Keith, Thank you very much for the OTC BB URLs. They do confirm a decline in BB volume Your other point is very well taken. If the average price of a traded BB share is .90, then I suppose NITE makes less per OTC trade then it does per NASD trade. (Once again, can anyone cite a source that would break down per share revenue for OTC vs. NASD?) That being the case, the 28% decline from 2Q to 3Q of OTC volume would be less significant than the raw numbers suggest. The question is whether the 18% increase in NITE's July NASD volume can make up for the 28% decrease in OTC volume generally (which may or may not translate into an equivalent NITE-specific volume decline). And then there are the issues of August volumes and volatility. Perhaps BBRS was too aggressive in revising all the way down to .36? Gary Korn
