ma questa puo avere conseguenze sul business?
The New York Stock Exchange has booted three former LaBranche (LAB:NYSE - commentary - research - Cramer's Take) employees for failing to cooperate with an investigation into abusive trading by Big Board specialist firms.
The three former specialists, Eugene McCarthy, Vincent Papandrea and Anthony Picerni, each failed to appear before NYSE regulators to answer questions about their activities. Rather than testify, each man chose to settle with the NYSE and agree to a permanent ban from working again as a specialist.
LaBranche is one of five major specialist firms that drive trading on the Big Board. Two years ago, LaBranche and the others paid $242 million in fines and restitution to the Securities and Exchange Commission to settle allegations they violated their obligation to give investors the best possible price on a stock.
Regulators found that the specialists, in some instances, improperly made proprietary stock trades ahead of their customers' orders. In other words, the specialist firms took advantage of their customers by first making their own trades and then completing a customer's at an inferior price.
Specialist firms, which earn commissions for matching buyers and sellers on an exchange, also make money from trades made to smooth out fluctuations in stock prices. The firms are permitted to make proprietary trades for their accounts, but not at the expense of any customer.
The NYSE said it is continuing to "pursue those specialists and clerks who abused the public's trust.''

(RTTNews) - Monday morning, LaBranche & Co Inc. (LAB), a registered broker-dealer, announced third quarter earnings that came in below last year despite higher revenues.
The company said net income for the three-month period ended September 30, 2006 declined to $7.8 million, or $0.13 per share as compared to net income of $9.2 million, or $0.15 per share, for the third quarter of 2005. On average, 3 analysts polled by First Call/Thomson Financial expected the company to earn $0.11 per share for the quarter.

LAB 8.75 0.12dollars or (1.39%)
LaBranche said excluding the net gain attributable to the increase in value of the company's NYX restricted shares; net operating loss for the third quarter of 2006 was $2.1 million, or $0.03 per share. The company said it generated positive cash operating income on a pro forma basis, which excludes the effects of the NYX restricted shares, depreciation, amortization, stock based compensation and non-cash tax adjustments. Excluding these non-cash items, LaBranche said its cash operating income was $1.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 compared to $8.0 million for the prior year period.
Revenues for the 2006 third quarter increased to $125.4 million from $83.7 million for last year's third quarter. The 2006 third quarter revenues included a pre-tax gain of about $17.6 million in connection with the increase of the estimated fair value of the restricted shares of NYSE Group, Inc., or "NYX," common stock held by the company.
LaBranche said net income for the nine-month period rose to $97.73 million or $1.59 per share from $20.15 million or $0.33 per share in the prior year period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, revenues increased to $475.2 million from $228.8 million in the comparable prior year period.
