The stock market contains a true order because it is a chaotic system, and Quantum theory teaches that whenever there’s a true natural chaotic system, there must be a natural order within it. The New York Stock Exchange is the world’s largest equities market. Some 3,000 companies now list over 200 billion shares, with a total market value of more than $12 trillion. The NYSE is an agency auction market. Buy and sell orders meet directly on the trading floor, and prices are determined by the interplay of supply and demand. The result is a complex, interrelated and chaotic system which is manmade but staggeringly complex. And it is now computer-directed. The story of the stock market lies in a vast string of numbers. If there is an order in this chaos, it remains thus far invisible. « Millions of human hands at work, billions of minds…a vast network, screaming with life : an organism. A natural organism. »
