This Day in Financial History


1938 - After a protracted war with the new U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the New York Stock Exchange finally recommends an internal reorganization that will install a board of governors, a salaried independent president and a specialized administrative staff.

On January 27, 1985, Coke announced plans to sell its all-American soft drinks in the Soviet Union. With the move, Coke belatedly matched Pepsico, who, twelve years earlier, had begun distributing its colas in the U.S.S.R. Source: www.history.com
