Yup, that is definately one of the areas of fault in the whole system. Another is that they are even allowed to be gagged. If a company desires to be traded publicly, it should be an emphatic right that s/h's have access to the numbers. Period. Gag the TA, get halted.
The brokers were saying there were too many fly by night TA's too. Everyone remembers BHUB and a bunch of other stocks that were using that Canadian TA....
