historic definition...

Post -- On the New York Stock Exchange a post is a standard or pillar rising from the floor to mark the place where a particular stock is dealt in. The New York Central post, for instance, is where New York Central & Hudson River Railroad stock is dealt in. At most posts two or more stocks are dealt in as there are not enough posts to allow one for each stock dealt in on the exchange.
