Panita,

Re: Your questions about Pasternak.

Pasternak is sharp as a tack. He was a superbly successful trader long before beginning the Knight-Trimark venture.

His delivery leaves one with the impression that he's an authority on his subject.

His manner is matter-of-fact, confident, not excessively enthusiastic (doesn't come across as a cheap salesman). As far a CNBC curb appeal, he's no Bill Clinton, but who wants that. Personally, I like his intelligent, no-frills, no-bullshit, matter-of-fact approach.

Last time he spoke on CNBC for Q2, NITE's share price didn't go up significantly, but it was already near $60/share and the fear of lockup expiration-related selling loomed. This time is different (lower share price, lockup selling not an unknown, can only get better from this low Q3, etc.)

Might we expect any public comments from analysts going forward? Bob?

I'm under the impression analysts usually analysts take a day or so after earnings to digest info and/or take positions before going verbal.

Ditto the thanks to Gary!

RE: CEO i never heard him before is he an enthusiastic person? Does he speak well? I am curious how sharp he is.

Panita,

KP is very articulate with not a hint of nervousness in his voice. He is not wildly enthusiastic, but calmly, if not insistently positive. I'd have to say he is very, very sharp.
