Q: I am considering the NASDAQ stock (NDAQ).

It has a consistent record of solid earnings. With the new U.S. Administration easing up on regulations there is the potential of an increase in M&A and IPO activity for the markets this year. If so, NASDAQ could be well positioned.

What would your advice be?

Thank you
