217 years ago today, a bunch of suits met for coffee and organized the New York Stock Exchange. Legend has it that the first transactions were made under a tree on Wall Street. Given the current debacle, maybe they'll try that again.
Thanks to Leroy Neiman for the only interesting representation of this famous (infamous?) institution.
