Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.MERRILL LYNCH, Goldman Sachs Group and Bernard L Madoff Investment Securities plan to start an electronic auction market for stocks, potentially heightening the pressure on established markets such as the New York Stock Exchange.
The three brokerages said they have formed a company called Primex Trading that would offer anonymous electronic trades starting at the end of the second quarter of 2000. The service will be available to individual and institutional investors, through brokers.
