Sports said that Tuesdays and Saturdays are the busiest days throughout the state.

Q: Isn't a corporation like Kraft with a high market capitalization required to list with the New York Stock Exchange? Can any corporation just sort of up and jump ship to another exchange at any time?

—Lance DeLoach, Thomaston

A: Companies aren't required to list on any exchange because of market cap. Even if the market cap is high enough, the company must meet other criteria to be listed. If it meets that criteria, the company would then decide where it wants to be listed. NYSE, which is sometimes referred to as the "Big Board," and NASDAQ wage what The Wall Street Journal has called a "fierce competition" for companies with promotions and other incentives. Facebook was heavily courted by both exchanges before going with NASDAQ.
