TLC,

My thoughts were that when KAA referred to "OTC" he was talking about the NASDAQ stocks, not specifically OTC-BB. KAA, clarification please?

"Comparison of Nasdaq and OTCBB*
The OTCBB is a quotation medium for subscribing
members, not an issuer listing service, and should not be
confused with The Nasdaq Stock MarketSM. OTCBB
securities are traded by a community of Market Makers that
enter quotes and trade reports through a highly
sophisticated, closed computer network, which is accessed
through Nasdaq Workstation IITM
The OTCBB is unlike The
Nasdaq Stock Market in that it:

does not impose listing standards or requirements;
does not provide automated trade executions;
does not maintain relationships with quoted issuers;
and
does not have the same obligations for Market
Makers.

That is a great post! It should be in flashing 24-pt. bold on the thread header of all BB threads on SI!

I think there are a lot of people using the internet to invest who do NOT understand the difference between a NASDAQ stock and OTC-BB. The symbols all have four letters, right?

Oh, almost forgot: Big news is coming soon! $10 by next week! MM's just want to shake out a few weak hands...

BAWK!
