American Stock Exchange:-

The American Stock Exchange (AMEX) is the second largest floor-based stock market in the United States, providing common stocks, index shares, and equity derivative securities. Trading at AMEX is conducted through an enhanced centralized system that integrates the speed of computer delivered orders in a liquid market driven by customer demand. Like the NYSE, AMEX is an auction based stock market with specialists overseeing the process of bid and sell orders.

In 1998 AMEX merged with NASD, but continues to operate as a separate entity. For this reason, AMEX has its own Web site that provides historical and current market information, as well as regulatory rules and membership requirements. You can view and download both AMEX and NASDAQ securities. For tracking and investment purposes, you’ll find updated charts and tables providing the status on various indices, and other market indicators.
