Kenny Polcari - 9/11 and the NYSE

"The fear was that the New York Stock Exchange was next, because when you think about America and you think about developed nations and developed markets, the New York Stock Exchange is a symbol. If nothing else, it's a symbol of America. It's a symbol of freedom. It's a symbol of capitalism. It's a symbol of the free world. Because if somebody really wanted to make a statement, I mean, they made a statement, but had they flown a plane into the Exchange, they would have brought this country and really the global financial markets to a standstill."
