I'm not following that drama that closely but it is certainly something that affects all issues and the broader market. How much? I could not say.
RT made a point once that he is in full compliance with the SEC and the public broadcast of a Caveat Emptor Warning with a required fee along with required personal information not required by the SEC was objectionable and I believe possibly illegal.
I'll admit the picksheets sounded like a nobel endeavor when Pinksheets.com relaunched under new ownership but the chips will fall where they may with regards to all that.
I'm very pleased with RTs publicly candid explanations and in fact I'm more impressed with them than the Picksheets explanations of who and what they are, what they do and the how and why of what they're doing.
Actually, I've found much conflict over time in picksheets publications and stated objectives and believe they are just raising the admission price to a private club and using an exthortion model to entice membership.
Credit bureaus are regulated and do not require a fee to contest information diseminated.
Pinksheets are not regulated and answers only to their bottom line while acting in the capacity of an authority and require a substanial annual fee plus ongoing fees to participate.
I do see much of what they do will be challenged as taking on such a roll in the market should be met with much scrutiny. The power to influence, abuse, and manipulate the market is at stake!
So anything new on the website yet??? 12 more hours of March 1st left!
