NYX AND CRAMER GETTING HIGH THIS WEEK BEFORE EARNINGS?: Even higher than Lindsey Lohan was last week?





The countdown has begun. The earnings report for NYSE EURONEXT, which is highly anticipated, will be released on this Thursday August 2, 2007. The big NYX fans, the Cramer loyalists, and now even some major analysts are thinking that NYX could go higher even faster than Lindsey Lohan on crack. There are also some skeptics out there that still believe that the stock is overvalued. Jim Cramer, a prophet to some, has taken a big hit by proclaiming it his growth stock of the year. Even John Thain of the NYSE EURONEXT has become a verbal punching bag on the message boards. People have rumored that there is manipulation taking place which is forcing the stock down, while some people are blaming management for not doing something fast enough to alleviate the shareholders worries. Recently, the skeptical voices are being drowned out by the steadily growing amount of support for NYX. This following week has become the climactic event of the summer for NYX shareholders. So what is all the big fuss about leading up to NYX earnings? Is NYSE EURONEXT really worth all of the hype?

Many think that NYSE EURONEXT is just a stock exchange. However, the NYSE is something far greater than the world largest international electronic exchange. It truly is a symbol of America and our way of life. This summer the NYSE has announced that it will be preserving a larger section of the floor for floor trading. Much of the space has already been taken away to make room for the new electronic system.They were planning on removing all floor space yet they realized that the NYSE floor is a historic piece of America where dreams have been made . They know that especially the name brand and image together of the NYSE is a priceless asset of the historic company. Surely this wise decision to save a worldwide symbol will benefit NYSE EURONEXT for generations to come. The true value of floor traders became evident this February when the new electronic system failed to handle the volume correctly. Today those problems are a thing of the past. This Thursday during the sell off, NYSEEURONEXT handled a record "6 billion trades as the market plunged". And that is not even close to the only astonishing record that NYSE EURONEXT has broken these past two quaters.

Leading up to this seasons earnings report, NYSE EURONEXT has shown some phenomenal numbers. EURONEXT, which is thought to be where NYX stock will gain its growth from, has revenue from cash transactions "up 26.1% on the same period in 2006". NYSE is "up 15.4% on the same month last year" as well.With it's constant record breaking volume s and cash transactions there is no doubt as to why people are getting excited about this 2Q earnings report. Here is the breakdown for the NYSE EURONEXT revenue for this quarter.

* Derivatives: 22%
* European Cash trading: 16%
* US cash trading: 11%
* Listing fees: 13%
* Market data: 15%
* Other: 23%.

Note the percentage from European cash trading which will continue to grow as it has proven this quarter. This seems like a golden quarter for the new NYSE EURONEXT. Maybe that is why it has begun to finally receive upgrades this past week. So is NYX worth all the hype? We will have to see this Thursday. Surely if things dont go right this week Cramer will lose some of his followers, and the Cramer haters will be rubbing the disappointment in their faces. Cramer will be forced out of sorrow to drink a bottle of Drano sitting on his dirty linoleum floor. However, it seems more possible that Cramer will be dug out of his NYX hole. With these record breaking numbers it is hard for anybody to deny that NYSE EURONEXT is all about tremendous growth possibilities. We may just see Cramer's wish come true this Thursday. We know that everyones fingers are crossed.
