1. Your Questions About Nasdaq Omx
David asks…
NASDAQ OMX Group (NDAQ) Stock, Is it a good bet in short to
medium period?
I have been hearing a lot about this stock off-late. Even Fortune magazine listed this company
at 41 in its list of 100 fastest growing companies for 2009. Is this stock a good bet in short to
medium term.
Steve Winston answers:
YES!! Ive been watching and trading this stock for some time now and i can tell you that not
only is it a great company, but it is also the worlds largest exchange company, with over 3800
listed companies on its exchanges in over 50 countries. It has the largest IT and Biotech
industry exchanges in the world, two industries that are going to grow for years to come. NDAQ
has done very well with its acquisitions of other exchanges and is still a very attractive market to
get into. NDAQ hasn't been at these prices since about 2005 (that is the 20 dollar range), so it
looks like a buy to me. If you are not trading the stock, i would highly recommend investing in
the company and watching it grow over the next few years.

3. Ruth asks…
What are the costs and benefits of raising private capital through
the Nasdaq OMX Portal Market system?
I am hoping to receive responses from bankers whom have recent experience with the trading
of the restricted securities currently being offered through the Nasdaq Portal Alliance system.
What is the success rate of issuers (on the Nasdaq Portal Market) meeting their fund raising
goals? More specifically, with the success of pre-earnings and start-up firms that use the system
to raise early capital.
How common is it for an entrepreneur with five years of real estate development experience to
raise capital through the Nasdaq Portal, to fund the entrepreneur's future commercial and
residential developments? Is a sponsoring Broker or Stock Transfer Agent required to list on the
Nasdaq OMX Portal system? Can the whole issuance, from beginning to end, be executed
entirely by the issuing firm (through this Nasdaq Portal Trading System)?
I am currently a student in Financial Accounting at a university in California. I have been doing a
bit of research on this topic of the Nasdaq Portal trading system. I hope to one day utilize it as
an investment tool.
Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
I am not curious as to the NASDAQ PORTAL participants and all the bureaucratic nonsense
that is currently happening, I am more interested in the results being realized from issuers
utilizing the NASDAQ OMX MARKET PORTAL system - and in their ventures in acquiring
private (sophisticated) investor capital.

4. The main benefit should be obvious - little regulatory oversight from the SEC.
It will be interesting to see the final form of the Portal Alliance after the financial market finishes
its current gyrations. It appears at least six or seven of the original thirteen members no longer
exist in the same form as when the Alliance was first formed.
"The founding members of The PORTAL Alliance are Bank of America, Bear Stearns, Citi,
Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch,
Morgan Stanley, NASDAQ, UBS and Wachovia Securities"
If you're "hoping to use the Alliance as an investment tool", you DO realize it's open only to
qualified investors with more than $100 million in assets, right? In other words, it's the new old
boys club.
