Map of the National Market System (IMAGE)
Caption
Looking a bit like a bowl of spaghetti, this map shows the general scheme of the US stock market -- formally known as the National Market System -- as described by a team of scientist at the University of Vermont and The MITRE Corporation. Spread out between four communities in northern New Jersey, and with many back-and-forth flows of information, some faster than others, this complex system has contributed to some investors seeing prices earlier than other investors.
