So, children. Back in my day, we had this thing called a stock exchange. And Americans who were successful enough to build their companies and get them listed on this exchange would come and proudly stand with their families while they offered Americans an opportunity to share in their success. But we don't do that anymore.

[Frantzie]

The NYSE and the other US exchanges are totally corrupt. Maybe the Germans will clean things up. The Germans did a good job when they ran NASA, they do not elect Muslims to run their country, they have bought a lot of jobs to the SE United States.

I know southern working men at the BMW and Mercedes factories and they like em. TV watching Americans have only themselves to blame. They traded liberty for a TV clicker. Sad.

But when it was Japanese buying American icons, taking too much notice of it was called xenophobic and racist by the networks. I call hypocrisy.

The White House and the Supreme Court buildings are solidly constructed and represent fine workmanship. The U.S. could probably get a few hundred million dollars if they put them up for auction to the highest bidder.

When I look at the history of American-German mergers and acquisitions it doesn't look promising. The company that I worked for for 36 years acquired a German company and I can tell you that the work culture is not very compatible. Mercedes-Chrysler didn't work. The socialist streak runs very deep in German companies. They are much more rigid about management decisions. The companies engage in things we consider to be corrupt. In the end..I wonder how much our own tax code contributed to this merger. I would prefer to see the CME merge with the NYSE.

So now we don’t even export “nothing” anymore !

[rockinqsranch]

“Sold” in the Headline, “Merged” in the body of the article. I don’t care. A major chunk of America is out the door again.

This is BS. We have to do something to get back our country from those that would part it out.

[ColdOne]

White House extremely pleased I bet. This is another huge story no?

[therightliveswithus]

Wait for the White House....

[dennisw]

How pathetic is that when the first US stock exchange is now foreigner owned. At least Donald Trump said something intelligent.

‘I think it’s ridiculous that this country would allow Germany to buy our New York Stock Exchange. It’s another black eye for the United States- victory for Germany, not the United States.’

[bareford101]

Why was it even for sale? I did not hear anything about it. Who decided to sell it?

[OB1kNOb]

It’s all part of the grand global plan, comrade............./s

[Uncle Miltie]

America used to have something called “capital formation” where a bunch of people would get together, start a company and hire.

This antiquated concept was killed by Sarbanes Oxley, Frank / Dodd, 0bamaCare and a general attack by the 0bama Administration on the profit motive.

Wasn’t Wall Street grand?

Ah well, no need for it in our new paradise. All hail the pigs on two feet!

[Logical me]

They are just adding to the communists empire of Global Economy. Soon to be known as World Order.

[Clock King]

Well, they’re all ready talking about getting rid of the dollar as the world reserve currency, so this just makes sense. Welcome to the nightmare world of Soros’s Open Society.

[Frantzie]

Can the Germans be any more corrupt thank Goldman Sachs, Citicorp or The JP Morgue (Chase aka Rockefeller)?

[familyop]

The DOW “industrials” are not all so industrial, either, and most of them are based on manufacturing in foreign countries by US corporations.

[Frantzie]

The NYSE is not an “icon.” The s***ty media usues this stupid icon and iconic in every article. The NYSE is a den of theives as is the NYC financial district and Greenwich CT. Maybe the Germans will do a better job.

[Clock King]

It’s like the bad ending of the video game Red Alert 2. “The NYSE was permanently closed today as World Communism takes control.”
