I don't really understand it well enough myself. I am hoping more knowledgeable people here will be able to explain to me.
Possible explanations
- They have been clearing a lot of pennies in a sloppy manner - off books, NSS, etc--and new regulations will make it risky for them to have these stocks on their books.
- They are simply responding to DTCC rulings and having to manually clear millions of certificates for pennies - very expensive. I don't buy this because in the case of MMTE, I have found no proof it is DTC ineligible.
- They are facing huge losses and trying to make up for it with exorbitant fees from trapped penny stock holders.
I look forward to postings from more knowledgeable folks.
Thanks and good luck.
