This is a step in the right direction, imo, and something that has been needing to be done for a long time! Blatant manipulation of OTC stocks is a scandal that should bring shame and punishment to those who engage in naked short selling. It has been denied by those who engage in it, even while lining their pockets at the expense of the small investor and small companies. More power to you!
