AMEX specialists in temporary specialist posts made available by the NYSE will trade those securities on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).

Although the main building, trading floor and trading systems of the AMEX remain functional following the attack on New York?s financial district, its proximity to the disaster area, and subsequent access and safety issues, require a move to new trading locations.

AMEX registered options traders and specialists will be allowed to trade options on the floor of the Philadelphia Stock Exchange (PHLX) under PHLX’s rules beginning Monday.
