NYSE Euronext (NYSE:NYX)

The economy is coming back

5% Yield, 5% yield and not overpriced

First of all, enjoy that inflation and treasury beating 5% yield, (beats many bonds too). Next, know that the NYSE Euronext (NYX) controls the equity markets of the the New York Stock Exchange, NYSE Euronext, NYSE Amex, NYSE Alternext and NYSE Arca. That's control of 1/3 of all equities traded on planet earth. The DB merger may not happen, but perhaps NYX shouldn't worry too much about that, and focus on it's current business. It has a very sustainable Payout Ratio of 49%. Net income is ticking upward and sales are out-pacing the S&P, Sales (5-Year Annual Avg.) coming in at a very respectable 22.06. Assuming they keep the dividend going, this is a definite Outperform.

BOSTON (MarketWatch) -- Given the stock market's weakness lately, many investors are wondering if they should be in the market at all. But if being "in the market" means buying shares of NYSE Euronext Inc. the world's premier venue for trading public companies, then indeed it's time to get out.

NYSE Euronext (NYX) is the Stupid Investment of the Week.

Stupid Investment of the Week showcases concerns and conditions that make a security less than ideal for the average investor, and is written in the hope that spotlighting trouble in one security will make problems easier to avoid elsewhere. While obviously not a purchase recommendation, the column is not intended as an automatic sell signal.

For NYSE Euronext, some of the problems facing the broad stock market are coming home to roost for the big operator of the markets. There is promising long-term potential, but the current valuations are high enough to put NYX into the category of "good company, bad stock" -- the kind of security where an investor who buys in at the wrong time is likely to take a beating and exit before long-term prospects pay off.

Makes money as long as stocks are trading, plus look at the dividend
