Subject: New regs for Market Makers


The SEC:

  I'd like to offer my full support to the initiative of having Market
Makers involved in the OTC:BB
  arena report the short positions they maintain in stocks they trade. I
applaud the SEC for taking
  this action, and would encourage even more regulation of Market Maker
conduct in the OTC:BB.
  Too many people and companies have been hurt by manipulation of OTC
stocks by market
  makers. There is no reason the OTC:BB can't be just like a Nasdaq for
micro-cap and
  development stage companies. A well lit, clean and transparent forum
for trading stocks.
