You got that right G... I talk to lots of people in brokerages (some of them Big Houses)... and they hate the OTCBB. They think the stuff that happens here is all crap. These guys call me up everyday talking about this stock and that stock and they are always NAZ/NYSE stocks... I say no thank you, I am pennies now. They think I am an idiot until they see my account statements for the last 2 years. :) Tom

GBenner and Tom, Just a couple of comments re OTCBB sentiment - yes, I agree that the 'big boy' brokerage houses as well as Nasdaq promoters scorn OTCBB. However, I feel there are enough of 'the small potato people' watching what the SEC is doing re OTC BB reform now, as well as watching and alerting their legislators as to trading 'irregularities' on the OTCBB. The OTCBB seems to be in the position NASDAQ was seven years or so ago prior to the rise of high tech stocks - e.i., not considered quite respectable. With greater accountable via SEC filing requirements and, perhaps, more importantly,public awareness that this type of investing is based on potential - I frankly don't see the SEC slacking on OTCBB regulation being tolerated much longer. I see a lot of people who have a 'mad as hell and am not going to take it any more' mentality. Myself included, of course. Linda
