  • How the New York Stock Exchange Really Works David Kramer
    How the New York Stock Exchange Really Works David Kramer Object 1 Object 2 Object 3 Richard Ney on the Role of the Specialist by Michael Templain “The story is told that after he had been deported to Italy, Lucky Luciano granted an interview in which he described a visit to the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. When the operations of floor specialists had been explained to him, he said, ‘A terrible thing happened. I realized I’d joined the wrong mob’” (1Ney, 8). It was with these words that Richard Ney began his first of three books on the nature of the New York Stock Exchange. Ney wrote over 20 years ago, a time when a 750 Dow was high and today’s volumes were beyond imagining. Some of his material is dated, and must be read in the light in which it was written. But the main premise of his books is still true: that the specialist exists not to ensure the free and orderly trade of stock in a particular company, but to fatten upon the innocence and ignorance of the small investor. The New York Stock Exchange is not an auction market (2Ney, 86), though many investors still hold onto that image. It is a rigged market. Volume is an effect of price. Prices are controlled absolutely by the specialists, the ‘market makers’ in individual stocks. It was this discovery that led Mr. Ney to eventually give us small investors a priceless gift: enlightenment. “Studying the transactions in each stock, I became immediately conscious that, on too many occasion to be a coincidence, a stock would advance from its morning low and then, often during the afternoon, would show an up-tick of a half-point or more on a large block of anywhere from 1,500 to 5,000 or more shares.

  • Bert Lytell and Betty Compson in to Have and to Hold (C
    Bert Lytell and Betty Compson in To Have and To Hold (c. 1923); see page 26. 22 ARLINGTON HISTORJCAL MAGAZINE A Century of Jamestown in the Cinema BY STEPHEN PATRICK For exactly one hundred years, filmed accounts and derivatives of the Jamestown story illustrated and romanticized this history onto the silver screen. And for this past century, Arlingtonians have enjoyed those narratives in a changing spectrum of cinematic venues. Arlington County citizens marked the fourth century of the founding of Jamestown in 2007 through celebrations, performances, exhibits, book clubs, tree plantings, and on and on. Repeatedly, an innocent question was asked about the relationship between far ago Stuart England's colonization of far away Jamestown with the northern Virginia county of Arlington. True, Captain John Smith, leader of the colony, explored the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries in 1608, and sailed up the Potomac to the spot that now is the Arlington shoreline, but seemingly any direct connections rest there. But Arlingtonians have a far deeper and more personal connection to early Jamestown, and that history is one hundred years old this year. 1 The Jamestown Tercentennial Exposition centered on the 1907 World's Fair; a sprawling celebration near Norfolk with exhibition buildings, states' showcase houses, reenactment tableaux for the audiences, and an exuberant presentation of the American past seen through the lens of the Progressive Era historians who portrayed the American story as a steady theme focused on the rights of man and the pursuit of happiness. Perhaps some people from Arlington were fortunate to travel by train or overnight steamship from Washington to Norfolk to see the Exhibition, but many more saw it in film.

HIGH-FREQUENCY TRADING & DARK POOLS ‘Flash Boys’ Fuels More Calls for a Tax on Trading Nelson Schwartz, New York Times, 4/7/14 “It’s not every day that you find a fan club for new taxes, especially among economists and legal experts. But a burst of outrage in recent days generated by Michael Lewis’s new book about the adverse consequences of high-frequency trading on Wall Street has revived support in some quarters for a tax on financial transactions, with backers arguing that a tiny surcharge on trades would have many benefits. “’It kills three birds with one stone,’ said Lynn A. Stout, a professor at Cornell Law School, who has long followed issues of corporate governance and securities regulation. ‘From a public policy perspective, it’s a no-brainer.’” Will Flash Trades Now Lead to a Financial Transaction Tax? Peter Schroeder, The Hill, 4/6/14 “Renowned author Michael Lewis’s charge that the stock market is rigged against regular investors is making waves in Washington. Liberal lawmakers in particular believe Lewis is bringing critical attention to an issue that could boost their efforts to assign a tax on all financial transactions. “Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) joined with civil rights advocates Friday to hold a rally pushing his financial transaction tax bill. At the event, he mentioned Lewis’s book Flash Boys and blasted high-frequency traders as ‘predatory’ and ‘parasitic.’” The Michael Lewis Factor Zachary Warmbrodt and Dave Clarke, Politico, 4/5/14 Slow Cop, Fast Beat: SEC Takes Its Time on High-Frequency Trading Rules Dave Michaels, Matthew Philips & Silla Brush, Bloomberg, 4/10/14 “Yet White is in no rush.

REVIEWS THE WALL STREET SPECIALIST: KING OF THE JUNGLE Donald Shelby Chisum* THE WALL STREET JUNGLE. By Richard Ney. New York: Grove Press, Inc., 1970. Pp. 348. $7.50. The tone of The Wall Street Jungle is set in its preface: "[T] here is more sheer larceny per square foot on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange than any place else in the world."' The indicted principals are the specialists on the floor of the Exchange.2 Accessories include the whole Exchange establishment, insiders of the corporations whose stocks are listed on the Exchange, the Securities and Exchange Com- mission (SEC), the Federal Reserve Board, and members of Congress, all of whom are accused of acquiescing or even sharing in the special- ists' plunder. A close examination of Mr. Ney's bill of particulars reveals, however, that he exposes little about the persistent problem of the specialist and his function in the securities exchange auction mar- ket that has not already been debated in professional circles.3 In fact, as a piece of scholarship, the Jungle is a jungle itself, suffering from a lack of coherent organization.

  • NOT TOO RICH, NOT TOO POOR Britain's Mrs. Miniver As The
    NOT TOO RICH, NOT TOO POOR Britain’s Mrs. Miniver as the Epitome of the American Middle Class NOT TOO RICH, NOT TOO POOR Britain’s Mrs. Miniver as the Epitome of the American Middle Class Films are the reflection of a specific time and place. When they are examined in the context of the culture in which they were created, they become an indirect window into that world. Although Neil Rattigan was speaking of British films when he states, “films, especially commercial entertainment films but also documentaries, are excellent sources of information about their contemporary cultures,”1 the same observation applies to American pop culture films as well. Thus, by examining a 1942 Hollywood movie about the “British middle-class” during World War II, one can see how the content and character of that film strongly reflected the American cultural and national identity of the time. Mrs. Miniver, an MGM movie starring Greer Garson in the title role, was developed from a book of loosely linked short stories about an English family written by the British author Jan Struther. Struther’s book ended just before Great Britain entered World War II, but MGM Studio producer Stanley Frank, along with several writers and director William Wyler, expanded Struther’s story into an Academy Award-winning movie of middle-class British courage and resolve as the family and their small English village endured the German bombing blitz in the first years of the war. Although Mrs. Miniver wasn’t released until the year after Pearl Harbor, the film was written and filmed prior to that time, while Americans were still uncertain about what their role was or should be in the conflict being waged in Europe.
