1. The new york stock exchange building is a stock exchange, not the stock market.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stock_market read the first sentence and you will know that the stock market itself is not a physical facility.
2. You can. You might need lawyers and adequate proofs that your friend did it. Also, like I said before, you can sue your friend or sell back the stocks right away if the demands are high.
Yes I am something else from you. I'm not narcissistic and I have a nice job.
1. it is a stock exchange, correct. what's listed at a stock exchange?
The stocks are listed and traded on stock exchanges which are entities of a corporation or mutual organization specialized in the business of bringing buyers and sellers of the organizations to a listing of stocks and securities together.
oh neat that's what goes on in the-- hey what's the next line
The largest stock market in the United States, by market capitalization, is the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).
whoa fancy that. the NYSE is considered a stock market because there is
a loose network of economic transactions
of stocks. er go, a physical entity of the stock market. before any misinterpretation occurs: there is no literal "physical being" of a stock market, the NYSE acts as a trading "window" to the stocks exchanged on its market.
2. no, you can't. not without the greatest legalese loopholes (brought to you by those lawyers) to get it and by then you'd probably lose more than you'd gain.
