The Glasgow Stock Exchange!

[SlideySam]

Can't wait to see our proud Scottish companies listed on our very own, grown-up stock exchange! :D

The Scottish Stock Exchange was a stock exchange which started trading on 2 January 1964 following a merger of the four main stock exchanges in Scotland: the Edinburgh Stock Exchange, Glasgow Stock Exchange, Dundee Stock Exchange, and Aberdeen Stock Exchange.[1] The main secretariat of the exchange was in Glasgow, while the Edinburgh, Dundee, and Aberdeen exchanges operated as local branches[2] until 1971, when the local exchanges closed completely.[3]

During the construction of the new Scottish Stock Exchange building in St George's Place, Glasgow, the exchange was housed in a converted warehouse on Ingram Street. The new building was opened after two years' work on 13 April 1971.[4]

In 1973, the Scottish Stock Exchange merged into the London Stock Exchange.[5]

And it's in London you'll find many of the overpaid spivs in sharp suits who don't actually create anything themselves talking deals worth millions.

How would it be different if we have our own?

Glasgow would become a financial centre. We'd be bringing home what London stole from us.

More wealth for Scotland.

Bring on your FUD.

Edinburgh is the financial centre in Scotland.
The "Glasgow stock exchange" - penny shares in Ibrox down; shares in Buckfast up.

;D

If the new stock exchange is in Glasgow, Glasgow will be the financial centre.

If you want to cash in, I'd recommend getting ready to rent an office as close to the new exchange as possible to get going with your high-speed skimming operation! :D
