The sooner Dean gets us off the Pinks - and on to the OTCQX, a relatively new exchange, at a minimum, the sooner the MM manipulation will be minimized. If enough folks request it when e-mailing him or talking to him he might raise it on his list of priorities. See the advantages of a listing on the OTCQX below:

The OTCQX marketplace is the premier tier of the U.S. over-the-counter market.

Investor-focused companies use the quality controlled OTCQX listing platform to offer investors transparent trading, superior information, and easy access through their regulated U.S. broker-dealers. The innovative OTCQX platform offers companies and their shareholders a level of marketplace services formerly available only on a U.S. exchange.

Who Should List on OTCQX

Many U.S. companies list on OTCQX as the final step toward a NASDAQ or NYSE listing. Others enjoy the efficient compliance-driven model it offers their shareholders outside of a traditional exchange listing which may come with considerable cost savings. For companies moving off an exchange, OTCQX is the ideal home that provides most of the services they and their shareholders have come to expect on a listed market.

Why Investors Prefer OTCQX

Investors prefer the quality controlled listing process on OTCQX which identifies the segment of OTC-traded companies focused on valuation and transparency. Companies that list on OTCQX demonstrate their commitment to providing superior information to shareholders and maintaining the highest quality standards.
OTCQX is fully electronic and gives investors access through all major online and full-service brokerage firms in the U.S., including Schwab, E*TRADE, Scottrade, TD Ameritrade, and Fidelity. Trades are settled and cleared in the U.S. similar to any NASDAQ or NYSE security and trade reports are disseminated through Yahoo, Bloomberg, Reuters, and most other financial data providers.

In addition, Real-Time Level 2 Quote Display (full quote montage) is available free to the investing public.
Services to Issuers

OTCQX provides services to companies which enable them to stay informed about their trading activities, while OTCQX shareholders and investors benefit from transparent trading and easy access to company information.

· OTCIQ - Market Intelligence for Investor Relations officers. Providing real-time quote and trade data as well as historical trading data
· Weekly Market Report summary of your security's trading activity, which can be conveniently distributed to your board, management team, and shareholders
