O governador Hogan não só provou ser um dos governantes mais pragmáticos da história de Maryland, mas um advogado astuto para pessoas com deficiência. Ele sabia que ele tinha que se cercar de pessoas dedicadas que prestam serviço público e com profissionais imbatíveis dedicados a melhorar a vida dos cidadãos mais vulneráveis ​​de Maryland. Em paralelo com o vice-secretário Simons, pessoas com deficiências significativas relegadas para viver em uma instituição estadual em Massachusetts, que usa tratamento punitivo, estão retornando para casa.

A Community Options trabalhou com a liderança executiva e departamental de Maryland e tem 12 pequenas casas abertas ou em desenvolvimento para acomodar mais de 40 pessoas com deficiência. O resultado não é apenas cuidados de qualidade, mas também irá criar mais de 100 empregos para cuidadores no estado de Maryland.

Brian Dion, vice-presidente regional, abriu dois escritórios em Maryland e não se concentrou apenas na compra de casas bonitas para os cidadãos recém-devolvidos, mas também para encontrar empregos e serviços de dia úteis. Com a ajuda de Kim Herndon e Madeleine Will, está sendo formado um notável comitê de consultoria empresarial para aumentar a direção e visão para este fantástico grupo de profissionais que estão prontos para implementar apoios para pessoas com deficiência.

Ainda assim, o conselho de administração sabe que isso não aconteceria sem a força e liderança do governador Hogan. Ele ganhou batalhas pessoais para si mesmo e sempre ajuda os outros a conquistar suas batalhas também.

"Eu adoro ganhar dinheiro e ver o quão bom o jardim cuida de eu cortar a grama", diz Harmon.

Kyle Harmon começou seu negócio de cuidados com gramado com dois metros e um cortador de pressão. Ele expandiu seus serviços com um golpe de erva emprestado emprestado do Coordenador de Garantia de Qualidade das Opções da Comunidade Ryan Vinson. Com tão rápido sucesso e desejo de dar um serviço de alta qualidade, Kyle economizou dinheiro suficiente para comprar um novo.

Um amante do ar livre, Kyle tem gostado de cortar gramados desde uma idade muito jovem. Ele costumava cortar o gramado para seus pais adotivos. Kyle foi encaminhado para Community Options pelo Department of Children's Services, já que ele havia envelhecido quando não podia mais estar no sistema de acolhimento adotivo. Desde que chegou às Opções Comunitárias, ele recebeu um dia de vida apoiado, baseado em comunidade e serviços de emprego apoiados com a organização nacional sem fins lucrativos.

O primeiro cliente de Kyle era seu vizinho, que precisava de alguém para cortar seu gramado a uma taxa razoável. O vizinho já não conseguiu lidar com a manutenção manual de mão-de-obra ou quintal. Kyle e sua equipe principal, Ashley Gentry, apresentaram uma oferta ao vizinho e ganharam a oportunidade. O segundo quintal foi garantido quando um empregado da Community Options procurava alguém para cortar seu quintal inclinado, pois não tinha tempo para lidar com a responsabilidade.

"Eu adoro ganhar dinheiro e ver o quão bom o jardim cuida de eu cortar a grama", diz Harmon.

Ele recebeu um gramado de gramado John Deere por um membro da equipe este ano, permitindo que ele assegure dois estaleiros adicionais. Com o negócio tão bom, Kyle comprou um trailer para transportar seu cortador de grama.

"Kyle ainda está aprendendo a arte de cortar e precisar de direção. Como ele continua a fornecer serviços de corte para seus clientes, ele ganhará mais conhecimento e, eventualmente, será capaz de cortar com pouca ou nenhuma direção de seu treinador de emprego ", disse Jeanette Preece, diretora executiva de opções da Community Cookeville, TN.

Kyle atualmente mantém um total de quatro gramados e espera aumentar esse número para seis até o final do ano. Community Options 'O escritório da Cookeville atende 20 indivíduos com deficiências intelectuais e de desenvolvimento, oferece suporte residencial com 10 casas da área e apóia seis indivíduos atualmente empregados na força de trabalho.

Keith Baxter-Young e Andrew Daniels mantêm o contrato de arrendamento para o novo lugar onde mudaram para julho.

A missão das Opções da Comunidade é fornecer suporte para habitação e emprego para indivíduos com deficiências intelectuais e de desenvolvimento. No início de julho, Keith Baxter-Young e Andrew Daniels se mudaram para um prédio residencial como companheiros de quarto na seção Harlem da cidade de Nova York, vivendo independentemente pela primeira vez.

Baxter-Young, de 23 anos, veio do sistema de acolhimento em agosto de 2018 depois de morar em Queens. Daniels, 24, morava com sua família em Manhattan até se mudar para as opções da comunidade em setembro de 2018.

New York Office for People with Developmental Disabilities 'Suporte e serviços individuais (ISS) ajuda os adultos com deficiências de desenvolvimento que desejam viver de forma independente. A divisão fornece fundos para pagar os custos de habitação, e de forma limitada, para itens como alimentos, transporte e roupas. O aluguel para a sua nova residência é de US $ 2.000 / mês, com o subsídio pagando $ 1.400, deixando Baxter-Young e Daniels com uma fatura de $ 600 para dividir. Também através do programa, eles receberam US $ 3.000 cada um para custos de instalação para várias despesas, como móveis e taxas de imóveis.

Baxter-Young trabalhou no Target por alguns meses e Daniels está ativamente buscando emprego. Eles foram aprovados para receber 5.200 horas de serviços através de Habilitação / Recreação Comunitária, além de serviços de Insuficiência e Dia de Habilitação.

Com mais de 20 anos de experiência trabalhando com pessoas com deficiência e serviços de emprego, Shannon Wilkins foi contratado como Diretor de Serviços de Emprego. Utilizando seu conhecimento de programas e relacionamentos estabelecidos com fontes de financiamento, Wilkins cultivou um relacionamento com o Departamento de Reabilitação Vocacional e Divisão de Serviços para Pessoas com Deficiência para oferecer suporte ao emprego. Compartilhando a mesma filosofia progressiva e inclusiva como o estado, as Opções da Comunidade obtiveram apoio financiado para 23 pessoas nos municípios de Salt Lake e Weber de Utah. Uma dessas pessoas, Keanu Unufe, já encontrou emprego.

Keanu Unufe estava prestes a completar 22 anos em maio, resultando em uma perda de apoio estatal e na falta de programas formais. Após a graduação de uma escola de transição de educação prolongada, seus professores e opções de comunidade procuraram emprego potencial. Após uma avaliação das habilidades e habilidades de Keanu, assistência na criação de um currículo e na prática de suas habilidades de entrevista e auto advocacia, ele recebeu uma entrevista com o Walmart como Associado em 15 de maio.

Ele agora trabalha cinco dias por semana e um total de 20 horas. Bem-gostado por seus supervisores e colegas de trabalho, Keanu foi uma adição bem-vinda para a equipe do Walmart.

Governor Hogan has not only proven to be one of the most pragmatic governors in Maryland’s history, but an astute advocate for persons with disabilities. He knew that he had to surround himself with dedicated people who provide public service, and with unflappable professionals dedicated to improve the lives of Maryland’s most vulnerable citizens. In tandem with Deputy Secretary Simons, persons with significant disabilities relegated to live in a state institution in Massachusetts which uses punitive treatment, are now returning home.

Community Options has worked with the executive and departmental leadership of Maryland and has 12 small homes opened or in development to accommodate over 40 people with disabilities. The result is not only quality care, but will also create over 100 jobs for caregivers in the state of Maryland.

Brian Dion, Regional Vice President, has opened two offices in Maryland and is not only focused on purchasing beautiful homes for the newly returned citizens, but also to find jobs and meaningful day services. With the assistance of Kim Herndon and Madeleine Will, a notable business advisory committee is being formed to augment the direction and vision for this terrific group of professionals who are ready to implement supports for persons with disabilities.

Still, the board of directors knows that this would not happen without the fortitude and leadership of Governor Hogan. He has won personal battles for himself and always helps others to win their battles as well.

Phil was the first person to move into our Maryland home. Community Options now supports over 60 people in that state.

Cookeville Native Starts His Own Lawncare Business.

“I love to make money and see how good the yard looks after I’ve mowed the grass,” says Harmon.

Kyle Harmon started his lawn care business with two yards and a push mower. He expanded his services with a borrowed weed whacker from Community Options Quality Assurance Coordinator Ryan Vinson. With such quick success and a desire to give high quality service, Kyle saved enough money to purchase a new one.

A lover of the outdoors, Kyle has enjoyed mowing lawns from a very young age. He would often mow the lawn for his foster parents. Kyle was referred to Community Options by the Department of Children’s Services, as he had come of age when he could no longer be in the foster care system. Since coming to Community Options, he has received supported living, community-based day and supported employment services with the national nonprofit organization.

Kyle’s first customer was his neighbor, who needed someone to mow his lawn at a reasonable rate. The neighbor could no longer handle the manual labor or yard maintenance. Kyle and his lead staff, Ashley Gentry, submitted a bid to the neighbor and earned the opportunity. The second yard was secured when a Community Options employee was looking for someone to mow his sloped yard, as he lacked the time to handle the responsibility.

“I love to make money and see how good the yard looks after I’ve mowed the grass,” says Harmon.

He was given a John Deere riding lawn mower by a staff member this year, enabling him to secure two additional yards. With business going so well, Kyle purchased a trailer to transport his riding lawn mower.

“Kyle is still learning the art of mowing and needs direction. As he continues to provide mowing services to his customers he will gain more knowledge and eventually be able to mow with little to no direction from his job coach,” said Jeanette Preece, Community Options’ Executive Director of Cookeville, TN.

Kyle currently maintains a total of four lawns and is hoping to increase that number to six by the end of the year. Community Options’ Cookeville office serves 20 individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, provides residential support with 10 area homes and supports six individuals who are currently employed in the workforce.

A Move to New York City Marks a New Beginning For Two Young Men.

Keith Baxter-Young and Andrew Daniels hold up the lease agreement to their new place they moved to in July.

Community Options’ mission is to provide housing and employment support for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. In early July, Keith Baxter-Young and Andrew Daniels moved into a residential building as roommates in the Harlem section of New York City, living independently for the first time.

Baxter-Young, 23, came from the foster care system in August 2018 after living in Queens. Daniels, 24, had lived with his family in Manhattan until he moved to Community Options in September 2018.

New York Office for People with Developmental Disabilities’ Individual Support and Services (ISS) assists adults with developmental disabilities who wish to live independently. The division provides funds to pay for housing costs, and on a limited basis, for items such as food, transportation and clothing. Rent for their new residence is $2,000/month, with the subsidy paying $1,400, leaving Baxter-Young and Daniels with a $600 bill to split. Also through the program, they received $3,000 each for set up costs for various expenses such as furniture, and real estate fees.

Baxter-Young has worked at Target for a few months and Daniels is actively seeking employment. They were approved to receive 5,200 hours of services through Community Habilitation/Recreation in addition to Employment and Day Habilitation services.

and Cristy with their parents.

In March 2017, Community Options expanded services to Utah. In a matter of just a few months, Community Options has made noticeable progress in providing housing and employment supports to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

With over 20 years’ experience working with people with disabilities and employment services, Shannon Wilkins was hired as the Director of Employment Services. Utilizing her knowledge of programs and established relationships with funding sources, Wilkins cultivated a relationship with the Vocational Rehabilitation Department and Division of Services for People with Disabilities to provide employment supports. Sharing the same progressive, inclusive philosophy as the state, Community Options obtained funded support for 23 individuals in the Salt Lake and Weber counties of Utah. One of those individuals, Keanu Unufe, has already found employment.

Keanu Unufe was about to turn 22 in May, resulting in a loss of state-provided support and a lack of formal programs. Upon his graduation from an extended education transition school, his teachers and Community Options searched for potential employment. After an assessment of Keanu’s skills and abilities, assistance in creating a resume and practicing his interviewing skills and self-advocacy, he was offered an interview with Walmart as an Associate on May 15.

He now works five days a week and a total of 20 hours. Well-liked by his supervisors and co-workers, Keanu has been a welcome addition to the Walmart team.

The 24-year-old is hoping to lock down a five day a week paid job in the near future. Max started in STEP as a high school student from West Windsor Plainsboro High School North.

PRINCETON, NJ ( January 21, 2018 ) — Today it was announced that Robert Stack, President of Community Options, selected Roy King to ring the bell at the New York Stock Exchange, Friday January 22.

Roy King, only twenty-six years old, has not had it easy. Growing up with a disability, Roy was in and out of placements throughout his life with no sense of stability.

In 2018, Roy aged out of the Edenwald Center, a residential school, and began receiving services from Community Options, Inc. Community Options, Inc. is one of New Jersey’s largest non-profit corporations whose focus is to help provide community housing, job training, employment, and life-skills experience to those living with disabilities.

Roy, living with three other individuals in a Community Options condominium in Harlem, quickly learned alternative ways to express his frustrations through counseling and with the help of consistent staff and service providers.

With his new skills, Roy identified a prospective employer; a clinic he was attending. Taking initiative, Roy asked if they were hiring. The administrators of the clinic, admiring his persistence and personality, located a program that would provide job coaching and training to Roy.

Now, Roy travels independently to and from his job at Metro Community Health, where he works two days a week as a patient transporter and takes great pride in his key card that allows him to access certain doors in the facility. In addition to his job, Roy participates in a day program run by Community Options where he can learn and develop new skills. Having been the first person to receive services in the program, Roy is the unofficial spokesman.

Roy is always looking out for the best interest of the other individuals and the staff, even assisting in preparing the meals. Roy is known for his delicious salads! He takes great pride in his home and work and says, “I am proud of my good character and the man I have become.”

Community Options currently has five homes in Harlem, servicing fourteen individuals with disabilities in the community. Another home is expected to open in February of this year. The “Day Hab Without Walls” program that Roy attends serves seven individuals and assists them with community inclusion, developing social and communication skills, and vocational skill development.

Community Options strives to make their program and services as effective as possible, while always ensuring the individuals feel dignity and empowerment. To help carry out their mission, Community Options hosts Cupid’s Chase 5K, an annual fundraiser held in 30 cities, including New York City, in 9 states across the country. Cupid’s Chase allows Community Options to raise both funds and awareness for their cause. All runners, walkers and rollers (baby strollers and wheelchairs) are invited to participate on Saturday, February 13, 2018. For more information or to register, visit cupidschase.

“Community Options has reopened doors and given hope to so many people with developmental disabilities across the country. It is a great honor to be recognized by such a wonderful and credible organization.”

Governor Thomas H. Kean.

Governor Thomas H. Kean was rated among America’s five most effective state leaders by Newsweek magazine; noted for tax cuts that spurred 750,000 new jobs; a federally replicated welfare reform program, landmark environmental policies, and over 30 education reforms. During the Governor’s tenure, many of us witnessed him signing legislation expanding the Division of Mental Retardation to support persons with Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Epilepsy, Spina Bifida, Traumatic Brain Injuries and other neurological disabilities. He created the Governor’s Office on Prevention of Mental Retardation and supported the reduction of institutional care of 8,100 people with disabilities to less than 4,200 people, thereby creating the largest development of community based supports in the history of New Jersey.

Morven Museum & Garden is located in the beautiful town of Princeton, New Jersey. This former home of a signer of the Declaration of Independence also served as New Jersey’s first Governor’s Mansion. Morven is the “people’s” place: a National Historic Landmark owned by the State of New Jersey and operated by the non-profit, Historic Morven, Inc.

With only a short period of time to plan, longtime supporter and member of the Community Options Board of Overseers, Beth Hegberg, gathered a committee of friends and neighbors to execute an event to raise awareness about the work of Community Options. Over 75 guests not familiar with our organization were in attendance. Hors d’oeuvres were prepared by Peter Dulligan, chef and owner of Griffin’s Bar and Grill. Peter, who serves as a trustee on the Community Options Board of Directors, donated his time and the cost of the food he prepared. Robert Stack provided a brief informal introduction to the organization and answered questions throughout the evening. The event raised over $4,000 but more importantly, we are grateful to Beth for inviting so many new people to learn about our work and the support people with disabilities need in the state of New Jersey.

Run your Heart Out!

Message from the President.

The purpose of the Cupid’s Chase 5K is to raise awareness about the vast potential of people with disabilities such as autism, cerebral palsy, down syndrome, and traumatic brain injury; potentials that in many instances were historically overlooked and marginalized by the general public.

This year’s Cupid’s Chase National Chair was Geraldo Rivera.

In 1972, Geraldo Rivera, an ABC News reporter at the time, visited the Willowbrook State School on Staten Island in New York, the same facility visited by Robert Kennedy in 1965.The program, Willowbrook: The Last Great Disgrace, was seen by millions of viewers. Mr. Rivera was nationally recognized for his heroic expose of the horrific neglect televised relative to the now closed Willowbrook State School for the Retarded. Historic black and white footage of men and women naked, lying in their own feces, unattended, is an image I will never forget.

It was one of the principal reasons that I decided to devote my life to moving people into more humane settings in which they could receive appropriate care; settings in which people with disabilities would be taught, like any other American, how to find and keep a job; live like any other American in the community and thrive as a human being full of unexplored potentials to be attained throughout the remainder of their lives.

It has been well over 30 years since Mr. Rivera brought this problem into the living room of every American. It has been even longer since Bobby Kennedy came out of that institution and described it as a “snake pit.”

Government officials were embarrassed and ashamed. Over the last 30 years, they pumped trillions of dollars into these large institutions. This was not the answer.

The solution to solving the problems of the abuse and neglect at these large costly institutions is to close them and provide the men and women who are the residents with their basic rights to live in the community. This can be achieved by opening small homes throughout the country and employing the staff who currently care for them at these institutions.

I am proud to write that over the course of the last three decades, many institutions have been closed, however there are currently over 35,000 people warehoused in large institutions. The largest number of people living in institutions are in New Jersey, New York, Texas and Pennsylvania. There are also people still admitted to these costly facilities every year.

Parents with adult children with disabilities need small, community-based affordable programs to help them care for their family members to avoid these costly institutions.

The Community Options’ Cupid’s Chase is one real way to make a difference. All races start with the first step. Each race not only has a registration table for the race, but also a place to make a contribution, sign up for volunteering opportunities and even job applications are available for open positions at Community Options.

In closing, I would like to personally thank all of our volunteers, sponsors and runners who made this years Cupid’s Chase the most successful event to date. Your partnership and generous donations will allow us to continue developing housing and employment services for those who are in need of our assistance through the country.

Next year we will hold our runs in over 29 cities on February 9, 2018!

Please visit our website for further information and help us help others. You can make a difference. You don’t have to run. You can cheer. You can be part of a race to support people with disabilities to live like every other American.

Presidente e CEO.

Thank You to all of our Cupids Chase 5k Chairs!

As Community Options continues its efforts to empower people with disabilities to make their own choices and experience the highest degree of independence, we turn to you, our friends, to help support this much needed cause. We are now kicking off our annual Spring Event, which will be held on May 18, 2018 at Jasna Polana, in Princeton, New Jersey and invite you to participate.

Far too many people with disabilities languish in our country’s developmental institutions and many more sit on waiting lists in need of services. Utilizing technology and professional training, Community Options helps these individuals move out of these centers, engage in productive work, and participate in their communities.

The funds raised will be applied to staff training and geographic expansion, thus allowing Community Options to serve a greater number of people. Your sponsorship will allow us to continue developing housing and employment services for those who are in need of our assistance.

The money raised is vital to the future of many individuals who desperately await our services. We sincerely hope we can count on your support to make this year’s event a success. By making a tax deductible donation to our Spring Event, you will be directly supporting our goal of promoting inclusion and assisting people with disabilities in leading their own autonomous lives in their communities. Additionally, you will be recognized for your generosity through our website, upcoming newsletter and at the event itself.

Please consider placing a sponsorship ad in our ad journal at the level you feel comfortable, or a monetary donation in any amount you are able to provide. Any size donation will go a long way in assisting our efforts.

For additional information, please contact Kathryn Sampson at (609) 419.4407 x 226.

Thank you for your kind consideration of this request and we look forward to working with you towards our common goal.

We hope to see you at our Spring Event on May 18, 2018.

George A. Bryant’s Incredible Road to Recovery.

George A. Bryant’s entrepreneurial business and personal life hasn’t been the same since his almost fatal motorcycle accident in May of 2006. The emergency roo9m doctors gave Mr. Bryant slim chance of survival due to his severe brain injury compounded by a lack of blood and oxygen flow to the brain. Nevertheless, thanks to Mr. Bryant’s relentless spirit, he was transferred to the Brain Injury Program at Sunnyview Rehabilitation Hospital in Schenectady, NY, only after three and a half weeks. He remained at Sunnyview for four months, learning how to walk, eat and talk again.

In October of 2006, Mr. Bryant was released from the rehabilitation hospital to return to his home in Binghamton, ANY. Thanks to the support of his family, friends, medical care and COI’s services (all provided to Mr. Bryant at his home) he can more onward. During Mr. Bryant’s phenomenal recovers, which is still in progress and against all odds, Mr. Bryant has re-ignited his zest and love for life. He thrives on moving ahead every day.

George E. Bryant, Mr. Bryant’s father, hopes that “George’s courage will light… pathways with warmth and hope, but most of all with encouragement to believe in (oneself) and to fight as hard as (one) can every hour of every day to regain the life one had before the injuries. George will be the first to tell that, not only can it be done but that it is indeed, within one’s grasp.”

Bolsa de Valores de Nova Iorque.

The New York Stock Exchange, located at 11 Wall Street in New York City, is the world's largest stock exchange by market cap and is often referred to as the "Big Board."

It is owned by the IntercontinentalExchange, which acquired it in November 2018 along with NYSE's complementary stock and options markets, NYSE Arca and NYSE Arca Options. NYSE lists more than 2,400 companies with a collective market cap of $26 trillion. [1]

The NYSE uses a Designated Market Maker (DMM) model in which DMMs have obligations to maintain fair and orderly markets for their assigned securities. They operate both manually and electronically. [2]

História.

The New York Stock Exchange traces its origins to 1792, when 24 New York City stockbrokers and merchants signed what was known as the Buttonwood Agreement, forged under a Buttonwood tree, agreeing to trade securities on a commission basis. [3] They began by trading five securities: three government bonds and two banks stocks. [4]

These early New York brokers eventually established a formal organization, called the New York Stock & Exchange Board ("NYS&EB") in 1817. They rented rooms at 40 Wall street and adopted a constitution with rules for business conduct. The organization became the New York Stock Exchange in 1863.

The NYS&EB moved to temporary headquarters in 1835 after a fire destroyed more than 700 buildings in lower Manhattan.

In 1857, panic hit the markets after the collapse of the Ohio Life Insurance & Trust Company. Stock prices dropped 8 to 10% during a single trading session. As a result of the "Panic of 1857", stock prices slumped 45% since the first of the year.

Following the outbreak of the Civil War in 1861, the NYS&EB suspended trading in securities of the seceding Southern states.

In 1865 the New York Stock Exchange moved to 10-12 Broad Street, just south of Wall Street. That same year the exchange closed for a week following the assassination of U. S. President Abraham Lincoln.

In 1868, membership at the NYSE became a property right and members could sell their seats. Throughout the exchange's history, membership prices have varied widely: In 1871, a seat sold for $2,780, and in December 2005 a membership sold for a record $4 million.

On Black Friday in 1869 the market fell as a result of speculation in gold.

In 1873, the NYSE closed for 10 days as a result of severe financial panic following the bankruptcy of Jay Cooke & Company, a prominent Philadelphia banking firm.

The Panic of 1907 was triggered by rumors of financial problems at Knickerbocker Trust, a leading New York bank, which in turn triggered a run on banks throughout New York City. This was America's most severe financial crisis to date and it was J. P. Morgan, Sr. who orchestrated a plan to infuse banks with cash and shore up the stock market.

As a result of the outbreak of World War I, the NYSE closed for 4 1/2 months following other securities exchanges around the world. The NYSE shut its doors on July 31, 1914 and was closed for the longest period in exchange history.

In 1929, stock prices fell sharply on October 24 with record volumes. Five days later the market crashed with a new record of 16 million shares traded. October 19, 1929 came to be called "Black Tuesday" and led to the Great Depression.

In 1939, NYSE hired its firm full-time salaried president, William McChesney Martin, Jr.

The war year of 1943 saw women working on the NYSE's trading floor for the first time, ending the tradition of men only.

On November 22, 1963 the exchange closed early to prevent panic selling after the assassination of U. S. President John F. Kennedy.

In 1970, on February 12, Joseph L. Searles, III became the first African-American member of the New York Stock Exchange. [5]

In 1971, the NYSE incorporated itself as a not-for-profit company.

In 1987, the stock market crashed 508 points, the largest one-day drop in the exchange's history. Volume was an unprecedented 604 million shares traded. This is referred to as the Market crash of 1987 or Black Monday.

In 1997, the Dow Jones Industrial Average plummeted 554 points in what was referred to as a flash crash.

On September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks destroyed the World Trade Center. The NYSE closed for four days -- its longest closure since 1933 -- and reopened on September 17, setting a volume record of 2.37 billion shares.

It merged with Euronext N. V. in 2007 to create NYSE Euronext. NYSE Euronext was bought by its former rival the InterContinentalExchange (ICE) in 2018 and in 2018 Euronext was spun off through an IPO. [6]

In early 2017, it was announced that the trading floor of the NYSE MKT exchange, formerly known as the American Stock Exchange (AMEX), would shut down in the second quarter of 2017. When the closure became effective, all trading on the NYSE MKT exchange, which lists and trades around 250 small-cap companies, would be automated, including opening, re-opening, and closing auctions. [7] The open trading floor was replaced by a new trading technology platform known as Pillar that connected all of its equities and options markets, including the NYSE, NYSE MKT, NYSE Arca Equities, NYSE Arca Options, and NYSE Amex Options. [8] NYSE Group completed the rollout of NYSE Pillar matching engines on NYSE Arca in May of 2018.

NYSE Organization.

The exchange was first organized on May 17, 1792. It was incorporated on Feb. 18, 1971 as the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., a not-for-profit corporation. It was established as a for-profit corporation, the NYSE Group, on March 7, 2006. It announced an agreement to combine NYSE and Euronext to "redefine the marketplace for trading cash and derivatives securities, producing significant benefits for shareholders, issuers and users," on June 1, 2006. The creation of NYSE Euronext occurred on Apr. 4, 2007. The NYSE was purchased in November 2018 by the Intercontinental Exchange.

Produtos e serviços.

On May 18, 2018, the NYSE launched a bitcoin index, formally called the NYSE Bitcoin Index (NYXBT). It is the first such index produced by a major exchange. Bloomberg had been providing bitcoin prices quotes since 2018, and various bitcoin exchanges provide their own quotes, as do news sites such as CoinDesk. The index will be made available through NYSE's Global Index Feed and will be free on its website for a limited time. It is intended to serve as a definitive benchmark for valuing the currency. [9]

The exchange received approval from the SEC in May of 2017 to introduce a "speed bump" on one of its trading venues. The move was seen as a direct challenge to IEX, its smaller rival, which pioneered the speed bump. [10] NYSE's bump will allow a delay of 350 micrseconds on NYSE MKT, which will be renamed "NYSE American." [11]
