#33800 RE: OTC_Analyst #33794

Wow just wow! Wrong again on so many levels.

The SEC didn't put caveat emptor on UOIP OTC Markets did lol


You stated UOIP got caveat emptor because they didn't supply filings to brokers? WTF? That is so wrong as no one supplies filings to any brokers lol.

The reason for caveat emptor aka skull and crossbones is below Lmfao


OTC Markets Group designates certain securities as “Caveat Emptor” and places a skull and crossbones icon next to the stock symbol to inform investors that there may be reason to exercise additional care and perform thorough due diligence before making an investment decision in that security. The Caveat Emptor symbol is publicly displayed on the www.otcmarkets.com website and is distributed on market data feeds.

The Caveat Emptor Designation is Assigned When OTC Markets Becomes Aware of:

Promotion/Spam without Adequate Current Information — The security is being promoted to the public, but adequate current information about the company has not been made available to the public. Promotional activities may include spam email, unsolicited faxes or news releases, whether published by the company or a third party.
Investigation of Fraud or Other Criminal Activities — There is an investigation or other indication of fraudulent or other criminal activity involving the company, its securities or insiders.
Suspension/Halt — A regulatory authority or an exchange has halted or suspended trading for public interest concerns (i.e. not a news or earnings halt).
Undisclosed Corporate Actions — The security or company is the subject of a corporate action, such as a reverse merger, stock split, or name change, without adequate current information being publicly available.
Unsolicited Quotes — The security has only been quoted on an unsolicited basis since it entered the public markets and the company has not made adequate current information available to the public.
Other Public Interest Concern — OTC Markets Group may determine that there is a public interest concern regarding the security. Such concerns may include but are not limited to promotion, spam or disruptive corporate actions even when adequate current information is available.
When Does Caveat Emptor Get Removed?

Facts and circumstances may differ, however generally, OTC Markets Group will remove the Caveat Emptor designation once the company meets the qualifications for Pink Current Information, has verified the information on its company profile on www.otcmarkets.com, and demonstrates that there is no longer a public interest concern. The Caveat Emptor designation is typically not removed within the first 30 days. During the time it is labeled Caveat Emptor, any stock that is not in Pink Current Information will also have its quotes blocked on www.otcmarkets.com.

Some Corrections:
Caveat Emptor is not assigned by the SEC - it is an OTC sign.
Caveat Emptor is assigned if they don't file. Not because they are trips.
Filings are not through brokers - they are filed with the SEC.
Brokers choose whether to allow trading on Caveat Emptor, Pink stop and pink yield. E*TRADE allows all.
All current and past SEC filings can be found at OTCMarkets.com, under 'filings' for any ticker. It is the VERY first thing I read about any ticker.

Many symbols in the "No bid" area or trip-0s are usually labeled with Caveat Emptor. It's a precaution.


OTC_Analyst, respectfully, that's not the reason. It was because of their silence after CISCO's six IPR's were denied.

All UOIP's management (Mr. Rob Howe) had to do---on 3/28 OR THEREAFTER---was to issue a PR or 8K BUT HE DIDN'T & IMO DIDN'T CARE TO. Even though (as you say) it's a lengthy process to reverse it. Which UOIP's experienced management should have known
http://www.otcmarkets.com/market-activity/caveat-emptor-changes?search=uoip&searchType=symbol


For anyone who doesn't know the CE symbol was added on 3/28 when news leaked out that Cisco six IPR petitions had been denied. The UOIP stock rallied from .0001 to .0006 from 3/27 - 3/28, on 41 mil and 147 mil shares, respectively.

If Mr. Howe were to have COMMUNICATED THE REASON FOR THE SUDDEN PRICE SPIKE IN THE STOCK, this CE situation could have been avoided imo. But he did not care to publicly disclose the reason for the price spike. I do not buy the argument by longs he was restricted, that it was confidential insider info, etc. He could have filed an 8K or issued a PR AFTER 3/30 when it became public info.

Clearly, Mr. Howe does not give a hoot imo about common investors and for that reason ... if it becomes necessary next year to pay the lawyers, it would surprise me if Billy's common was swapped for Preferred and some of that 6 Bil AS were utilized. From the 12/31/15 10Q Balance Sheet

Common stock ($.001 par value; 6,000,000,000 shares authorized; 966,928,504 and 912,466,204 shares issued and outstanding, respectively)

All imo
