You might be interested:

BUY
This stock has been in a major uptrend. Believes you should stay with it. The stop loss should be around $61-62. Go with it.
BUY
This is now the New York Stock Exchange. As long as you have a bull market and a lot of new issues, that is great for the indices.
COMMENT
The stock has had quite a run and they prefer buying a stock when it is out of favour and hope that it will run up. Looking to buy after a company has moved is questionable. Doesn't know this company.
BUY
When the merger with the New York Stock Exchange is completed on Feb 3, which is like the IPO of a new company. Similarly to the Toronto stock exchange this should increase in value.
BUY
This holding gets you right into the shares of the New York stock exchange on a one for one basis.
COMMENT
There were a lot of people speculating on the NYSE IPO by buying these shares. The problem was, they were paying a premium.
TOP PICK
The only way you can buy futures shares of the NYSE when it becomes a corporation. Sometime, near the end of January, they'll start moving into the corporate structure and the IPO phase. You will get one share of the new stock for each one of these you hold and will only be allowed to trade on a restricted basis for the first 1/2 years.
BUY
The only good way of getting into the mass hysteria surrounding the going public of the NYSE.
WEAK BUY
This is really a play on the public issue of the NYSE. They are trying to merge the American Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange together. There is some opposition to it, but if it happens, this is a way to be a player in the IPO of the NYSE. You are paying a premium.
WEAK BUY
New York Stock Exchange plans to merge with this company. Since the announcement, share have been trading on either side of $40. Expects the deal will be approved in the new year and if so, this stock will probably be worth around $50. If the deal doesn't go through, it could drop back to $18.
TOP PICK
An electronic trading company. Going to merge with the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) which is going from non-public to public.
