Talk:Toronto Stock Exchange

Toronto Stock Exchange
I'm pretty sure that NASDAQ has a larger trading volume than the TSX, making it "the largest stock exchange in North America to choose a floorless, electronic (or virtual trading) environment". The NASDAQ's inception date (1971), as a digital marketm is also well before the time the TSX went digital (1997).

TSX
The NASDAQ is not a stock exchange but an OTC market place with a central quotation system. The contra party to all orders is a market maker and client orders do not get posted to the book. It is an over the counter marketplace as opposed to a stock exchange. Therefore, the TSX was the largest North American exchange to abandon the trading floor. It is true that the NASDAQ far exceeds the TSX in tading volume and market capitalization, and even NYSE in volume of shares traded.

Comparing Dow Jones Industrial Average and the TSX Composite Index
It seems to be a rather meaningless comparison, so I'm going to remove it for the time being.

opening paragraph redundant
says third largest twice and other things twice//////////////////

What about the TSE?
An article about the Toronto Stock Exchange is deficient if it doesn't have a single mention of the TSE. It was renamed from the TSE to the TSX only in 2001, which means that it was known as the TSE for more than 123 years. The history portion of this article should be written to acknowledge the TSE as the historical name that it was. I know nothing of stocks and markets so I won't make the changes myself, but I remember well the traditional name for this entity and emplore somebody to make the revisions.

TSX Sub-Indices
Is there a source for the sub-indices? Is it useful to have that information here?24.81.98.134 20:13, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Technology Used
Are there any confirmed reports on the technology used in the TSX? I heard it was a custom application running on Linux and UNIX servers. Is this true? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.221.94.160 (talk) 07:45, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Odd emphasis
Why does the article specifically mention the 1999 appointment of Barbara G. Stymiest as president and CEO? They've no doubt had many others in that job, and the article doesn't mention the others. Is she the current president and CEO? Is she more notable than the others for some other reason? 184.94.124.236 (talk) 12:41, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I believe that she is more notable because she was the first female president of any stock exchange in the world. I know that this is really late, but in case you're still on Wikipedia.... :)

YBM Magnex International Inc
WP has no article on YBM Magnex International Inc, yet this TSX fraud must be great interest given the prior issues with other Canadian exchanges.

List Standards
I'll be maintaining the list of companies with the following standards:
 * Only one share class per issuer (so the banks with many preferred shares are only listed once). The symbol listed is the primary symbol.
 * No ETFs
 * No structured financial/investment companies (e.g. Aberdeen Asia-Pacific Income Investment Company Limited)

The idea is that each entry could have an unique Wikipedia article, even if it doesn't yet have one. -Mparrault (talk) 16:38, 19 January 2018 (UTC)

Updated TSX place to 10th largest
Updated TSX as the 10th largest stock exchange by market cap, as is mentioned in this Wikipedia article. One of the sources in that article being "[|Top 10 Stock Exchanges in the World 2023]". Edu Dwar. 14 August 2023. Retrieved 2023-08-14. CraftierBark8 (talk) 07:18, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
