Why JOIN OTCQX? See below!!!

https://www.otciq.com/otciq/otcqx-us



OTCQX
The Quality-Controlled Marketplace
Who Should Join OTCQX?
Many U.S. companies join OTCQX as the final step toward a NASDAQ or NYSE listing. Others enjoy the efficient compliance-driven and cost-effective model it offers their investors outside of a traditional exchange listing. For companies moving off a U.S. exchange, OTCQX is the ideal home, providing most of the services the company and their investors have come to expect from a listed market


Investors Prefer OTCQX
OTCQX separates out the credible companies from the large number of economically distressed and questionable companies that trade OTC. Companies that join OTCQX demonstrate their commitment to providing superior information to investors 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 stock and trade reports are disseminated through Yahoo, Bloomberg, Reuters, and most other financial data providers

In addition, investors can view Real-Time Level 2 Quotes for all OTCQX companies for free on www.otcmarkets.com
