| BUY | 306.500 | Charles Bobrinskoy | Merging with the Chicago Board of Trade. Great company with a great upside potential from all of the derivatives that need to go on to an exchange. A lot of talk of how there is going to have to be central clearing on a lot of these contracts. Great growth business. Huge competitive advantages. There is risk because current earnings are not that big. | 2008-11-14 | |

| TOP PICK | 558.740 | John Manley | This is the exchange that trades futures and options. They are in a bid now to buy the Chicago Board of Trade. Sees the consolidation in this area being very positive. Thinks the next resistance level is $580. Earnings come out on April 24, so wait for that. Because it is expensive, he would play it with options. | 2007-04-16 | |

| TOP PICK | 220.250 | David Burrows | A pure play on trading volumes in equity markets as well as commodity markets. Feels we're in a bull market on commodity prices. Seeing increased amounts of contracts that are being traded regularily. As continued interest in basic materials moves on, there'll be increased trading volumes. | 2004-12-21 | |

| BUY | 222.410 | David Burrows | Likes capital markets. Trades similarily to the way the TSE shares trade. Benefits from the increased interest in commodities. Volumes are up about 30% this year. | 2004-12-10 | |
| | |
| DON'T BUY | 135.420 | Laura Wallace | Has come off partly due to trading activity. Earnings were a little disappointing. Would look at something that gives you a little more diversification such as banks, Alcan or oils. | 2004-08-09 | |
