Take the time to write or call pinksheets.com ask them to have their short numbers include Grandfather FTD's as well there numbers are currently nowhere near accurate.

Timeframe on the Granfather Clause being enforced
6-14-07
I just got off the phone with Ann Sulzberg (attourney at SEC) she is in the investor education dept with the SEC.
Q. When will this new GC ruling become effective?
A. Look for the ruling in the federal register in 1-2 weeks on SEC website. 60 days from when it appears in the federal register it should take affect. The particulars will be outlined at that time as well.
To sum things up we are looking at 74 days or so to be in effect and another 35 days after that of activity to correct the FTD's. So imo we won't see the effects of the ruling until late August through the end of September.
The hard copy should be out in 1-2 weeks after that is out and the outlined ruling is there to be enforced that should give three months of anticipation before the actual deadline. Sometimes the anticipation is better than the real thing imo.
