240.10b-5 Employment of manipulative and deceptive devices
When I lived in Germany, I use to remind the companies I advised in these exact discrepancies. In the Code of Federal Regualtions (CFR's) as we call them there is one that you should understand when it comes to US traded equities.
Securities Fraud 10b-5
240.10b-5 Employment of manipulative and deceptive devices
What are the elements of a 10b-5 claim? “To succeed on a Rule 10b-5 fraud claim [based on an untrue statement or omission of a material fact], a plaintiff must establish (1) a false statement or omission of material fact; (2) made with scienter; (3) upon which the plaintiff justifiably relied; (4) that proximately caused the plaintiff's injury.

Enron = Bad Berkshire Hathaway = Good
The intelligent people taking risks in the OTC market are doing research beyond Yahoo and boards like this. The gamblers are gamblers and they are betting on football games and the OTC. Both have high risk but are not the same.
