That's different trade, there's nothing wrong with playing them and making money, its just being deceitful while trying to do so that's wrong on sooooo many levels.
People buy and sell stock, that's what its all about. And if your not pumping something, then I don't see playing it as wrong.
I've laid off most OTC/OTCBB stocks until I start seeing some liquidity return to these markets.
Its just been to easy to play these big board stocks, which are nearly trading at penny levels. At least you know your buying shares of a legitimate company...lol
But I'm not investing in these either, just looking for these quick flips and we're doing pretty well.
When I see consistent liquidity return to the OTC/OTCBB markets, then I'll start paying more attention, because they'll be a lot easier to play with regularity.
But for now, the volume is sparse, except for the stocks already being run and its hit/miss being in at the right time IMO.
