The Real DTCC Discussion

[jbsliverer]

Yes, this is what I've been saying over and over. The viability and volume or liquidity that this list is are not good. Whether or not one wants to debate that the actual "chill" had the effect, the bottom line is that the whole group of them are indications of what they are and develops detrimental odds of any current or future listed stock or ticker that gets itself on it.

Some tickers have already gone to trips and/or no volume or just worthless sporadic volume before being put on the list. Just complete lack of feasibility to trade or invest in them.

Now excuse the long post here with all the pics, it took eight of them to get them all, but it does show the reality of the situation.

There are some idiosyncrasies to the data here and it is assumed that one looking at them can have some basic intelligence and be able to see the big picture. For example, a stock may or may not have a "D" on it when it should or should not. A stock may no longer be there. There are examples of companies that went completely dark or private or just got kicked out of the market. Some of the volumes showing may be just trading that took place weeks ago (not today) due to the intermittent volume days and only showing the last day that it was traded. This is more prevalent with the lower volumes and/or lower trip stocks. I might be missing one or two on this particular list.

These are examples where one has to look further into any particular symbol, but it won't skew the general picture that is being implied and shown.

But Mikey's list is accurate and anyone can pull out any specific symbol and get any data that is available. There are Pumps and Dumps and MOMO crews that interact with a relatively few symbols on the DTC list, and there will be some viable trading in a smaller percentage of them. But overall the general prognosis is quite negative over time for overwhelmingly most of the DTC listed stocks.

I'm working on a spreadsheet that will have a lot more data and hopefully will be more specific to the entire situation for each stock. But this will do in a pinch.

These are sorted by volume, but again some of the lower volumes and even couple of larger volumes were not today 2/21/12, but just the last day they were traded. Half of them aren't being traded at all (which is including ones that aren't worth mentioning in volume or too sporadic in trading for viability).
