Which is the oldest and most prestigious broker market, and when did it begin?

1. Broker markets are national and regional securities exchanges that bring buyers and sellers together through brokers on a centralized trading floor. 2. The oldest and most prestigious of them is the New York Stock Exchange, which has existed since 1792. 3. Often called the Big Board, it sits on Wall Street in downtown New York City and lists the shares of some 2,400 corporations. 4. The NASDAQ was founded much later, in 1971, and it is a dealer market rather than a broker market. _Source: OpenStax Introduction to Business (CC BY 4.0), Ch 16 "Understanding Financial Management and Securities Markets", section 16.7 Buying and Selling at Securities Exchanges_
