I'd love to commission a study which would challenge the assertion that there is any realistic chance in finding a future S&P500 stock on the OTCBB or Pink sheets, particularly those issues trading below $10/sh. Specifically, how many: a) current S&P500; b) current Nasdaq 100; and c) yearly top 10 percentage gainers of the NYSE, AMEX, and Nasdaq for the last 20 years started their publicly traded lives on the OTCBB or the pinks? Also, what their public offering price and number of shares issued were. Anticipating the answer in both numerical and percentage terms, I can hardly imagine what the touts' retort to that one would be. Undoubtedly among them would be the assertion that market makers were somehow "surpressing" or "walking down" those issues. LPS5
