Companies should be allowed to leave the dTC as voted on by their
stock holders. the DTC doesnt want to fix their loopholes, but,
make it more difficutl by only letting the individual
stockholders exit. that is wrong.  the DTC needs to fix it's
system that is being jerked around and loopholed by the market
makers. the dtc needs to be reformed and fixed.  the BB and Pink
sheet stocks, as well as Gray are being run into the ground by
lack of controls . the SEC should make the dTC fix the problem.
The SEC should have the same rules on naked shorting as they have
at the nasdaq the nyse and the amex.  you are allowing Market
Makers and bermuda short types, to rob the american small
business' blind by this wild west approach. if it is right for
the amex, nyxe and nasdaq, do it for the pinks, bulletin board
and gray market.  time to act. too many are into these baby
stocks since the web came into being. time to adapt to the
changes in the market and the peopl! e that demand equality under
the SEC

thank you, bruce barrett  787-707-3069 days
