I trade for a living, but not otc listed issuers. TSE, LSE, NYSE, TASE, NDAQ (large caps for the most part).
From what I understand (will not mention names) there's a prop trader in Denver (with WDCO) and the head of otc listed trading in Charleston (with ADTF) who are friends (all the way from back in HS). Pretty obvious who the most active market makers are and have been with all of the APS p&d's going all the way back to POTG.
No way can 2 people/traders maintain pump-prop/wash trading volume in more than 1 volatile otc listed issuer at a time. Done with PWEID, time to move on to SVEN.
FINRA's well aware of this but has done NOTHING about it to date.
Coulson's fairly responsive, but unless he's told he can do nothing. No doubt SVEN is an APS promo p&d and given previous CTO's/suspensions/trading halts/delistings, my guess is he's willing to act responsibly as the de facto US regulator for the p&d exchange.
That was a very nice report on PWEID. The Infitialis guys did a nice job as well but they do work for a living and it's too hard to make a living trading promo p&d's without crossing the line once in a while like the 2 traders at WDCO/ATDF do and have done. Ditto on most of the nominee execs of these p&d's and the promoters.
