But I agree with Salmon's reasoning with regard to hedge funds being the raison d'etre for the purchase - no fuss, no muss, no regulation for DeutscheBorse.
However, to the NYSE-cum-corpse being replaced by das kapital deutsche, I say: Le Roi est mort, vive le Roi!
Oh, I forgot - the NYSE was a "democracy", not a monarchy...
