NYSE needs a second center that can operate the market when something like this happens

[RB TexLa]

It should not close for something like this.

1. It's bass ackwards

But try telling those smart asses anything...

2. They do. They went completely electronic today. The floor isn't a necessity. I'm sure they have

complete redundancy in multiple spots.

4. I know it really isn't but I bet they won't open tomorrow

3. Well, they didn't really "close"....

There was still electronic trading, and isn't that really all there is these days?

But you are right, they should not close down over a storm, even a big storm.

5. Like in Beijing. nt

6. NYSE has been preparing for this since 911.

I'm surprised it's not well known.

I imagine you'll eventually see the NYSE substantially reduced or closed, especially if this is an effect of global warming.

7. They don't need the physical "floor" anymore. It's all electronic.

8. They have servers in NJ

the Manhattan NYSE is merely for show
