"who is otcbbpulse.com? who owns it?"

Bernard owns it:

OTC BB Pulse is operated sololy by Bernard Ng, an experienced trader in the US OTC market.

The start of OTC BB Pulse is simply because Bernard has too many stocks to track, and he needs an easy to use interface to manage his data. So readers should expect Bernard might have positions on some of the stock leads provided on OTC BB Pulse.
