"CME Group (CME) fell by 2% to $301.77 despite reporting third-quarter earnings that beat the Thomson Reuters' average analysts' estimate by six cents a share."

Eagle mid capt steers clear of traditional banks and finance companies, which McCallister says carry too much credit risk. Yet 16% of his portfolio is in nontraditional financials such as insurance companies and exchanges. Among his favorites: CME Group (CME) and IntercontinentalExchange (ICE), which both operate global electronic-derivatives exchanges. "When something goes wrong in the world, volumes in stocks go down, and volumes on derivative exchanges go up. These companies are at 18 times earnings...But the returns on capital are sky-high."

And the CME Group (CME) over $300 is bullish. - Joe Terranova

From a recent Mad Money show:"I don't like that group. If I had to pick one it'd be NYSE Group (NYX) for the dividend."

Although [this futures and options exchange's] February volume trends contribute[d] to five-cents-higher EPS for first-quarter '09, we are taking five cents out of our estimate for the remainder of the year. Thus, we aren't changing our year '09 and '10 estimates of $13.90 and $15.04. Our 220 target is based on 16 times our 2009 estimate. Market cap: $11.6 billion.

From a recent Mad Money show:"This is a company that needs volume. I like NYSE Group (NYX) better since it has a dividend. But if you think volume is going up, you'd be better off with Ameritrade (AMTD) or Charles Schwab (SCHW)."
