Hi John, Welcome to our little Coffee Shop.Set back and enjoy the coffee. In today;s electronic age - the following should be reported in realtime: 1. - registered insider trades - NOT 30 days later 2. - differentiate between broker and client trades 3. - short sales and short coverings 4. - Who lent the shares for the short 4. - Mutual fund transactions Wishful thinking I know - The playing field is so slanted to the insiders and the brokers I agree with you whole heartedly.It should be very easy to set up.A computer program should be able to do it.Then you would have the same info a brokerage has or close levelling the playing field. As long as everyone has the same info. My gripe has been well documented on PLAS as one of the few OTC CDN stocks I was so foolish as to get involved in. The gripe is not with the company but with the MMs and the general lack of info on the trading and lack of regulation. I suspect that many of the trades we see are BS jitney or otherwise false trades. I am glad you brought this up.I do not trade OTC. This is a subject that I am sure will spawn more responses.I have found that the totally created market with no way of watching the trading is about the same as reaching into a basket of scorpions for the goldpiece.1 in 100 times you will get the gold.The rest you best have the antidote handy. Does anybody else care to add their piece about OTC trading? OSPREY
