From a 10-year-old to a Muppet to a president-elect, NYSE bell-ringers range from famous to obscure

Associated Press  

The first guest invited to ring the bell to open trading at the New York Stock Exchange in 1956 wasn’t a company executive, a politician or a well-known celebrity. Billionaire businessman and former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Hollywood star Robert Downey Jr. have also rung the bell. President-elect Donald Trump joined that list Thursday when he opened trading at the famous stock exchange on Wall Street. Stock trading around the location of the NYSE’s current home has deep roots that trace back to the Dutch founding of New Amsterdam and when Wall Street had an actual wall.
