When the Nasdaq was founded back in 1971, it was a niche stock exchange providing liquidity for small cap stocks that the NYSE didn’t want to cover, but today it has become the country’s most actively traded stock exchange and the preferred platform for the tech industry. On our MoneyTalk Moment in Financial History, Nathan and Steve tell the story of how the early innovations of the Nasdaq paved the way for the modern era of stock trading, and the surprising role that Bernie Maddoff played in making it all possible.
