This stock has been a house of pain for me.  I bought some at 100, 95, 89, 85.  I sold the 85 lot at 92-93.  Can any one tell me why is this stock keeps getting hammered after reporting a record year.  Plus it has Euronext and with the weaking of the dollar, the repatriation of Euros to US$ by itself is a good 10% gain.  I will buy some if it goes to $70 and hope for a bounce to 95 like it did a few months ago.  I guess recession talks do not help either.  What do you guys think?

If it were myself, I'd hang in there for a while.  I think you'll be rewarded for your patience.  Since exchanges make money based on trading volume,  I'm guessing there's some sentiment that there will be a slowdown in trading volume this year - especially with all the recent talk of a looming recession.   If anything,  with all the volatility we've seen these past few month,   I would think trading volumes would increase rather than decrease.   Of course, this is all just speculation on my end.    I never dabbled in the financial sector myself.  I'm mostly stick with retail and tech ( since those are the industries I'm most familiar with ).

Thanks for the input Upod.  It does make since that volumes will increase in a volatile market since people have to buy and sell to make the market volitile in the first place.  I know they make money in other ways besides trading, but I forgot what they were.  There is no way I am going to sell, in fact I may buy more close to 70.  Everytime I panicked and sold, I lost money and watch the stock go up 3-6 months later.  Not making that mistake anymore, especially when the company is doing so well.  Just wished the P/E wasnt so high.

That would be great if they buy AMEX.  I think NYX should hit 95-100 by the end of 08 or early 09.

 By the way I own shares of NYX.

The markets just don't make sense right now.  My belief is the media is to blame, it seems like all we hear day in and day out is recession, recession, recession or fear of recession.  Of course I think that's leading to a lot of good stocks being dealt undeserved price stocks because of the herd mentality to panic and run that seems pervasive at the moment.

This stock is a big big disapointment.  The recession talks do not help build consumer confidence which helps the economy to go into deeper recession. 

Anyways, back to this stock.  With record transactions, the darn company still reported horrible numbers.  Euronext is kicking butt, but NYSE is sucken bad.  I advise all to not buy until they show some improvements given that the CEO is fairly new.  The guy has to control expense and I hope he starts before the next qtr report.  I unfortunately own shares in this company and have no choice to hold until there is a clear indication which way this company is heading.
