La Bolsa de Madrid - 11/19/10 07:31 AM
Iīll be looking into this myself , but does anyone have any idea if itīs possible to visit the Bolsa de Madrid near the Ritz Hotel . Every morning , on TVE1 or TVE24 I see the glamorous reporter Gloria Prado reporting on the stock markets from what is an amazingly beautiful open hall .
In London , when I was a trader , the general public were able to visit the Stock Exchange and the LIFFE markets , though they werenīt allowed onto the floors themselves . I had a great experience visiting the CME and the CBOT in Chicago ( escorted ) and the Federal Reserve in New York . The Fed was interesting ... they were due to make a decision on interest rates .. I was in the Fedīs trading room with one of my brokers and a Fed trader . We asked him if he could give us some idea of what the Fed would be announcing . Needless to say ( with a laugh ) he declined to comment .
Any info on visiting the Bolsa de Madrid would be welcome .
