The regulators and exchanges also do a dis-service to small issuers, who often have legitimate, if unvaunted, businesses they are trying to get off the ground using public markets to raise capital. They, and their investors (risk takers as they may be) are at the mercy of MMs and promotion companies that play to the current market system. Can think of many companies that have real businesses, that flail, and sometimes fail, because of the market, despite their ongoing business successes. Checked the equiverse page - nothing there. What is it? Have looked into some of the direct trading systems, including Niphix.com, and SBX. These require companies to pay to list them (some, like SBX, just list all companies but only trade those that have paid fees) Was an interesting overview on Nightline last night - any thoughts?
