hi folks, I was trading the ultra low otc and pink sheet stock, you know like 0.02 cents per share for a while and wow did I make some nice profits in the first month. Well it didn`t last long aye and the next month the fun began. The reverse splits were coming left - right - and centre, eg reverse split 1000:1, so a price at 0.02 cents before the split should in theory become 20 cents a share. Well folks before the day was over that 20 cents share dropped to 10 or even 4 cents a share and I lost 50-80% on my gamble. That is if I was quick enough to sell the first day, otherwise my losses would even be higher! Now I wonder if these reverse splits must be filed somewhere, BEFORE the company can implement these changes? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
the two daily update on otcbb.com should give you a forewarning you can sign up for a daily update email
www.otcbb.com on the top part of the page the first heading in the row of headers you should see daily list when you click on that you should see to your right a header named headlines click on the latest year for example and it takes you to another page where you will see three columns of info the first two columns will show info of any reverse split that will take place shortly along with name changes etc etc etc, the last columns has any divy info hope this helped
thx very much for your assistance. however , i do not receive the information in the manner you describe. eg.

strange as i see exactly what i was mentioning try this go to the date Jan 29 with the time 4:01:56 look down the list and you see a couple examples of r/s being mentioned that will take place the next day sometimes the daily list will even give you more than a days notice click on the date and time link and it will be much clearer
the word reverse does not show. please give me the name of a co. which shows a reverse split for some reason i am getting the page in text rather than html note the txt in the url address http://www.otcbb.com/dailylist/txthistory/BB01292007.txt

i see the r/s. is it possible to get the information in the more readable 3 column format? the text fprmat does not allowing clicking for further info.
yes r/s means reverse split try the link below for a cleaner page ( sorry didn't think of this earlier ) http://www.otcbb.com/asp/dailylist_detail.asp?d=01/29/2007&mkt_ctg=OTCBB and on this one there is an example of not going ahead with a r/s http://www.otcbb.com/asp/dailylist_detail.asp?d=01/31/2007&mkt_ctg=NON-OTCBB
