It's stretching the absolute limits of credulity to believe that Front-Man John, Side-Kick TIPSTER, and Straight-Man anyone don't know who are the market makers for NTAH. But this is information you need to know, Ellen, in order to have a fighting chance in this game. As you know, Ellen, stocks have symbols. NTAH is Nevtah's symbol on the OTC-BB. Well, guess what? Market makers have symbols, too. And that's what this list.... BID ASK SHWD.22 FRAN.235 PGON.22 SHRP.235 ALEX.22 OLIE.24 HILL.21 HILL.24 FRAN.20 ALEX.24 NITE.195 NITE.245 SHRP.18 FAHN.25 WIEN.15 WIEN.27 FAHN.15 SHWD.27 OLIE.10 PGON.32 GVRC.02 ALWC.375 ALWC.02 GVRC.625 that someone dredged up somewhere is... showing the market makers in NTAH and their bids and asks at whatever moment in time this snapshot was taken. NITE is Knight Securities, WIEN is Wien Securities, SHWD is Sherwood Securities [ they handle most of the order flow from NDB, by the way, since they own them... every market maker has one or more retail houses in their thrall ], SHRP is Sharpe Securities, FAHN is Fahnstock Securities, and so on.... These market maker symbols are how they identify themselves to one another. Several of the ones on the list above have close ties to the trading desks of major Canadian brokers, so it's entirely possible in theory that some of the Great White North shenanigans alluded to by some could happen. Thanks, guys, I needed a good laugh after a long and arduous day. $^)
