S&P INITIATES COVERAGE ON SHARES OF NYSE GROUP WITH BUY OPINION
S&P Marketscope - March 07, 2007 2:34 PM ET
NYX83.90 -2.44

We believe this operator of the NYSE and NYSE Arca exchanges is well positioned for an increasingly global competitive environment. We view as positive NYX's acquisition of Euronext, pending necessary approvals, and the product and geographic diversification it will bring. Despite the risks associated with integrating Euronext, rolling out hybrid trading, and implementing Reg. NMS, we see '07 as a positive transformational year for NYX. We estimate '07 EPS of $2.38, and '08's at $2.88. Our 12-month target price of $98 reflects a P/E of 41X our '07 estimate, a premium to peers.

SIDE NOTE***** did you take 5% gain in CWT like we recommended, it ended at 38.14+0.03 (+0.08%)....the diphilosphy of taking gains at 5% and 10% is there to LOCK IN PROFITS!

Ahead of the Upgrade - XOM & ISE

NEW YORK, March 6 (newratings.com) - In a research note published yesterday, analysts at Banc of America Securities reiterate their "buy" rating on Exxon Mobil Corporation (XOM.NYS). The target price has been raised from $80 to $85.
XOM 70.68+0.70 (+1.00%)

and.....
International Securities Exchange up 7% at $46.89
Banc of America Sec upgrades Neutral to Buy. BofA upgraded ISE to Buy from Neutral and raises their tgt to $58 from $56, saying they expect volume strength to continue for the near-term, and believe ongoing structural catalysts (increased institutional trading, penny pricing, portfolio margining), to help support volume growth in the event volatiliy subsides.

Weekend Upgrade and Watchlist Updates

Saturday Upgrade for MCO - we bought on the first dip, and held through the second, now with two upgrades we are looking for our 5% gain. NEW YORK, March 3 (newratings.com) - In a research note published yesterday, analysts at Bear Stearns upgrade Moody's Corp (MCO) from "peer perform" to "outperform."

WATCHLIST Updates: We try to bring three new buys per week, and from our last post we gave a few sectors to avoid...we searched long and hard for some safer plays and looked for high dividend...Exxon Mobile (XOM) is down 10%, we feel that gas prices are on the rise watch to add under 70...&.... California Water Service Group (CWT) was recently upgraded and was down 4%+ on Friday...watch to add under 37. AND last we like Union Pacific (UNP) another play on rising gas prices...watch to add under 97.

Ohhh what a beautiful day!..................... Bulls see RED!... We see Scarlett!

WORST DAY SINCE 2001! and we love it!




The market is having a beautiful down day as news of slowing growth in CHINA and softer commodities prices weights down the DOW. Our baby MPEL is getting trampled in the wake...and NYX is back in the 80's. Can you say BUYING OPPORTUNITY?!

On days like today we look through our DIPfolio for "back up the truck" BUYS. One that stands out is AMGN @ 64.53, near its 52-week low of 63.52 on 7/18/06 and note the 52 week high is 77.00 on 10/27/06....we are still waiting but anxious to re-buy under 52 low.

LONDON (MarketWatch) -- Citigroup upgraded credit rating agency Moody's Corp. to buy from hold, saying it believes the market's over-emphasis on the latest quarter rather than the road ahead has created an attractive buying opportunity. The broker told clients the stock is now off 15% since early reports of rising defaults on sub-prime mortgages, an asset class that contributes a modest 7% to 8% to revenue. "We believe Moody's is likely to prove more resilient than expected," Citigroup said, arguing that it's one of the best franchises in the information space
