Your Money Bus Rang the Closing Bell at the NASDAQ on October 20th!
Representatives had a blast in New York City yesterday as we closed the NASDAQ at 4 pm ET. It was great to see Michael Joyce of the NAPFA Consumer Education Foundation and Brian Stimpfl of TD AMERITRADE Institutional say a few words about the tour then ring the bell. CNBC and Fox Business News both showed our group and the tower in Times Square had the ringing live.
Our thanks go out to everyone at the NASDAQ, especially Margaux Schroeder, for making this happen!
