Explanation

The American Stock Exchange (AMEX) was nicknamed the 'Little Board' or ' curb exchange' because it historically operated outdoors on the street curb before moving indoors. This contrasted with the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), which was nicknamed the 'Big Board' due to its larger size and prominence. AMEX was acquired by NYSE Euronext in 2008 and is now part of NYSE Amex Equities. The answer is the American Stock Exchange.
