Confusing
This article needs a better explanation of what it is and how the list of organisations are linked to it, I feel at the moment it provides no context and would confusing for most readers. Sargdub (talk) 02:10, 22 September 2014 (UTC)

History
I propose we add a historical section explaining how the NMS has been built over time.

Congress directed the SEC in 1975 to facilitate the establishment of a national market system for securities. The SEC was also directed to with with self-regulatory organizations in planning, developing, operating, or regulating a national market system(1). The primary self-regulatory organization at the time was the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), but in 2006 the NASD and NYSE member regulation group combined into the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) (2). After 2007, the NMS has been primarily managed by FINRA and Nasdaq.

Recopied text for readability
Hi, I'm trying to read the text above but the text is jumbled, so I'm going to recopy the portions of the 1975 bill below, unjumbled (it's easier to copy when the text is downloaded as a PDF from the link provided above):

National market system for securities, established. "(2) The Commission is directed, therefore, having due regard for the public interest, the protection of investors, and the maintenance of fair and orderly markets, to use its authority under this title to facilitate the establishment of a national market system for securities (which may include subsystems for particular types of securities with unique trading characteristics) in accordance with the findings and to carry out the objectives set forth in paragraph (1) of this subsection. The Commission, by rule, shall designate the securities or classes of securities qualified for trading in the national market system from among securities other than exempted securities. (Securities or classes of securities so designated hereinafter in this section referred to as 'qualified securities'.)
