The following information is about Nasdaq.
Nasdaq Defined
is a computerized system established by the NASD to facilitate trading by providing broker/dealers with current bid and ask price quotes on over-the-counter stocks and some listed stocks. Unlike the Amex and the NYSEthe NASDAQ (once an acronym for the National Association of securities Dealers Automated Quotation system) does not have a physical trading floor that brings together buyers and sellers. Insteadall trading on the NASDAQ exchange is done over a network of computers and telephones. AlsotheNASDAQ does not employ market specialists to buy unfilled orders like the NYSE does. The NASDAQ began when brokers started informally trading via telephone; the network was later formalized and linked by computer in the early 1970s. In 1998 the parent company of the NASDAQ purchased the Amexalthough the two continue to operate separately. Orders for stock are sent out electronically on the NASDAQwhere market makers list their buy and sell prices. Once a price is agreed uponthe transaction is executed electronically.
