I agree we haven’t seen the $1 listing requirement we had hoped for, but what we have seen in the last 6 months is the NASDAQ lower their initial listing requirement from a mandatory $4 per share to $3 and even $2 in some instances so this is good progress. Also, the JOBS Act is allowing private companies an easier public path via mini-IPO’s per se ($5m minimum) with direct listing on the NASDAQ. Again, steps in the right direction.

Do you know when the BX venture Market opens it’s doors for new issuer listings?
We need an exchange to cater to companies between OTC-BB and Nasdaq SC. Looks like this is going to be that bridge. I just have NOT heard any more news on this since 2011.

Granted many micro cap companies “stole” investor money but that is not the reason to throw all micro cap funding away altogether because they are the job creators.
It is not funny that taxpayers support big banks like Chase with FDIC insurance and they can trade securities that employee 3 people yet “can” lose 2 BILLION. Why can’t they figure out how to approve 10,000 loans at 200k each support small business. With logic like that, will we ever get to full employment? Hopefully the “jobs act” will turn the tide.

LOL yeah it does sound like monopoly. As long as the company performs I don’t mind a lack of liquidity because that will eventually change.

I thought it was more fun when it was just 5 or 10 guys trading the same names…like an endless game of Monopoly.
