Reminder: Russell. Ready?
- By: Ray Pellecchia
- File Under: NYSE
Not to be a nudge, but just a reminder, the annual reconstitution of major Russell indexes takes place this Friday, 27 June, as mentioned here last week.
Last Friday, Russell revised its list of issues that will be entering or exiting its indexes, and in turn, we've updated our roster of affected NYSE-listed issues. We're now up to 164 NYSE stocks. It's all covered on our Trader Updates page.
Be prepared, be aware, so you won't be scared, and remember to share (this information, that is).
Happy Monday, folks. Hey, the people who bring good things to life should blow out a few electric candles for this one:
Today in NYSE History
23 June 1892 -- General Electric Company stock began trading on the NYSE.
Today also is a (typewritten) red-letter day in the annals of communication, according to NYTimes.com (and they're in a position to know this stuff!):
1868 -- Christopher Latham Sholes received a patent for an invention he called the "Type-Writer."
One of the greatest inventions of all time. I sincerely thank you, Mr. Sholes.
