as to the misdirection that finra is eliminating the OTCBB,that is totally irrelevant technicality--highlighted below-meaningless for our purposes
people still use the OTCBB as a collective catch phrase-- for the OTCQB and OTCQX, which are NOT being eliminated
even if that were not true,we'd be upgraded to whatever technical designation followed the OTCBB-so its just a semantic game
OTCQB is not going anywere

The Marketplaces
OTC Markets Group organizes securities into the OTCQX®, OTCQB® and OTC Pink® tiered marketplaces to empower investors to make informed trading decisions.

The Venture Stage Marketplace with Current U.S. Reporting Companies
The OTCQB® marketplace offers informed trading for securities of smaller or developing companies that are reporting to a U.S. regulator (SEC, Bank, or Insurance). OTCQB has no minimum financial standards, therefore, it includes shells and penny stocks that are current in their disclosure to regulators.
The OTCQB marketplace has effectively replaced the FINRA operated OTC Bulletin Board (OTCBB) as the primary market for SEC and bank reporting securities that trade off the exchanges.
