I can only answer your first question. BROC is a NASDAQ stock. On its last mini-run over $5, it even became marginable (at least on Datek).

Michael: Re: managers & analysts ... From what I've picked up reading the threads here on SI, there seems to be a reluctance (and maybe even a legal restriction?) for funds to get involved with stocks at the $5 and under level. There were several comments made while BROC had a brief life above $5 that the funds would be coming on board "any day now". And then, BROC slipped below the magic number and is just now recovering. No need to apologize for ignorance of financial stuff. We're all less than fully informed about something. Like fund manager participation, for instance. Does anybody know the "for real" restrictions? TED
