All companies should be allowed to continue to leave the DTC , as the DTC does a very very poor job of controlling 'naked shorting' of the bb or pink sheet stocks. Market Makers have a holiday at the expense of investors in the bb's and pink sheet stocks, and, I would think it would behoove you, the SEC, to make the Market Makers comply to rules or make more rules, as they exist on the Nasdaq , NYSE and AMEX, so that companies would not have to leave the DTC. I love the SEC and your mission is to protect the common share holder, right? Not the DTC or the Market Makers who have gone astray. Thank you Bruce Barrett Bruce M. Barrett _____ Do you Yahoo!?
