2 IMPORTANT PARAGRAPHS IN THIS STORY BELOW MENTION NEW NASD RULES:

1. The rule itself, while welcomed by small companies and their shareholders in the U.S., nevertheless raised an outcry because the NASD's request to put it into effect had set on a shelf at the SEC since 2001.

The other paragraph I pulled out of below story shows how crooked otc bb companies enroll famous people AS DIRECTORS AND SHAREHOLDERS, some of which have inappropriately taken stances against naked shorts without disclosing their own $$$ interest IN THE ACTUAL SCAMS. For example, FAMOUS COLUMNIST JACK ANDERSON used his writing fame in bashes against naked short sellers, never disclosed his self interest as he was involved in this VERY QUESTIONABLE PUBLIC COMPANY (otc bb hqnt) H-Quotient Inc. covered by the very accurate and detailed website

http://www.our-street.com/Hquotient.htm and well respected short seller Manuel Asensio http://www.asensio.com/PoliticalAdvocacy/CommentaryView.aspx?ReportId=496&CompanyId=131&CompanyName=Commentary

2. Recently, renowned columnist, Jack Anderson, who writes the "Washington Merry-Go-Round," alleged that much of the naked short selling in small cap stocks drains small U.S. companies of their market caps and their small investors of their nest-eggs specifically to funnel money into terrorist hands, a sort of double-whammy against the American capitalist system.
