In this installment of This Week in Wall Street History, Todd M. Schoenberger spotlights a landmark moment: on January 4, 1865, the New York Stock Exchange took its first step into permanence—opening at 10–12 Broad Street, at the corner of Wall Street. Founded in 1792 under a buttonwood tree, the Exchange had operated from coffee houses and temporary venues until the rapid economic growth spurred post–Civil War made a permanent home essential. Discover how this move catalyzed structural innovations—from continuous trading and stock tickers to trading posts—and laid the architectural and technological foundations for today’s NYSE, the world’s largest and most iconic securities marketplace.

From coffee-house trades to architectural landmarks, the story of NYSE’s 1865 headquarters reveals how Wall Street became Wall Street. Subscribe to CrossCheck Media for more history that shapes today’s markets.

In this episode of This Week in Wall Street History, Todd M. Schoenberger shares the untold story behind Wall Street’s most recognizable statue — the Charging Bull at Bowling Green. Created by Italian-American sculptor Arturo Di Modica using $360,000 of his own money, the bronze beast was placed without permission outside the NYSE in December 1989 as a Christmas surprise and symbol of resilience after the 1987 crash. When the city removed it, public demand led to its reinstallation at Bowling Green, where it’s become an enduring emblem of financial optimism—and a global tourist draw.

Origin Story: The Charging Bull was sculpted by Arturo Di Modica and funded entirely out of pocket (approx. $360,000) as a heroic gift to New Yorkers following the stock market crash of 1987.

Guerrilla Installation: On the night of December 15, 1989, Di Modica and friends secretly placed the 7,100-lb, 11-ft bronze sculpture beside the NYSE Christmas tree without a permit.

Public Demand & Relocation: Though authorities impounded the statue, public outcry led Parks Commissioner Henry Stern and City Hall to re-install it at Bowling Green on December 20, 1989, where it remains today.

Symbolism & Cultural Impact: The Charging Bull now stands as an icon of market optimism, resilience, and American grit. Tourists flock to touch it for good luck; it has even appeared in films and spawned replicas worldwide.

Artistic Tensions: The later placement of the Fearless Girl statue near the Bull sparked debate about symbolism versus advertising. Di Modica criticized it, calling it a marketing ploy that overshadowed his original message of strength and hope.

In this episode of This Week in Wall Street History, Todd M. Schoenberger tells the story of how the U.S. stock market reacted to the attack on Pearl Harbor (December 7, 1941) and traces the price action in the days and weeks that followed. We compare that episode to how markets behaved after September 11, 2001—including the NYSE/Nasdaq shutdown and the dramatic reopening on September 17. Learn the key metrics (one-day moves, trading halts, sector winners and losers), why the market responses differed, and what history teaches investors about risk, liquidity, and policy backstops during national crises.

Pearl Harbor — Dec. 7, 1941

The attack occurred on a Sunday; U.S. markets were closed that day. On Monday, Dec. 8, 1941 (first trading day after the attack) the Dow opened down roughly 2.9% (sources vary between ~2.9%–3.5% for the immediate one-day decline). Over the following weeks the market experienced additional weakness but recovered the December losses within about a month as wartime mobilization reshaped the economy. Over the course of WWII the Dow eventually produced strong multi-year gains.

September 11, 2001

The NYSE and Nasdaq shut down on Sept. 11 and remained closed until Sept. 17—the longest U.S. market halt since the 1930s. When markets reopened on September 17, 2001, the Dow plunged 684 points (≈7.1%) on the first trading day back, with heavy losses concentrated in airlines, insurance, travel and leisure—while defense and security-related names saw gains. The Fed and Treasury acted quickly to supply liquidity and calm money markets.

Why the responses differed

Timing & context: Pearl Harbor happened before modern electronic markets, deposit insurance, and an institutionalized lender-of-last-resort—yet wartime production and fiscal stimulus converted the shock into a long-term economic expansion. The 9/11 attacks hit a highly interconnected, service-heavy economy; physical damage to the financial district plus fear of follow-on attacks prompted a multi-day market closure and a sharper initial drop when trading resumed.

Lessons for investors

Markets can react sharply in the short term but often look past shocks when economic fundamentals or policy responses change the trajectory (e.g., wartime mobilization, massive liquidity injections).

Sectoral impacts are uneven: transportation, travel, and insurance suffer most after attacks; defense, security contractors, and certain tech/pharma names can outperform.

Policy/market plumbing matters: modern backstops (Fed liquidity, deposit insurance, circuit breakers, electronic trading) change the shape and speed of recoveries compared with 1941.

In this episode of This Week in Wall Street History, Todd M. Schoenberger recounts the launch of the Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ) on March 10, 1999—an ETF that revolutionized access to technology investing by tracking the Nasdaq-100 Index. Discover how QQQ navigated the tech boom, the dot-com bust, and came back as a cornerstone of equity portfolios. We’ll explore how its structure, liquidity, and innovation-focused portfolio made it a pioneer among ETFs, and how it still stands tall in 2025—crossing $300 billion in assets, outpacing the S&P 500, and acting as a key barometer of tech-driven markets.

March 10, 1999: The Invesco QQQ ETF debuted, delivering a simple, tax-efficient, intraday track of the Nasdaq-100. It quickly became a favorite for exposure to tech and innovation.

Key milestones:

Within its first year, QQQ surged ~80% amid dot-com mania, but shortly after its first anniversary (March 10, 2000) it began the steep descent of the dot-com meltdown.

Over time, assets under management soared past $300 billion by late 2024, with cumulative performance since inception beating the S&P 500 by a wide margin.

QQQ in today's market:

As of Q2 2025, QQQ outpaced the S&P 500 by delivering an 18% annualized return, driven by dominant weights in sectors like tech and AI.

QQQ remains one of the most liquid and widely held ETFs, continuing to offer fast exposure to high-growth innovation trends.

Its story, from dot-com frenzy to today’s AI-driven re-rating, underscores how markets evolve—but fundamentals and sector concentration still dominate ETF outcomes.

In this episode of This Week in Wall Street History, Todd M. Schoenberger tells the story of the market panic that gripped New York in March 1907, the episode of the broader Panic of 1907 when runs on trust companies and failed market maneuvers snowballed into a full-blown liquidity crisis. Learn how the collapse of speculative schemes and the run on institutions like Knickerbocker Trust forced J.P. Morgan and private financiers to organize emergency lending — and how the crisis directly led to the creation of the Federal Reserve in 1913. We’ll also connect the dots to today: why shadow-banking vulnerabilities, leverage pockets, and liquidity stress still matter — and how modern central-bank tools and regulation have changed the playbook. Subscribe to CrossCheck Media for more history-packed market explainers and hit the bell so you don’t miss an episode. Advertisers: inquire at [email protected].  

What happened (March 1907): The Panic of 1907 featured runs on trust companies and a crisis of confidence after speculative attempts to corner markets went wrong; one flashpoint in March saw rapid withdrawals and market strains that required private-sector intervention. J.P. Morgan organized loans and coordinated bankers to stabilize reserves and restore confidence.

Metrics to drop into the script: the 1907 panic produced severe market declines and widespread bank runs across New York trust companies; the episode is widely credited with transforming a recession into a deeper contraction and motivating the Federal Reserve’s creation in 1913.

Why it matters today: 1907 resembles later crises (2008) in that both featured shadow-banking runs and fragile, lightly regulated intermediaries. The big difference now is an institutional lender-of-last-resort (the Fed), deposit insurance, stronger bank capital standards, and electronic market plumbing — but concentrated leverage, non-bank finance, and liquidity black holes remain a modern vulnerability. Use this history to frame modern debates about systemic risk, central-bank intervention limits, and how quickly markets can reprice risk during stress.
