NYSE Euronext (NYX)

Looks like the winner in the group

Great Growth is comming

With the Euronext merger set to close in the second quarter of 2007, there is significant room for cost-cutting and increased revenue from making trade even more electronic.

Old in the mind but still a contrarian in the heart.

The New York Stock Exchange Group is truly preparing for the onslaught of electronic trading that is taking place. They are committed to becoming the largest securities trading exchange in the world. I think they will succeed.

I'm a stockmarket fiend so its only natural I would pick an exchange - seems to be pretty good value for money at this price.

As the sector consolidatesthe moves they are making puts them in a very good position to be one of the majr players plus they make money whether trades are buys or sells.

Efficiencies will come with time.

Another exchange, could take advantage of new developments in industry, for the growth they have had, I think this price level is attractive, I think everyone got really freaked out recently, with Bear Stearns, and I think it has had a ripple-effect through to alot of these other, attractive companies, and it has hurt them without a real reason besides fear of risk. There is risk with these companies, but higher risk means higher reward and I think there are more positives than negatives in alot of these companies that will push prices up eventually.

NYX will grow because the market requires fast updates and responses.

Buy and hold for ever.

Poised to benefit from massive trading in the financials. Modest valuation on current earnings.

Oversold. This is a stock that is hard to value and has been punished for it. I have read otehr posts and agree with many of the positive ones. This business is not going away. This is a stock that will take years to reach fair valuation. I do not know the value of this stock, but it is higher than the current price. I estimate a multiple of 2x to 3x.

One warning I see is that I believe that this will be a trainl-blazing stock. They are trying to get ahead of the curve. Ultimately, I believe that they will be too slow and overrcome by another group. That day is in the future, but I do not think anyone can guess when. In the mean time, this stock will hold a place that is difficult to replace due to its connections and name.

Mergers = less competition. Bigger slice of a growing pie = room for error. Meaning, even if the company makes few mistakes, they'll be okay, if they stay focused. Now, the stock is cheap enough to take a chance on that "if", i.e: risk/reward.
