a seat on the exchange

     A seat on the stock exchange allows the firm that owns it to trade--buy and sell-stock on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange--the NYSE. The firm buys the seat when one becomes available because someone is selling it. A seat on the exchange may cost millions--whatever the seller can get for it.
     The New York Stock Exchange is a famous building on Wall Street in New York. It's the "real" part of the movie Wall Street.
