Date: 06/20/2000 10:03 PM Subject: S7-24-99 I firmly believe that the market makers are more concerned with their own self interest are fraudently manipulating OTCBB stocks by shorting them. They are flaunting their noses at the SEC as their is no enforaceable regulation to stop what they are doing. Make them fully accountable for all reporting requirements, this should stop the shorting position. Sincerely Rita Marcus
