It's bittersweet. When you've identified yourself as a member of the New York Stock Exchange for 33 years, to lose that, is disappointing to some degree. |
It's obviously a watershed day for the institution. Economically everybody looks upon it as wonderful. But there's a tremendous amount of nostalgia and I admit I'm a little bit melancholy. |
We give up the ability to say we are New York Stock Exchange members, which we had been able to do for 213 years and that's difficult. It's been part of our identities for many years. |
