Tower One has a height of 160 metres (525 feet). The building has thirty-five floors and is considered one of the most prestigious office towers in the Philippines. The building is located at the corner of Ayala Avenue and Paseo de Roxas, on one of the three ends of the Ayala Triangle.

Ayala Tower One was designed by Skidmore, Owings and Merrill and is owned by Ayala Land, a subsidiary of the Ayala Corporation, which is headquartered in the building. Other institutions headquartered at Ayala Tower One include Banco de Oro Private Bank and the primary trading floor of the Philippine Stock Exchange.

To be honest the old fashioned floor dealing is now gone in most exchanges, with modern brokers now in an office in front of a desk and computer. The London Stock Exchange went electronic back in the 1986 and old fashioned face to face equity dealing ceased. Floor trading in Tokyo has been electronic since 1999, the US has kept some floor trading, but the vast majority of financial transactions globally are now electronic.

London's Financial District are full of such Electronic Trading Floors, as are other large cities across the globe.










Lloyd's of London is a British insurance market. It serves as a meeting place where multiple financial backers or “members”, whether individuals (traditionally known as “Names”) or corporations, come together to pool and spread risk.

Toronto Stock Exchange

The Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX; abbreviated TSE until 2001) is the largest stock exchange in Canada, the third largest in North America and the seventh largest in the world by market capitalization. Based in Canada's largest city, Toronto, it is owned and operated by TSX Group for the trading of senior equities. A broad range of businesses from Canada, the United States, Europe, and other countries are represented on the exchange. In addition to conventional securities, the exchange lists various exchange-traded funds, split share corporations, income trusts and investment funds. The TSX is a leader in the mining and oil & gas sector. More mining and oil & gas companies are listed on the TSX than any other exchange in the world.

On April 23, 1997, the TSE's trading floor closed, making it the second-largest stock exchange in North America to choose a floorless, electronic (or virtual trading) environment.

Here's the old building.

What? Are you paranoid or something?

I wasn't aware the flag was there 'cos of 9/11. Is it up there usually?

If it is, then it's a travesty. If not, fair play - awesome building, beautiful columns.
