Why I could not pull the trigger even as I bang my head on my door. 35 PE and 29 forward PE with a 1.15 PEG is rather high. Heck, GS is 12.56, 10.97 and 0.74 Surely, GS won't grow as fast, 14.77% versus OXPS at 25.25, but OXPS trading at over twice the valuation. Also, TRAD is offering as much as OXPS in their platform and who's to say the NYX and CME won't do something of their own. I am just more afraid of 32 to 22 one day then the hope of 32 to 40. Paul
