Either way, this is sort of out of the blue and could provide an overhang over the stock until cleared up. Also the stock is now firmly below its 200 day moving average, just like that! (CME). I dont follow NMX so I can't give you a take on that. CME is down to Jan sell off lows so it might be (for very risk tolerant) people worth a trade, but now there are 2 separate issues hanging over the stock and the market does not like uncertainty, so it could be range bound for a while. <BR/><BR/>******** <BR/><BR/>The U.S. Justice Department has called for change in financial futures exchanges, saying they should not own the trade clearing business as it inhibits competitionTraderMarkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06241756200482130281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2335748440449035592.post-12003683674395960632008-02-06T11:15:00.000-05:002008-02-06T11:15:00.000-05:00NMX, my faultStevehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13165617080116942791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2335748440449035592.post-90188868968152733332008-02-06T11:14:00.000-05:002008-02-06T11:14:00.000-05:00NYX is looking attractive even if not bought out by CME today; I heard they may try to stifel the M&A in exchanges, what's your take?Stevehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13165617080116942791noreply@blogger.com
