Small-Cap Pink Stocks Seven Lower-Risk Pinks
It happens all the time on this thinly regulated exchange. The Pinks are crawling with pump-and-dump penny stocks and even sub-penny shell companies that do nothing more than issue periodic press releases and more shares of worthless stock. There are always new investors to scam, and new press releases with new business plans to push. Crooked companies flock to this exchange, all too eager to fleece unsuspecting investors of their hard-earned money. And then there's the scarcity of information available to investors on many of these companies. You see, the Pink Sheets is not an exchange like the NASDAQ or AMEX -- it's only a quotation service. The only requirement a company faces on the Pinks is that it must have at least one market maker quoting its stock. Financials do not need to be disclosed. Even on the OTCBB, companies are required to keep current filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. ************************* How a $63 Million "Drug Recycler" Will Rescue Every Major Pharma Player Learn more about this pick and more explosive biotechs in the new Penny Stock Fortunes... ************************* These hurdles can make the information gathering process for Pink Sheet investors very frustrating. But there is a very small group of stocks on the Pink Sheets that every small-cap investor should know about. If you're looking to invest in Pink Sheet securities instead of making quick trades on momentum, this is the place you should look. It's a new premium listing service on the Pinks called OTCQX. The new listing service includes three different levels, each with specific requirements for the companies. The top tier is called PremierQX. These are securities that trade for a minimum of $1 and meet all of the requirements to be listed on a national stock exchange. This means the companies are required to post quarterly and annual reports, and also interim information that could affect share prices. PrimeQX stocks must also meet the requirements to be listed on a major exchange. However, the stocks listed in this group do not have to trade for the $1 minimum. International OTCQX stocks must meet requirements of their foreign exchange and make their reports available in English. All three groups require the companies to maintain ongoing operations (this helps keep those pesky shell companies out of the picture). Together, these three lists make up the safest investments on the Pinks. It's a great place to start looking if you've never invested in these types of companies before. ************************* Get Ready for the SECOND WAVE HOUSING TSUNAMI Wall Street... Main Street... nobody's money is safe. However, I can give you three very simple, solid ways to "hedge" your retirement and property savings against this coming mega-bust... In fact, if I hear from you before the end of the day today ... I'll even pay you up to $307 to look it over... Read on for details... ************************* As of today, there are only seven companies listed on the OTCQX: Computer Services, Inc. (OTCQX: CSVI), Meritage Hospitality Group, Inc. (OTCQX: MHGU), Moro Corporation (OTCQX: MRCR), Day Software Holding A.G. (OTCQX: DYIHY), Globex Mining Enterprises, Inc. (OTCQX: GLBXF), Wal-Mart de Mexico S.A.B. (OTCQX: WMMVY) and Starpharma Holdings Ltd. (OTCQX: SPHRY). And the list is practically brand new (it commenced trading on March 5). But more stocks should be added to these groups in the very near future. In fact, the people at Pink Sheets are currently processing applications filed by 20 more companies. The quotation service will probably announce additions to the OTCQX lists soon. This could be great exposure for some small, legit firms. And it could also be a great opportunity for savvy penny investors to score shares. We'll break down a few select OTCQX companies from the list next week Best, P.S.: If you want to learn more about unique investment opportunities, then please join us at the 2007 Agora Wealth Symposium for "Rim of Fire: Globalization, Crisis & Opportunity."
