I believe, and I wish I knew how to change this, but I would think that in the case of OTC stocks that they either fell under the same safe trading rules ie stops as any other publicly traded company. The Idea that shorts can manipulate seemingly much more easily with less, excuse me NO recourse! I believe if they are publicly traded they should be publicly protected also. Why should we lift any company to this level and allow them to be set up as decoys for hedge fund companies to take them down? Yes I'm upset that CYDY is being manipulated, but there are many, many other companies that have risen to this level and are having their feet taken out from under them. Who knows, maybe if they had a time frame to uplist or they are removed from the market until they can prove their worth and sustainability. In the mean time protect them from shorts until they can play with the big boys. Just my opinion!
