(edit) Until I figure out what the factors were that skewed the Q3 expectations, it would be rather meaningless for me to offer up a number, don't you think? Earnings certainly were considerably better than analyst predictions, but fell short of where myself and a couple other posters thought they would fall. I haven't had the time to go back through the last 2 10-Q's to attempt to identify the factors yet. Until I do that, I'm not going to prognosticate on Q4 EPS.

However, I have posted enough info on the quarter to date for someone to certainly extend Friday's margin out for the rest of the quarter and weigh in the performance to date. That would produce the number you seek (assuming everything stayed static form here out) and you could then compare that to the previous quarters. All the average costs and sale prices for each quarter are available in the 10-Q's (average sale price of ethanol, average CBOT corn & actual price paid, value of co-products as a percentage of the total delivered cost of corn).
