WALL STREET AUCTION
There are over 27 million people being trafficked into slavery today.
www.freedomforall.org
4.4 million women and men are victims of sex traffickers in the US alone.
The average age of a sex trafficking victim is 12 years old.
Women, men, girls and boys in slavery today are often deceived by dishonest labor brokers promising a better life and salary, or pimps posing as a boyfriend.
People often do not realize they have been trafficked until it's too late. The slave holders steal passports. The victims are not paid, and work under the threat of violence without the ability to walk away.
The average cost of a slave in the 1800s was over $50,000 USD.
Today, you can buy a slave for as little as $90 USD.
Today, slavery is illegal everywhere, but happening all around us. Modern Day S...

Wolf Of Wall Street’s Wrecked Lamborghini Countach Heading To Auction
This heavily damaged 1989 Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniversary was driven by Leonardo DiCaprio in the famous crash scene
Three months ago, RM Sotheby’s announced that it would be auctioning off one of the two Lamborghini Countach models used in The Wolf of Wall Street. That car was used for some of the film’s glamour shots but was not the hero car that Leonardo DiCaprio crashed while recreating a scene of Jordan Belfort on quaaludes. That very car is now heading to auction.
The extensively damaged 1989 Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniversary is being auctioned off by Bonhams at its Abu Dhabi auction on November 25. This will be the first time the car has been offered through a public auction since the film, and is in the same condition it was at the conclusion of the Hollywood hit. It is ...

Wall Street Auction - a Human Trafficking PSA
It's hard to imagine human flesh being auctioned right under our very noses, but this short film from the Freedom for All initiative puts the evil out in the open on Wall Street. It does, in fact, happen in the shadowy underworld occupied by human traffickers and you will see it in its most disgusting form in this mini-film.
Ntropic dived in to edit the final footage into a compelling look at public reaction to the sins of human trafficking. 27 million people are trapped in various forms of labor trafficking and sexual exploitation.
Take notice and help us fight back.

Wall Street Stock Exchange Bull: First-To-Auction Prototype of Symbolic Hallmark
One of 10 known 14-inch bronze prototypes of Manhattan’s 18-foot Charging Bull created by sculptor Arturo Di Modica hammered for $37,500 in Heritage Auctions’ Fine & Decorative Art Auction on Dec. 8-10, 2017 in Dallas. The auction marked the first time any of the bulls have been sold publicly.
The original three- and one-half ton bronze sculpture was left by Di Modica under the New York Stock Exchange holiday tree before dawn on Friday, December 15, 1989, as a Christmas present for New Yorkers and an ailing Wall Street. The Charging Bull was not only a symbol of hope for the return to a bull market, but also a larger gesture to celebrate the dynamic spirit of New York City.

What is an English auction?
An English auction is a process in which a product or an item is listed for sale, and people bids to purchase the thing.
The seller sets a reference price, and the bidders bid in ascending order until no more bids are made.
Examples
We have mentioned an example of an English auction in the video. Check it out to get a better understanding of the process.
Types
There are two types of English processes. One, which gets over in a single day. And, second, which goes for a couple of days.
English auction bidding strategy
There are two commonly followed bidding strategies:
Price step building
Higher price or lighthouse bidding
Drawbacks of an English auction
Firstly, the entire arrangement for the bidding process costs money, and the auction houses may sometimes be very expensive.
Secondly, since the higher price limit is not set, bidders can bid at any high price, cutting out smaller bidders.
Finally, the legalities and rules that regulate these processes may sometimes be too much to deal with.

What is an auction market?
You might know an auction market where a seller keeps something for auction to which buyers put in their bids. Whoever has the highest bid gets to buy it.
The same thing happens in the financial markets too. Buyers and sellers quote their price for buying or selling the financial assets, and the transaction is completed just when there is a match between the prices.
(Explained in detail in the video)
How does the auction market process work?
The entire process of an auction is simple. On the one hand, buyers put in their buy orders for the financial asset, also known as bid. On the other hand, sellers put in their sell orders, also known as ask.
Once the bid and the ask price match, the transaction is complete.
(Explained in detail in the video)
Examples
The Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) and the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) still operate the open outcry trading system where the auction process happens as traders shout their bids and ask prices.
The trading that happens on computers also happens through the auction system only. However, the electronic method has some advantages: it costs less, execution is better and faster, and there is less manipulation compared to the open outcry system.
Auction market vs dealer market
In an auction market, buyers and sellers quote their offers, and the transaction happens when their orders match. In a dealer market, the dealers specify a price at which the financial asset shall be sold or bought.
In an auction market, there is a plain matching of orders after some price discovery takes place. In the dealer market, the dealer is a market maker as they are creating liquidity and transparency in the market.
In the auction market, all types of securities are traded, equities, futures, and options. In contrast, the dealer market is the place for the OTC securities market and government securities market.

One of 10 known 14-inch bronze prototypes of Manhattan’s 18-foot Charging Bull created by sculptor Arturo Di Modica hammered for $37,500 in Heritage Auctions’ Fine & Decorative Art Auction on Dec. 8-10, 2017 in Dallas. The auction marked the first time any of the bulls have been sold publicly.
The original three- and one-half ton bronze sculpture was left by Di Modica under the New York Stock Exchange holiday tree before dawn on Friday, December 15, 1989, as a Christmas present for New Yorkers and an ailing Wall Street. The Charging Bull was not only a symbol of hope for the return to a bull market, but also a larger gesture to celebrate the dynamic spirit of New York City.
Initially the Stock Exchange treated the overnight installation as a stunt and removed the bull to storage by the end of the day. The New York Post famously headlined, “Bah, Humbug N.Y. Grinches Can't Bear Christmas Gift Bull.” Mayor Ed Koch and Parks Commissioner Henry Stern arranged for the gift to become a public monument at Bowling Green, where it still serves today as a Wall Street talisman.
As Di Modica was solving the engineering feat of his monumental Wall Street Charging Bull figure, he made a series of 10 maquette-size bulls to work out design, massing and foundry issues. The examExhibitionple offered here is from this early series and was purchased from di Modica in 1988 by his friend and fellow sculptor Leon Hariton (New York, 1920-2015). Hariton and di Modica first crossed paths working on bronze pours at the Domenico Ranieri Art Foundry in Manhattan, and they shared a decades-long friendship. This lot is the first of this important Charging Bull prototype series ever to be offered on the public auction market.
