IMO, 95% of OTC stocks are outright scams, the remainder aren't much better and very few are legit companies. The percentage of shareholders posting on message boards is minimal and outside of a true pump and dump or group front loading a garbage stock has little to no effect on the marketplace IMO, but makes for good entertainment. Almost all news is forward looking and should be taken with a grain of salt, for every ticker, not just here. No lifeguard in the OTC pool, swim at your own risk. But, trades do happen daily, investment grade trades almost never IMO.
