Will MtGox buy bitcoins from me? Will the NYSE buy shares from me?

Are these two things actually alike?

Will MtGox buy bitcoins from me?

AFAICT, yes.

Will the NYSE buy shares from me?

Yes, the NYSE is a building full of member broker dealers who will, in fact, buy shares from you when the proper conditions are met. (I.e., you need to be worth their time).
