Garfield--
Before I jump on any bandwagon let me also inform those that are following the latest article of Eric King and Jim Puplava from Financial Sense.. that perhaps some of the problems are a little closer to home then they want to realize or believe..
Case point...
When I have a stock for sale on the "OTC" and I find that a buy is filled and it was higher than my offer to sell. I begin to wonder... Then I find a couple of days later that I am by-passed again while trying to buy another and a buyer is filled at a lower price than I offered to pay. I complained and was told the market maker makes the decision to sell or buy at his discretion.
My complaint...
When they make the desision to sell and buy to "whoever "and by-passes my better offers, I begin to wonder "where and who" ..the whoevers are..
My thoughts...
If this is normal practice and no regulators or regulations are in place to stop this unsavory practice... than, holders like myself are in for some losses with little or no control of any outcome and now have no trust in those that practice this.
My resolution... I have no more desire buy , sell, or hold any firms shares that are traded "OTC"... or any shares in firms that are duel listed and on the "OTC".
Extra Note of Caution:
I am also very suspicious of those people or persons that that offer to have all the answers for supporting shareholders while their own yard is cluttered.
I say " Let them first clean up their own yard before the tackling of others. "
