I want ALL investors to be able to short ALL stocks, especially otcbb stocks. Make it FAIR ! I want EQUAL FOOTING with market makers. Regulation needs to occur on the company end. Stop the flagent discounting of securities without notice. Also the OTCBB needs to be FAIR in that the limit order protection rule should apply. Oftentimes market makers back away from their posted quote and take 15-30 minutes to fill orders.
