Where can I find the detailed financial results for NASDAQ OMX's third quarter of 2009?

The detailed financial results are provided in the press release dated November 5, 2009, which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K filing. You can also refer to the presentation slides posted on NASDAQ OMX's website on the same date.

What are the key financial metrics reported for Q3 2009?

This specific Form 8-K filing does not contain the detailed financial metrics. The filing serves as a notification that the results were released, and investors need to consult the referenced press release (Exhibit 99.1) and presentation slides for figures such as revenue, net income, earnings per share, and any segment-specific performance.

Is this filing a comprehensive financial report, or does it require consulting other documents?

This 8-K filing is an informational report that directs investors to the official press release and presentation slides for the Q3 2009 financial results. Therefore, to get a complete picture of the company's performance, you must review those accompanying documents.

What does it mean that the information is 'furnished' and not 'filed'?

When information is furnished under Item 2.02 or 7.01, it means the company is making the information public in compliance with disclosure rules (like Regulation FD) but is not assuming the same level of liability for that specific information as if it were formally 'filed' with the SEC as part of a registration statement or annual report. However, it's still crucial information for investors.
