The NYSE has a status called 'members'. A member firm is a company or individual who owns or leases a "seat". Only these member firms are allowed to buy and sell securities on the trading floor. The member firms must must meet rigorous professional standards set by the Exchange.

The number of seats has remained constant, at 1,366, since 1953. Since 1868 it has been possible for members to sell or lease their seats after a change in the rules of the exchange.

The NYSE can trace it's history all the way back to 1792 when the Buttonwood Agreement was signed to commit to the highest standards to investors and companies.

No matter how you may view it, the New York Stock Exchange has to maintain very high standards of ethics and conduct at very competitive prices. In the modern world, there are so many global companies with a 'foot' in many financial centres that it would be relatively easy for them to uproot and move to a new more competitive location.
