Stock Exchange (NYSE) and the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations (NASDAQ). At one time, NASDAQ was also known as the "over-the-counter" exchange (in that stocks were purchased and
sold through a bid-ask method rather than a straight pricing strategy), but you dont hear it called "over the counter" much these days.
The one thing both of these exchanges have in common is they exchange equity between buyers and sellers (NYSE and NASDAQ: How They Work, 2009). But equity exchanges are about
the only thing these two organizations have in common; they have more differences than similarities. One huge difference between these two exchanges is
location; while stocks on the NYSE trade in a specific, physical place (on Wall Street) with help from traders, stocks on NASDAQ trade via a telecommunications network, and trading takes

the "bid" and "ask"); and these dealers make the market (NYSE and NASDAQ: How They Work, 2009). The NYSE, on the other hand, is an auction market; prices are more
set by supply and demand than by specific dealers (NYSE and NASDAQ: How They Work, 2009). Finally, the main difference between these two
exchanges is the types of equity exchanged. While the NYSE tends to be made up of older, more established companies (also known as "blue-chip" companies), the NASDAQ tends to attract
