Yes....

Read all the projections for the increased use of online investing in the next few years and NITE is in an enviable position brokerage or no brokerage.

The market maker to the starz.... and beyond.

Not to mention a creative CEO and management team.

Actually, my understanding is that they make more from
market-making/trading (proprietary algorithms/methods)
than from bid/ask spreads. I just read this a few days ago
-- sorry I can't recall where.

While there is pressure for tighter spreads (smaller margins),
the volatile markets are a big help to them (a guess).

Someone else on the board may have more info on this.
