You have been asked to write a report for a group of new stock brokers about the NYSE-Euronext and the NASDAQ.

Visit both the NYSE Homepage, and the NASDAQ Homepage, and write a paper of 2–3 pages on how the two exchanges operate. Make sure to address the following three questions:

•How are NYSE and NASDAQ similar, if at all?
•How are the two exchanges different from one another, if at all?
•What is The Public Company Accounting and Investor Protection Act of 2002? Describe the law in your own words.
