AAPL had a nice reversal yesterday.

AAPL closed @ 85.75

The stock may have bottomed immediate term but it is not out of the woods yet. As such, i'm still shorting the stock on any rise. There are still alot of resistance upstairs.

I have a position in NYX and plan to hold it thru earnings. This is a longer term hold for me, at least thru 2007.

GOOG: if i be a bettin man, i say it closes above 515 today.

Thu Feb 01, 09:15:00 AM EST  
Blogger beanie11111 said...

As long as GOOG is leading today, i'd be wary about shorting techs in general.


As stated yesterday, i have a long position in both NYX and AAPL (among others). I'm staying long on both, and shorting AAPL when if there is good entry.

[Alot of brokerages do not allow going both long and short on the same stock. You can get around it by opening 2 accounts.)

Hi Beanie & Board,
AITX.OB: Found this about a month ago. Now at .90 from .50 in mid Jan. Interesting product. I don't have a position and I know Beanie doesn't play in the cat box with OB's but looks like some decent movement. Any thoughts?

But it's up to you.

If Cramer thinks that GOOG could get to 450, you can definately extrapolate that AAPL will see 80-82.

We gonna take opportunity tomorrow to short AAPL again on any rise.

markrat,

I think it may correct after earnings, but you oughta know that earnings plays are a crapshoot. I wish it would tank so i can add to my position. But if it gaps up, i wanna be there too, by holding a position. Holding no position is not a good play if you're planning on holding NYX for the longer term. If the stock gaps up, you'll be paying up.

do u agree with this beanie?




stockman201: I am using your two relevent post about the future estimates, useful comparisons, your intelligent post, and an excellent post has how Investors like you perform part of "DD" when it comes to investing.

Again, thank you for these post, because shorts will never really provide any factual data like you have provided here.

In Thain we trust by delivering the bulls with massive capital gains as LONG TERM INVESTORS, and don't worry about short term price movements that are out of favor.

===================================================== =====



If you want to run a comparison you have to compare it to CME, not big cap tech or telecom, the NYSE does not sell silicon wafers or fiber optic phone lines.

CME:

Q1 '03 Rev 136 mill .77 EPS
Q2 '03 Rev 142 mill 1.03 EPS
Q3 '03 Rev 135 mill .93 EPS
Q4 '03 Rev 132 mill .87 EPS

Q1 '04 Rev 166 mill 1.35 EPS
Q2 '04 Rev 187 mill 1.66 EPS
Q3 '04 Rev 192 mill 1.72 EPS
Q4 '04 Rev 188 mill 1.64 EPS

Q1 '05 Rev 214 mill 2.04 EPS
Q2 '05 Rev 239 mill 2.36 EPS
Q3 '05 Rev 234 mill 2.22 EPS
Q4 '05 Rev 233 mill 2.18 EPS

Q1 '06 Rev 263 mill 2.61 EPS
Q2 '06 Rev 295 mill 3.12 EPS
Q3 '06 Rev 275 mill 2.95 EPS
Q4 '06 Rev 281 mill 2.91 EPS

This is organic growth and cost cutting only at the CME. NYX merged with AX and now Euronext, the cost savings are HUGE and it all falls to the bottom line. Now, about Volume, here are some volume stats and studies:

According to Goldman Sachs, exchanges that have switched to electronic trading have seen trading volume increase by an average of 90% in the four years since electronic trading was launched. http://cramersez.com/

NYX Volume benchmarks: http://www.nyse.com/about/history/102222...

1 million 1886
5 million 1928
10 million 1929
50 million 1978
100 million 1982
500 million 1987
1 billion 1997
2 billion 2001
3 billion 2005





CME is the model to watch. In the 4 yrs since they went public they've more than doubled Revenue and more than tripled EPS. How did they do this? Cost cutting and margin expansion and now they are merging with BOT to continue the cost cutting synergies. CME still carries a 50+ multiple.

NYX's EPS is going to grow even faster than CME's did becuase of:

1) organic growth thru electronic trading (hybrid) in addition to a strong market in general

2) cost cutting synergies from AX and now Euronext

3) new products, cross listings etc...

NYX:
Q1 '06 478 mill .24 EPS
Q2 '06 659 mill .39 EPS
Q3 '06 602 mill .43 EPS
Q4 '06 .46 Estimate, will probably come in a touch higher

2007: 2.27 estimate, this is a very conservative number taken from the S-4 filings with the SEC. Thain isnt stupid, they low balled all the cost cutting numbers and revenue projections.

2008: I havent seen any estimates for '08

2009: Cramer is sticking to his $12 EPS. This is a very aggressive number but even if they only do $10 EPS that kind of growth will carry a multiple similar to CME which is 50+ and that gives you $500 a share in '09 even if you cut these numbers down to say $8 EPS and a 40 multiple you still get $320 a share. No matter how you slice it NYX is not only going higher, its going MUCH higer.

i just worry that by 2009 the multiple will not be as high
