Euronext N.V. is a pan-European electronic stock exchange based in Amsterdam and with subsidiaries in Belgium, France, Netherlands, Portugal and the United Kingdom. In addition to equities and derivatives markets, the Euronext group provides clearing and information services. As of December 2010, markets run by Euronext had a market capitalisation of US$2.93 trillion, making it the 5th largest exchange in the world. Euronext merged with NYSE Group on April 4, 2007 to form NYSE Euronext (Euronext: NYX), the "first global stock exchange".
Euronext was formed on 22 September 2000 following a merger of the Amsterdam Stock Exchange, Brussels Stock Exchange, and Paris Bourse, in order to take advantage of the harmonization of the European Union financial markets. In December 2001, Euronext acquired the shares of the London International Financial Futures and Options Exchange (LIFFE), which continues to operate under its own governance. Beginning in early 2003, all derivatives products traded on its affiliated exchanges trade on LIFFECONNECT, LIFFE's electronic trading platform. In 2002 the group merged with the Portuguese stock exchange Bolsa de Valores de Lisboa e Porto (BVLP), renamed Euronext Lisbon. Hours of operation on non-holidays are 9:00-17:30 CET.
You've got black hair that floats like a river
as it falls down the back of your neck
But your heart is so cold that I shiver
Then your trail is a graveyard rex
And your act is all smoking mirrors
and the crowd's getting wise to your tricks
You better move it along to the next little song
'cause the air is getting thick as brick
And time has everybody down in the end
and honey you know, you're next
Yeah the devil takes everyone of us in the end
and honey you know, you're next
You've got stars of the night in your eyes
that's in chills down a cripple man's spine
There's blood on your hands from the locals who've died
there's a black hole inside your mind
Honey that's just how my thoughts run
in this dark and depressing old night
as I sit here alone by the disconnected phone
and listen to the neighbours that fight
Yeah the time catches up with us all in the end
and honey you know, you're next
Yeah the devil takes everyone of us in the end
and honey you know, you're next
