Gary, Here are a few possibilities based on volumes and using Q2's 43 cents as a starting point. Remember that Q2's earnings were expected to be the peak in terms of operating margin. So the numbers below are likely a few pennies too high. Q3 vs Q2 Q3 EPS? OTC volumes -33% $0.29 NITE's Autex Nasdaq vols -16.5% $0.36 BBRS's est of NITE's vol -20% $0.34 (BBRS est. is $0.23) ML's est of NITE's vol -21% $0.34 (ML est. is $0.35) ML's mid-Sept numbers assumed a sequential improvement in rev/trade. BBRS's 10/4 rev/trade numbers assume a -20% change vs Q2 and -28% vs Q1. Q3 volumes referenced above were above Q1 levels when EPS was $0.34.
