Subject: File No. S7-24-9 Date: 06/28/2000 12:37 AM I feel that the OTC and Pinks sheet stocks should HAVE to follow the same disclosure rules as the primary exchanges i.e., Nasdaq, NY, American, Phoenix etc. Thats because the investor has NO WAY of knowing the shorts of the MMers they can and do get away with out right manipulation of the market in the OTC -BB and Pink Sheet arenas. I dont want the outright manipulation of a market which can lead to control by one or few. The market should fluctuate based on supply and demand. Paul Monnin P O Box 405 Battle Ground WA 98604 0405
