Grey (or Expert) to Pink

[creede]

Thanks for the good words. Biggest motley crew of stock tickers you will ever see.

re calling the Broker Dealers —

It was a first for me as well. Just trying to learn as an outsider looking in.

Re T/A Verified —

I think anywhere you see the little shield, you know the numbers are correct.

Notice each one is verified except the float itself.

I called OTCM a few weeks ago to ask about how this can be possible. There seems to be some kind of agreement in place where the share counts are updated electronically — even for tickers extremely neglected.

As to why some get moved to Expert vs Pink I am of the opinion the primary driver is past SEC suspensions.

Now this is for CE stocks only. Still trying to figure out the rest. Could be that a Market Maker has requested they allow unsolicited quotes. If that’s it then there really is no way to predict what may or may not come forth.
