Micro Cap Stock Crisis and What You Can to Avoid it by TOMALLINDER on JULY 17, 2011 Over the last few weeks a lot has happened in the micro cap world. Probably the biggest thing is the fact that one of the largest clearing houses, Penson Financial Services, will no longer clear stocks under a dime.
A few weeks ago, Penson put in place a new policy that essentially paralyzed all stock deposits, clearing and what have you for sub dime stocks. This new policy is across the board meaning no certs, no DWAC, DRS, ACAT or any other method for any stock under a dime.
Obviously this does not affect companies that clear elsewhere… yet. Rumor has it that other big houses will follow suit.
