You can't even count. NYSE is where most of our nation's investors die. Less and less wealth on the NYSE everyday. The current market cap of the Nasdaq Composite is $5.8 trillion out of a total listed U.S. stock market cap (that is, excluding fixed income, commodities, real estate etc.) of $14.2 trillion. This is according to a piece run on theStreet.com today by Jim Griffin at thestreet.com which it takes a subscription to see. If NYSE is where "most of our nation's corporate wealth lives", it's no longer by much. Still, it may well be so by a nose, I couldn't quickly run down the total NYSE cap. Subtract out the AMEX, and NYSE and NAZ are probably in the same ballpark with the NYSE a little larger. Kevin's assertion may be off, but it was certainly true for most of American history, and even now doesn't justify a snide and patronizing response. There are a lot of conservative elderly investors whose wealth is all in the NYSE. --QS
