Pinks still have to file for the insider and institutional trades. Yes, I believe it is more lax in the pinks, but it is tightening up as of late; ie; short reporting. I think the finances are not audited as diligently, so many aren't " formally audited or reporting as they would be required to do for uplisting. It's definitely the riskier pinks....
The failure to uplist is complex, as HISC was to merge with Actsoft and uplist, but the deal queered, and the EVSI dividend was postponed twice, and the BOD's had a shakeup and a new direction announced by Wicks. No one know the real inside reasons for all that merger, acquisition, shell business, but the Bod's moves since then seem to be better thought out. Let's hope so......
Wayne... the reason you don't see them by symbol is because they're a pinksheet company. OTC stock symbols will all be there because they are fully reporting. That doesn't keep you from finding them on the SEC site though. You just have to search via company name. For instance with HISS, just enter "Homeland I" and you'll see all their filings. You just need to put in enough text to uniquely identify the security you're looking for. If you just entered "Homeland," it would return a list of all securities that start with the word "Homeland" so either way you'll be able to find the one you're looking for. You will see 4 filings by HISS. Two REGDEX forms, the SB-2, and an RW to withdraw the SB-2. Here is the link: http://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?company=homeland+int&CIK=&filenum=&State=&SI....
