@blueveinedthrobber,
What is the profit scheme for Visa or Mastercard to have their name on almost every credit card in the world? They take a very very tiny bit from every purchase made using their cards. Very small fees ADD UP QUICKLY on a global scale.
I'm assuming whomever is the managing company will be taking its nibble out of every stock transfer, sale, etc... taking place on the NYSE. Plus whatever exorbitant fees it wants to charge for new companies to list themselves on the NYSE. Big business. Not necessarily transparent to the outside public but I'm sure if you're willing to work for it, the information can be made public but at the speed of a slow bureaucratic style request.
