German takeover of NYSE seen next week
OPS_admin | Feb 12, 2011 | Comments 0
The board of NYSE Euronext is expected to meet on Sunday to discuss a planned takeover by Deutsche Boerse and a deal announcement is likely to come by Tuesday, according to news reports.
Deutsche Boerse and NYSE Euronext said on Wednesday they were in advanced talks to merge, just hours after London Stock Exchange unveiled a bid for Canadian market operator TMX Group Inc.
Other exchanges said they were considering striking their own deals or looking to take advantage of the distraction, in early signs of ripples through the world’s capital markets.
CBOE Holdings Inc, IntercontinentalExchange Inc , BATS Global Markets and Chi-X Europe all weighed in Friday on the deals that would see Europeans acquire the New York Stock Exchange and the Toronto Stock Exchange.
“Every exchange that wasn’t involved in the two mergers — the four that were not involved — had to at lunch on Wednesday be asking themselves, ‘Should I be involved in some way?’ and calling their bankers and thinking strategically,” said Alan Dean, CBOE’s chief financial officer.

OPS: So let’s extrapolate. We have been programmed for years to think that the NYSE = the US Economy. e.g. When the NYSE went up we were told that the ‘Great Recession’ was over and the recovery was over and the US Economy was healthy again. It wasn’t true because there are still no jobs in this country and the number of good paying jobs is the basis for the economy not how well the Casino on Wall Street is doing. But I digress. So if the NYSE = Us Economy, then the Germans are going to control the US Economy? And the Fascist Oligarchy is OK with that?

Who will you vote for this year: Big Oil, Big Casinos, or Wall Street?
Billionaire hedge fund manager - and primary contributor to Rick Santorum's Red, White, and Blue SuperPAC - Foster Friess let the truth slip out about politics in this post-Citizens United age during an interview with Politico. Friess was among several billionaires who attended the Koch brothers secret meeting last month where over a hundred million dollars was pledged to beat President Obama.Trying to get other oligarchs on the side of Rick Santorum - Friess said, "There isn't a person at the Koch brothers events who would not get a good return on their investment by investing in [Santorum] as president, because of what they believe about the free enterprise system." The key word there: investment. These aren't campaign contributions - these are investments that millionaires and billionaires are making to keep their tax breaks, their subsidies, and their lax regulations in place.We no longer have actual people running for President - we have a few very, very rich people like Friess and the Kochs investing in stooges to do their bidding - and hoping to see major returns in their bank accounts. So who will you vote for this year? Big Oil, Big Casinos, or Wall Street?-Thom(Who will you vote for this year? Tell us here.) -

The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.
