Leroy, Here is some info I pulled up from the otc bb site. ====================== 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. Feature or Requirement OTCBB Nasdaq Qualitative and quantitative listing requirements No Yes Listing and maintenance fees to issuers No Yes Requirements to maintain quotation or listing No Yes Real-time electronic quotes for domestic issues Yes Yes Minimum Form 211 or listing processing time 3 days 6-8 weeks** * The OTCBB is separate and distinct from The Nasdaq Stock Market. ** A Form 211 is not required for listing on Nasdaq; however, the average time of approval for listing on Nasdaq is 6-8 weeks. The OTCBB is distinct from the Pink Sheets. The "Pink Sheets"® are operated by the National Quotation Bureau, LLC (NQB) and are a static paper quotation medium printed weekly and distributed to broker/dealers. An electronic version of the Pink Sheets is updated once a day and disseminated over market data vendor terminals. The Pink Sheets are not owned or operated by The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. ======= Here is the url for a more indepth look at the OTCBB system. otcbb.com Kevin - Hope this is informative.
