Yo, Slo.....as we know, prior to Sept. 28th FINRA would delete tickers that were inactive for months or longer. POOF, gonzo.

U.S. Brokers are joining ranks and preventing buy orders and only allowing liquidation/sell orders on all OTC stocks that are not compliant with Amended Rule 15c2-11, BUT, Canadian Brokers are apparently still allowing buy orders. Perhaps the CDN Brokers will join ranks with U.S. Brokers and deny buy orders as well. Then the stocks not compliant with Amended Rule 15c2-11 would all become inactive and after a reasonable period of inactivity FINRA could delete the tickers.

With CDN Brokers still allowing buy orders I have no idea what FINRA will do if OTC stocks remain active when the SEC's intent is for those stocks to either get compliant with Rule 15c2-11 toot-de-sweet, or become inactive with no buy orders allowed.

I think Janice has a red phone hotline to FINRA so she's our best hope for answers to FINRA's plans.
