Why NYX can be at 200 by Dec 07

post from another board...

First, It is not like we have not had this trail traveled already.

Chicago Merc Exchange (CME)
JAN 2003 $41 (IPO)
JAN 2004 $80
JAN 2005 $200
JAN 2006 $400
JAN 2007 $570 Today 20B market cap, EPS 10.87, DIV YLD (.4%)

So history repeats itself here, only with more profitable potential

New York Stock Exchange (NYX)
SEP 2004 $15 (IPO) operates the NY Stock Exchange and the Archipelago Exchange markets that provide trade execution of equity securities.
SEP 2005 $41
SEP 2006 $76
JAN 2007 $105 Today 16B market Cap, 0 Debt,

Today NYX is #23 of the IBD 100 with a bolded square around the stock indicating it meets IBD parameters as a buy right now especially given it completed a cup and handle, found support at the 10 week average and the handle is in week 7 (the minimum healthy consolidation before a sustained move up from there) Stocks that make this classic 7 week handle formation double on the next break out (IBD page B20) Institutional investors like to buy growing stocks on a pull back to their 10 week moving average. It hit the 10 week moving average on Friday and immediately found support. (Institutional buying) We can pull back to 100 and still be in a good technical buying range (100 -118 is the IBD buying range)

IBD creates their computer generated top 100 ranking each Monday based on the company’s profit growth, return on equity, sales growth and profit margins, and relative price strength in last 12 months.

IBD listed NYX as #23 this week, where as CME is not listed.

Supply/demand rating on the stock compares a stock’s float to its trading volume, from 1 to 99 with the most demand for a stock being rated as a 99.

NYX rates a demand of 97!

NYX reports 2 Feb. last qtr Earnings +139%, qtr before +282%, last qtr sales increased 33%, this qtr comes out 2 Feb.

Very likely that 2 Feb is catalyst for next run. Seems to be holding in 104 – 105 area. Could go down to 100 but unlikely. Looking for 130-140 by May, 200 by December.

NYSE vision: an exchange open 24 hours a day and part owner of exchanges around the world. Add a few more 000 after the 2.8Billion trades last Friday and the earnings will justify what stock price then?
