Gary... Does this mean that QP will soon carry the European stocks as well?..Looks like they will be part of Nasdaq.
Get ready..the world is coming together. Would be nice if QP included Canadian stocks..as many are well suited for retirees with good divvys. http://www.ajc.com/business/content/business/stories/2007/05/26/bizbri efs0526a.html DEALS: Nasdaq to acquire European bourses Nasdaq, the largest electronic stock market in America, agreed Friday to buy OMX, the operator of seven Nordic and Baltic exchanges, for 25.1 billion Swedish kronor ($3.7 billion). Nasdaq offered 208.1 kronor ($30.41) a share in cash and stock, a 16 percent premium to OMX's closing share price in Stockholm, Sweden, on Thursday. The combined company, which will be called the Nasdaq OMX Group, will list more than 4,000 companies, including Microsoft and Nokia, with a combined market value of $5.5 trillion. The takeover gives Nasdaq, based in New York, access to stock and derivatives trading in Europe and the market for technology to run exchanges. It is the latest combination in a market that is consolidating to meet clients' demands to buy and sell stocks of companies anywhere in the world, at a faster pace, across different asset classes.
