| Time To Take A Closer Look at the NYSE Group
Blake Morphis submits: Any fan of Mad Money knows that Jim Cramer's 2007 number one “growth stock of the year" is the NYSE Group (NYX), typically referred to as the New York Stock Exchange. Turns out viewers of CNBC's Fast Money television show found out that three of panelists from Fast Money really like the New York Stock Exchange too. During Thursday night's (3/15/07) airing of Fast Money, a segment was devoted to discussing the Exchange stocks due to the news of Intercontinental Exchange making an offer to purchase the Chicago Board of Trade. Turns out Jeff Macke, Tim Strazzini and Guy Adami all favored New York Stock Exchange as their current favorite Exchange stock.

Why Halliburton's Move to Dubai Makes Cents
Blake Morphis submits: In a recent press release Halliburton (HAL) has announced that they will move their corporate headquarters to Dubai. Dubai is pro free markets and is rapidly becoming a booming area for Western businesses to take interest in. In terms of oil, Dubai is a prime location that can also offer substantial corporate tax savings for businesses. Let's take a look at a few of the pros and cons of this move and recap some of the key points that Jim Cramer said on Mad Money and key points made by Eric Bolling and Tim Strazzini made on CNBC's Fast Money show (both shows aired on 3-12-07). Pros: Dubai is the future center for oil. Analysts predict Middle East global oil production to continue to increase while production will continue decrease in United States.
Goldman Sachs: Why this May be Your Golden Opportunity
Blake Morphis submits: Goldman Sachs (GS) is set to report this week along with fellow Investment Brokerages Bear Sterns (BSC) and Lehman Brothers (LEH). Now that the hype of the sub-prime mortgage crisis has been played out and helped contribute to an approximate 31 point sell off in Goldman Sachs, will GS finally put the sub-prime fears to rest with its earnings report on Tuesday? Investors will certainly hope so, but the advice given to viewers last Friday (3/9/07) on CNBC's television shows Mad Money and Fast Money is a bit conflicting. During Cramer's Game Plan segment on Mad Money, Jim Cramer expects Goldman Sachs to still get hit by the bears even if they report a good number. On the other hand, Fast Money's Guy Adami, said the first thing he plans to do is buy Goldman Sachs on Monday (3/12/07) morning.
