Germans to Buy NYSE; Hasselhoff to Chair Federal Reserve?

Gecko.jpg
Deutsche Boerse, the owner of the German stock exchange, is in talks to purchase the NYSE. Apparently they're taking "buy low" to heart. The Post reports that NYSE Euronet, current owner of the New York Stock Exchange, was going to reveal the news next Tuesday, but rumors forced them to release some marginal details about the move earlier.

These tidbits of info include:

  • Deutsche Boerse would own 59 to 60 percent of the company.
  • It would maintain headquarters in both New York and Frankfurt.
  • The chief executive of NYSE Euronet, Duncan Niederauer, would be its CEO, with Deutsche Boerse chief executive Reto Francioni its chairman.

Reports say the primary motivation behind this move is to compete with the CME group, the conglomerate that operates the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. If this impacts you personally, shouldn't you be reading the Wall Street Journal? Seriously, those guys eat this crap up. We're just going to show you the scene from Trading Places where Randolph and Mortimer Duke teach Eddie Murphy about commodities:

Now, that's analysis!

You can bet if the jews are selling out that they have a more efficient replacement or they will create conditions to make it worthless and will buy it back for pennies on the dollars. Germans are an arrogant people who will fall for the guile of a more crafty race of people.

And, with regard to the article, there should be no surprise here. The final -- or at least current -- global economic competition sees Germany and China as the only really serious contenders. The Chinese probably -- and wisely so -- see themselves already over-exposed to our failing economy in the U.S. Post-WWII Germany is not exactly characterized as being high-rolling gamers. Look at this as a carefully thought out and engineered play -- and stay tuned for the end game.

I have a Semitic linage, but I fail to see a racist motivation -- or a religious bigotry behind Apostate's comment ... perhaps inappropriately directed, but not racist or bigoted ... and I took no offense. Not trying to put words in Apostate's mouth -- nor to his/her pen/keyboard -- but I thing the remark was directed more toward the politics of Zionism of which I would say, "Do not attempt to manipulate global socio-political-economic matters and then hide behind the anti-Semitism card," and "You are what you eat; you become what you hate."

It's a well-known fact that the NYSE is run by Jewish Bankers. So I guess me pointing out this fact makes me a bigoted racist. Whatever...

I find it repugnant to see a racist remark on an issue like this

Why bring Jews into it? Are you a racist?

I'm not against all Jews. Just the ones who are out to rule the World, through the White House, Wall Street and Hollywood. President O-Blah-Blah is just their puppet. It would be too blatantly obvious to have a known Jew like Kissinger as President. And then there's aid to Israel, at a time when the US is a trillion feet under in the financial excrement. And then there's the mass-mugging against the Palestinians which has been going on for decades.I could go on and on. But checkout some of the articles at www.rense.com

I wonder what the Jews are making of this? I suppose they will be making more than one trip to the toilet this morning! I can just imagine Germans singing Deutschland Uber Alles, on the floor of the Wall Street exchange. It would make U-Boats in New York Harbour look like a non-issue

Apostate,your response is exactly the very same reason while we are going down the drain. Don`t you know that the whole world is paying (through currency exchange) for our spending and consume. Don`t you know that China buys all our "Junk " Treasury Bonds which may go bust one day. Don`t you know that most of the technology was and is obtained from Germany.Buddy, your response could let us think you could be a "redneck". Mature, go out and learn something before you open your mouth.MartHII
