Wall Street is a street in NY that is the location of most of our stock exchanges - NYSE, AMEX, and NASAQ, among others. Sure they are run by people, but so is your local McDonald's. Whoa. You mean you DO know what Wall Street is? I didn't know that. Whenever I heard "Wall Street" I thought about Pink Floyd's "The Wall," wallpaper, or manhole covers. Finally looked it up in wiki and found this, "Over time, Wall Street became the name of the surrounding geographic neighborhood[2] and also shorthand (or a metonym) for the "influential financial interests" of the American financial industry" Didn't know that. Looks like you did. Kudos. Jim - Learn something new every day. Got to look up "metonym" tomorrow. |
