The Nasdaq Stock Market® announced today that in a show of unity on the reopening of America's financial markets, Nasdaq CEO Wick Simmons will join Dick Grasso, NYSE Chairman and CEO; Paul O'Neill, U.S. Treasury Secretary; Harvey L. Pitt, Chairman, Securities and Exchange Commission; George E. Pataki, Governor, New York; Rudolph Giuliani, Mayor, New York City; Charles E. Schumer, U.S. Senator, New York; Hillary Clinton, U.S. Senator, New York; Major Rose-Ann Sgrignoli, U.S. Marine Corps; representatives of the New York City Fire Department, Police Department, Port Authority Police and Emergency Medical Technicians at The New York Stock Exchange to ring the opening bell.
Given the New York Stock Exchange's close proximity to Wall Street, Nasdaq headquarters in Liberty Plaza and the disaster area, it is crucial to assemble in the financial district to illustrate to the world that Nasdaq and the American capital markets are about freedom and opportunity for all.
