International Securities Exchange - ISE Stock Exchange/Partnership With Direct Edge

ISE Stock Exchange/Partnership With Direct Edge

The ISE Stock Exchange launched in September 2006 and is an electronic marketplace offering two primary capabilities on one platform: "MidPoint Match" and "Displayed Market". "MidPoint Match" is an exchange-based, non-displayed market. Members can use MidPoint Match to trade equities instantaneously at the exact midpoint price of the National Best Bid and Offer (NBBO). Displayed market is a fully electronic displayed market of the Best Bid and Offer trading the common stocks and ETFs listed on the NYSE, Nasdaq and Amex.

The ISE Stock Exchange became a wholly owned subsidiary of ECN Direct Edge in December 2008. ISE now holds ownership stake in the company. Direct Edge will continue with its efforts to submit two Form 1 applications to gain exchange status for the purpose of operating EDGA and EDGX as newly registered national securities exchanges. Until SEC approval of the two exchange licenses is granted, Direct Edge will utilize the ISE Stock Exchange for quotation display and tradethrough protection in the National Market System. During this period, the ISE Stock Exchange will continue to operate as a facility of ISE, LLC. ISE will also provide data center and regulatory services for Direct Edge exchange subsidiaries once they become part of the National Market System.

Famous quotes containing the words stock, exchange, partnership, direct and/or edge:

    After supper she got out her book and learned me about Moses and the Bulrushers; and I was in a sweat to find out all about him; but by and by she let it out that Moses had been dead a considerable long time; so then I didn’t care no more about him; because I don’t take no stock in dead people.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    We shall exchange our material thinking for something quite different, and we shall all be kin. We shall all be enfranchised, prohibition will prevail, many wrongs will be righted, vampires and grafters and slackers will be relegated to a class by themselves, stiff necks will limber up, hearts of stone will be changed to hearts of flesh, and little by little we shall begin to understand each other.
    —General Federation Of Women’s Clubs (GFWC)

    Nevertheless, no school can work well for children if parents and teachers do not act in partnership on behalf of the children’s best interests. Parents have every right to understand what is happening to their children at school, and teachers have the responsibility to share that information without prejudicial judgment.... Such communication, which can only be in a child’s interest, is not possible without mutual trust between parent and teacher.
    Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)

    The fate of our times is characterized by rationalization and intellectualization and, above all, by the “disenchantment of the world.” Precisely the ultimate and most sublime values have retreated from public life either into the transcendental realm of mystic life or into the brotherliness of direct and personal human relations. It is not accidental that our greatest art is intimate and not monumental.
    Max Weber (1864–1920)

    The self-consciousness of Pine Ridge manifests itself at the village’s edge in such signs as “Drive Keerful,” “Don’t Hit Our Young ‘uns,” and “You-all Hurry Back”Mlocutions which nearly all Arkansas hill people use daily but would never dream of putting in print.
    —Administration in the State of Arka, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
