*OTC MARKET MAKERS DROPPED FROM OVER THE COUNTER BULLETIN BOARD TO TRADE SAME STOCKS THROUGH THE PINK SHEETS
Astoria, New York
When more and more market makers of many over the counter bulletin board stocks decided to drop out of the OTCBB market and trade the same stock thru the pink sheets, something began to become clear to more investors. The spread between the bid and ask became larger and wider. Usually when this occurs, it signals that the stock is not trading and this leads one to believe that it becomes more risky to own that particular stock.
But many market makers decided to take another route and trade those same stocks through the pink sheets for unclear reasons. "Hidden bids and asks from the OTCBB quotation system were those of market makers deciding to perhaps to do so for monetary reason" suggested FPG. " But here comes mid March 2010 and OTCBB.com ( http://www.otcbb.com/ ) shows both market makers again on its Level II system. Level II is a unique system listing in the left column all market makers bidding on the stock on descending order, while in the right column all the market makers asking on the stock in ascending order. The capital letters market makers are the ones trading the stock over the OTCBB system, the lower case ones are the ones trading the stock over the pink sheets system."
Perhaps, with the start of spring 2010, another hurdle for many micro caps has been overcomed. Stay tuned for additional comments on this story.
