Mama Bear, thank you for your insightful post and for further discrediting walking turdmeister MarcG. He thought He would repost here a post He made on another thread in an attempt to illuminate the error of MarcG's ways. He suspects that after the INTR "frog" is out of the bag MarcG will disappear for ever. To: +MarcG (734 ) From: +Mr. Pink Saturday, Jun 26 1999 6:12PM ET Reply # of 735 Hypester MarcG, who has been widely discredited as a paid shill for a fraudulent company is trying to sucker you into buying INTR on the speculation that bogus subsidiary IBUY.com will be taken public in a $75mm deal valuing the sub at $300mm.

Barb: Would you mind doing me the convenience of sharing that url, or was it a private communication? thanks...peter "From Liz Heese, OTC BB Regs Deartment: First, unlike the rules on NASDAQ fully listed companies, it is legal to short OTC BB stocks on the downtick ("downtick rule", which OTC BB's are exempt from) Second, unlike the rules on NASDAQ fully listed companies, it is not mandatory to disclose the short position, only voluntary. Huge difference there. Third, the Affirmative Determination rule is the problem with shorting these OTC BB Stocks in that you must demonstrate an ability to borrow these shares before selling these shares. Due to the illiquid-ness of these thinly traded stocks, this rule has been used by many brokerage houses to establish policies against shorting these OTC BB companies. Again, it is not illegal to short these companies here in the US, it is just not as common as shorting full NASDAQ listed stocks. "
