As I recall...the octbb.com numbers were the number you could rely on according to JaniceShell.
I think she mentioned at one point the official NASDAQ site's numbers were not reliable, and I think on another occasion she sited numbers from that site.
I think I remember reading the CIM (?) distribution number came from the DTC.
I agree with you....you can only work with the numbers from the press releases and these sites to arrive at some reasonable semblance of a conclusion on the number of shares actually in the market....actual shares and NSS.
Thanks for the simple breakdown. I can see where this can at least give us a reasonable estimate.
