sadly paula (for our entire way of life in this country) i have to agree with this comment of yours

the truth is they are afraid to trade in pennies because there is so much counterfeit on the market that they don't know what's real and what isn't. Killing off the companies by choking off financing is easier than cleaning up their mess.

they'd rather have wall street and off shore unregulated entities be able to cover their ass .. than implement kaufman's very simple but very specific plan of hard locates .. and clearly the reason is due to counterfeited shares that *overwhelm* the system but are always swept under the proverbial rug
they would have to admit their gross and egregious *complicity* where said counterfeiting of shares is involved as well if revealed
apparently it's better to kill off legit co.s (and most of the middle class in this country) in the micro cap range than be adults and deal with this *crippling* issue that impacts every strata of the US economy
