Requested edit[edit]

I find the following statement to be unencyclopediac and unfounded (this should be removed):

OTC markets are avoided by many investors due to a fear, sometimes well founded, that shares traded on them can have prices which are easily manipulated. At times, it is difficult to differentiate between OTC shares and penny stocks sold as part of what is essentially a confidence game—Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.192.137.248 (talk • contribs) 07:31, 11 April 2007

The statement doesn't give any sort of attribution, and as such can be deleted by any editor (even you). It is usually a good idea to leave a message about why you're deleting an item in the edit summary so your edit doesn't look like vandalism and get reverted. I'm adding a {{fact}} tag to the statement to give other editors a chance to fix it. If it doesn't get a citation, then it can be erased. —Elipongo (Talk|contribs) 05:54, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Foreign stocks on OTCBB?[edit]

I've noticed that some large, brand-name foreign stocks (e.g. Royal Bank of Scotland Group & LVMH) are listed on OTCBB. I'd like to see this article discuss this. Why are they listed on the OTC Bulletin Board rather than an exchange? What exactly are you buying? (i.e. The prices seem to be much different than their foreign exchange prices.) etc. --JHP 00:39, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Why is it so hard to find a complete list of companies?[edit]

It would be useful to have a link to an authoritative list of all the OTC companies and their symbols. Failing in that, it would be interesting to have an explanation of why such a list is so hard to find, even on the official site. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.31.88.248 (talk) 04:19, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
