"...chop stocks make up perhaps half the 85 million-share daily volume of the OTC
Bulletin Board, plus dozens of stocks on the NASDAQ Small Cap Market. By
that reckoning, there would be perhaps 700 actively traded chop stocks on the
OTC Bulletin Board alone, and perhaps another 200 NASDAQ Small Cap
stocks. With dollar volume of trading in domestic OTC Bulletin Board
stocks--the shares not traded on NASDAQ or the exchanges--exceeding $20
billion a year, the portion consisting of chop stocks might well exceed $10 billion."
