"Things could get even more difficult soon for Pink-no information outfits like ECOS?? "


WHY?!?!?!

ECOS is not a Caveat Emptor like many other companies... Ecos is Pink No Information


No Information
Indicates companies do not provide disclosure. Publicly traded companies that do not provide information to investors should be carefully researched before making any investment decision.

How to Remove the Stop Sign

A company may provide disclosure through a selected U.S. regulatory agency (such as the SEC or a Banking regulator), a qualified foreign stock exchange, or through the Alternative Reporting Standard by making filings publicly available through the OTC Disclosure & News Service pursuant to the Pink Basic Disclosure Guidelines.

NOTE: SEC reporting companies should be aware that information published through the OTC Disclosure & News Service will not be considered when determining the placement of the stop sign and the market by which they trade. The market designation for reporting companies is based solely on information filed with the SEC's EDGAR system. Delinquent filers must deregister with the SEC in order to remove the stop sign and upgrade their market using the OTC Disclosure & News Service as described below.

Here is a bit more information for you...


OTC Markets Group's Policy Regarding Caveat Emptor

OTC Markets Group designates certain securities as “Caveat Emptor” and places a skull and crossbones icon next to the stock symbol to inform investors that there may be reason to exercise additional care and perform thorough due diligence before making an investment decision in that security. The Caveat Emptor symbol is publicly displayed on the www.otcmarkets.com website and is distributed on market data feeds.

The Caveat Emptor Designation is Assigned When OTC Markets Becomes Aware of:

Promotion/Spam without Adequate Current Information — The security is being promoted to the public, but adequate current information about the company has not been made available to the public. Promotional activities may include spam email, unsolicited faxes or news releases, whether published by the company or a third party. See OTC Markets Group's Policy on Stock Promotion below.
Investigation of Fraud or Other Criminal Activities — There is an investigation or other indication of fraudulent or other criminal activity involving the company, its securities or insiders.
Suspension/Halt — A regulatory authority or an exchange has halted or suspended trading for public interest concerns (i.e. not a news or earnings halt).
Undisclosed Corporate Actions — The security or company is the subject of a corporate action, such as a reverse merger, stock split, or name change, without adequate current information being publicly available.
Unsolicited Quotes — The security has only been quoted on an unsolicited basis since it entered the public markets and the company has not made adequate current information available to the public.
Other Public Interest Concern — OTC Markets Group may determine that there is a public interest concern regarding the security. Such concerns may include but are not limited to promotion, spam or disruptive corporate actions even when adequate current information is available.
When Does Caveat Emptor Get Removed?

Facts and circumstances may differ, however generally, OTC Markets Group will remove the Caveat Emptor designation once the company meets the qualifications for Pink Current Information, has verified the information on its company profile on www.otcmarkets.com, and demonstrates that there is no longer a public interest concern. The Caveat Emptor designation is typically not removed within the first 30 days. During the time it is labeled Caveat Emptor, any stock that is not in Pink Current Information will also have its quotes blocked on www.otcmarkets.com.
