DJ TRADING PLACES: Dow Jones Series On After-Hours Trading Dow Jones Newswires -- October 22, 1999 Once there was a time when the closing bell on the New York Stock Exchange floor meant stock trading was over for the day. Not anymore. A growing number of electronic communications networks offer investors the chance to buy and sell stocks after the traditional market close. The Chicago Stock Exchange is set to become the first exchange to allow after-hours trading, beginning Oct. 29. A host of traditional and online brokerages are planning to offer - or already have - access to late trading for their customers. In a series of articles, originally published Thursday and repeated Friday, Dow Jones Newswires reporters examine this phenomenal shift and try to demystify the after-hours trading world: The phrase "after-hours trading" is quickly becoming an integral part of Wall Street's vocabulary. But one of the most frequently asked question on Main Street is still "How do I do it"? Reporter Lynn Cowan explores what extended trading means for the individual investor, Wall Street and others. Options junkies may have to cool their heels for a bit if they want to trade after hours. Reporter Steven Sears looks at what the options exchanges are planning down the road.

The number of electronic stock trading systems continues to grow. Reporter Gaston Ceron takes a look at who they are.
