Welcome to IWETHEY!

New counter-resession
>> This company is to bonds like NASDAQ or the NYSE is to stocks. When stocks tanked, the number of transactions went up. Similarly for stocks. That isn't a bad thing. <<

That is my point, isn't it? When stocks do poor, bonds do well, and visa versa. Thus, if the stock market picks up, a company that depends on bonds might shrink a bit.

But, being counter-resession-sensitive may be a good thing because if they shrink due to an active stock market, then at least you are more likely to find an active market elsewhere.

Then again, stocks and the economy are not always in lock-step.

Hey, do they hire non-OO-fans by chance?

Anyhow, congrats!

Bummer. Now you won't have time to make that "killer OOP example" that you talk about every now and then.

A company that only counts on the transactions occuring doesn't care if the price goes up or down, they take a cut either way.

New No, that wasn't your point.
You didn't read me. As Jay pointed out, transaction-based businesses don't care what the prices are. They only care about how many transactions there are. In bad times, the numbers of transactions don't change. Just the dollar amounts.

In general, it looks like when the markets are going down, the volume picks up.
