Yahoo new symbol for otc news

An SI Board Since August 1999

Introduction Compact

For those of you who don't know yet Yahoo this weekend stopped news on all OTC BB stocks...it simply isnot offered anymore. Much like the time they arrogantly dumped all the msg boards for OTC stocks...nothing said, they just did it. Many investors used yahoo as a source for news on stocks. I kept full backup portfolios there for all stocks I owned and all those I follow (about 500)as a check on the news I get thru my primary service Market Track.

Now, besides voicing displeasure at this move, what else is available to do the same as Yahoo ref portfolios and getting the news when it comes out and following stocks on a delayed basis. I have already set up my otc portfoilio at ndb but that won't help me with the 150 or so others I follow.

Any suggestions? or am I the only one concerned with this.
