Just stumbled across this board doing some research work. I'm curious Mick, are you familiar with Rule 144(i)? I don't see it being discussed here. It mainly only effects pinksheet shells. It is extremely important to understand the rule if your looking at pink sheet shells. Here is a good read on the subject.. http://reversemergerblog.com/2008/10/02/nine-law-firms-submit-request-for-rulemaking-on-rule-144i-to-sec-text-below/ This is an attorney's perspective.. http://www.gopublicdirect.com/pink-sheet-shell-pink-sheet-listing-warning Just a FYI for you guys. Hope this helps in some way..
