There should be no pink / gray markets!!!! If a company cant file and have the nessesary goods to be in the public eye, Stay private, and screw theirselves!!!!
Uhhh, do you think only institutions or the super-wealthy should be allowed to buy stock in the world's largest and most profitable appliance manufacturer? That's what you're suggesting.
There are foreign companies out there like Electrolux, which has a long history of disclosure but thinks that Sarbanes-Oxley is ridiculous. Electrolux is listed on the Pink Sheets. Were they not, only investors with access to the Stockholm exchange would be able to invest.
