Iofina opening the London Stock Exchange on Friday, May 9, 2008.
Ringing the bell. The glowing spheres move up and down while the market is open each day.
Us with Julie & David Schneider. We have our hands on the globe/buzzer the guys pushed to open the market. This is what they call, "ringing the bell." Interestingly, after 9/11 happened over here, the London Stock Exchange went to an all-electronic system for safety reasons. They switched buildings in 2003 to a state-of-the-art facility where safety is their top priority. There are no longer traders on the floor, they are in various offices around the main lobby, and shortly after the opening we were all ushered into a private room.
Us with some of the fine folks who helped make this happen. Everyone worked hard and treated us so nicely. It was a wonderful experience. Now Lance says that the really hard work begins...
Richard Webster-Smith from the London Stock Exchange welcoming and congratulating Iofina.
