In the past few months most of the OTC stocks I own, the companies have become 
fully reporting. This at a tremendous cost to the companies and loss of focus on
the real business- making money. This has leveled the playing field by making 
these companies report; but now we investors are being raked over the coals by 
Market makers. I understand that market makers fufill a part of the market 
process but should also be required to be fully reporting: they should be 
required to disclose their short positions at a minimum. In my opinion they 
should also not be allowed to naked short any companies stock.
