This was not news. It was announced about a year ago. AX had already moved from 20 to 70 and down to 64.25.

What happened late yesterday was just the closing of the merger.

There is a pending secondary to allow NYSE former seat holders to sell $2 billion of stock, so there is what some think is an overhang.

The "news" (not news but a column) yesterday online was how at 64.25 it was 110 times earnings and overpriced. Some people thought it would fall back toward 50.

If you veto NYX, I quit.

Today is Wednesday. The merger closed Tuesday. It's been in the papers. This was a share for share exchange, and a change of name. It was not a takeover offer on Friday with a pop on Monday.
