I believe the original gagging was done due to the deluge of calls the TA was getting. Don't know if that's an excuse or a valid reason, but I've been in several other tickers that did the same thing with their TAs. Even heard that the TA charges the company X amount of $s for each inquiry of a stock SS...again, don't know if that's true or not...I've never asked a TA if they actually bill companies for SS inquiries. One would think they wouldn't...but I know they get tons of calls & emails from traders/investors down here in the OTC markets, so I can see how they would get tired of it. We lost that dealership because of an overwhelming amount of harassing calls, so maybe SB still has a bad taste in his mouth from that. Who knows...
