Microcaps : It should be common knowledge that Pink Sheet stocks report to OTC Pink Sheets and NOT to the SEC . However , the SEC is still the overseer and has full power to invoke an Administrative Proceeding against any Pink Sheet Security for various reasons . The topic I addressed was about Financials still being required for Pinks to the OTC Markets , and a prolonged failure to file unaudited Financials as has occured for Cotton and Western can result in an SEC demand to do so , via an Admin Proceeding .
With the links I provided in my prior post one can see that the SEC has served Admin Proceedings against dozens of Pink Sheet Securities for failure to file Fins .
With the DTCC action and CWRN downgraded to Caveat Emptor the company is at greater risk of an SEC Admin Proceeding that typically gives a subject company ten days to file Fins or face SEC Litigation and an SEC filing to the Courts for revocation .
It would be prudent for C&W to get their Financials filed to circumvent the SEC stepping in .
Caveat Emptor also raises serious concerns , and can be one or more of the following reasons :
Cotton & Western Mining, Inc. CWRN
