I think it's a good start. If a company is listed on Euronext do they still have a "home" exchange. e.g. if a Paris company is listed on Euronext, will the price it's traded at be seen in Belgium and Amsterdam? Also, how does it settle?

This section needs to be more encyclopeaedic, and not read like a running update. —Joseph/N328KF (Talk) 11:27, 23 May 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Paris based?

Quote from euronext.com: "Euronext N.V. is a Dutch public company with limited liability (naamloze vennootschap) which has its registered office in Amsterdam. Euronext N.V. has subsidiaries in Belgium, France, the Netherlands, Portugal and the United Kingdom (together, “Euronext”). Euronext is entered in the trade register of the Chamber of Commerce of Amsterdam under number 34137761." Why it is called Paris Based? I cannot find anything that confirms that. (I guess Businessweek is wrong on this one.) (see http://www.euronext.com/editorial/wide/0,5371,1732_4436322,00.html)

Euronext, like many pan-European firms (EADS, Arcelor Mittal, etc.) are registered in Benelux with operational headquarters in other nations. It's a moot point; the headquarters and country of regstration will be in New York City shortly. —Joseph/N328KF (Talk) 02:37, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] merger or acquisition?

Here, it says Euronext is about to merge with NYSE, but in the NYSE article it says "NYSE Group is acquiring Euronext". I'm no economist, but that sounds like something completely different. Which is it? And if it's a mere technicality, could that be explained for laymen like me? DirkvdM 07:29, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Global exchange"

"Euronext merged with NYSE Group to form NYSE Euronext, the first global stock exchange." What exactly does this mean? It doesn't have a branch in every country, yet it isn't the first exchange to have branches in more than one country, either. I dont see what this statement means.

[edit] Controversy

I've been unable to find any corroboration for the assertion that the change to tick size is controversial. As such, the statement appears to be simply the opinion of the editor who added the comment. Clearly he is unhappy about the move, but that is not evidence that the move is unpopular with a sufficient number of people to be regarded as controversial. As it stands, this bit is WP:POV and WP:OR, and absent any evidence to support the assertion it should be removed. Mayalld 08:43, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
