 On
April 12, Cornerstone New Jersey members are invited to an
exciting program at the
New
York Stock Exchange (NYSE), the financial
epicenter of the world. Program highlights include greetings
from NYSE CEO John Thain; a behind
the scenes VIP tour of the NYSE, an economic forecast panel
discussion focusing on the national and local economies, a
briefing from a CNBC reporter, and participation in the
closing bell ceremony. The event is being
hosted by Art Ryan, the Chairman and CEO of Prudential
Financial, Inc.
The NYSE is the world’s leading and most technologically
advanced equities market. On an average day, 1.61 billion
shares trade on the NYSE.
Once in New York at 10:30 a.m., we will start the day with a brunch at Delmonico’s,
the oldest continually operating restaurant in New York City.
This historic venue, minutes from the NYSE, has hosted
hundreds of notable individuals throughout its history, such
as Mark Twain, Charles Dickens, Abraham Lincoln, Andrew
Jackson, Andrew Carnegie, and The Prince of Wales.
Next, we will head to the prestigious Stock Exchange Boardroom
where John
Thain, CEO of the NYSE, will welcome us. That will
be followed by an economic forecast panel discussion featuring
Martin
A. Regalia, Chief Economist, U.S. Chamber of
Commerce; James
W. Hughes, Dean, Edward J. Bloustein School of
Planning and Public Policy; and Jason
Bram, Economist, Federal Reserve Bank of New
York’s Microeconomic and Regional Studies Function. The
session will focus on the national economy, as well as what is
specifically happening in the New York-New Jersey region.
While on break from reporting on the floor of the NYSE,
CNBC’s Bob
Pisani will stop by to update us on the latest
financial news of the day. We will then be treated to an
in-depth tour of the trading floor, as well as other VIP areas
of the NYSE. The group will be split up, allowing all NYSE
traded companies the opportunity to visit their trading booth.
To conclude, our group, led by Prudential Financial Chairman
and CEO Arthur F. Ryan, will ring the closing bell on the
trading day. All guests will receive a Closing Bell Medallion,
which commemorates our participation. We will leave New York
at around 4:30 p.m.
