no big deal. ownership of the exchange doesnt change the rules that the exchange need to follow and enforce. BTW, you do know that NYSE bought Euronext not too long ago so if it was OK for us to buy an European exchange then the reverse should be OK too – ie we free mkt

An influx of money from abroad that will likely get spent is always a welcome thing. The German Bourse is a well run company.
M&A continues to be very high and will be supportive of the stock market.
I’m not confessing to anything here about porn and prostitutes. Fortunately, I have a meeting now . . .
