Intercontinental Exchange Group

Is it possible to purchase the NYSE?  You might of heard of that question before.  It might not of sound that smart.  So, you ask shares of it or all of it?  Then, maybe the smart reply is that it’s not possible, because you can only purchase shares of it from the parent company, Intercontinental Exchange Group.  If that’s what you are talking about, then yes.  Currently, Vanguard is the top holder of the Intercontinental Group with roughly, 10% (Google.com).  

The second place is at 4.93%, and 80% of all of the holders are institutional investors with a concentration in investing firms.  So, it does sound bought.  But if you are a business student at college, and ask questions with some young words, there was an $11 billion bid from The Intercontinental Exchange, during 2011.  Come to think about, what company could keep up with this fast-paced arena?  If your RWA/$SEI or like, you might have the right solution.  Some touted that the technology/currency-like companies might overrule, because of their ability to facilitate trades and in mass volumes.

So, yes, there are some smart suggestions to a question that one might think is not.  To creatively think of a new world, when it’s the same one that was driven to a new point, from all of its history.  I guess our point in this blog entry is change taking place.  We want you to think of a new exchange, that some brilliant students suggest could mean a more efficient exchange.  I mean, we could see $100,000 robots that complete all of our tasks one day.  And Tovala might not be the only answer to life.  So, stick up for a student.  There are talks.  And in 2013, NYSE Euronext was acquired from them, Intercontinental Group, for $8 billion.  We really think they are crafting an idea for all types of investing.  Maybe it’s kind to just say, “You can invest in it.”
