Check out most recent DJ story on Schwab's earnings Schwab's NASDAQ market maker, Mayer & Schweitzer, surprised analysts with principal transaction revenues of $100.2 million, up from $74.9 million in 3Q and $64 million a year ago. "Putnam's Lovell's Smith said that he hadn't expected to see such extensive gains in principal transactions given the changes in order handling rules in 1997 that has made it more difficult for market makers to profit off the spread between bid and ask price. The figure bodes well for Nasdaq market maker Knight/Trimark, Smith said. The group is to report earnings Wednesday morning. A First Call consensus of seven brokers puts Knight's earnings at 26 cents a share in the 4Q."
