American Home Business Network: What Happens When Stock Moves From OTC to NASDAQ

What Happens When Stock Moves From OTC to NASDAQ

By Sam Nielson

A question that I'm asked over and over again by new traders is what will happen to their OTCBB stock should it move from the OTCBB to a major exchange like the NASDAQ.

Unless some special arrangement has been made, and you will know this from your brokerage firm, your stock will automatically transition to the Nasdaq.

This scenario is called a jumper. There is a good chance that your stock shares will gain in value because it opens your stock up to a whole new set of investors who only trade on major exchanges.

If a change occurs in the ticker symbol, your brokerage house (Scottrade, Ameritrade, and so on) will contact you by your trading account and by regular snail mail.

But let me be clear about something. You are stupid if you think you can pick jumpers and make money at doing this.

Slick con artists and their publishing companies will try and sell you on some alert service that supposedly has a guaranteed track record at picking jumpers but they are lying. Every last one of them.

In the hundreds of traders I've spoke with over the years, not one of them has told me that he made money from picking jumper stocks more than he lost.

Reality check. If the company was such a good company selling such a hot product, they never would have been listed on the OTCBB in the first place. They would have opted for an original listing on the Nasdaq in the first place. The cost for a listing on a major exchange is hardly more than a listing on the OTCBB. The only difference is the reporting requirements. The disclosure that the company must provide investors on a timely and regular basis.

There's the dark truth. The only reason a company lists on the OTCBB is precisely because they do not want to meet the stricter reporting requirements of a major exchange. They do not want to disclose to investors the truth about what's really going on.

The only exchange fraught with more danger than the OTCBB is the pink sheets. But still, the OTCBB has thousands of fraudulent companies listed on it that will be delisted within a year and the CEO brought up on fraud charges by the SEC. Over many years, investing in the OTCBB because you want to bag a jumper stock will make you go broke. I should know, it happened to me. Yes, I'm a former jumper stock investor. As the saying goes, he who has grabbed a bull by the tail knows twice as much as he who never has. Don't go grab the bull by the tail. Learn from my painful experience.

Plus, think about this. The primary reason for investing in OTCBB was to get stocks cheap. Now that we are at a market bottom, many good companies listed on the major exchanges are at crazy OTCBB prices! Plus there's a lot less risk because stocks on the major exchanges have stricter disclosure and reporting laws they must follow than stocks listed on the OTCBB. So what is the advantage to the OTCBB at this present time? None.

Feature Article: Make the Leap to Home Based Business Success

Feature Article: Make the Leap to Home Based Business Success

Before you can have a successful home based business, you must first possess 3 "intangibles." These are things that must come from WITHIN you.

 ===> Intangible 1 <===

First, you must have a strong WHY.

Why MUST you have a successful home business? What is driving you? What is it that you CAN'T have in your life anymore and/or what is it that you absolutely MUST HAVE now?

For me, I couldn't stand working 12+ hours a day anymore and missing the experience of my children growing up. I also absolutely HAD TO HAVE the freedom of being able to control my life and finances through a little box (laptop computer) that I could carry with me anywhere in the world and not be tied to anyone's time pressures or demands but my own. That was my carrot and my stick. I felt a great pain deep in my gut of missing out on my children's lives and the incredible freedom that succeeding in a home based business would provide for me. I found my why. You MUST find yours.

===> Intangible 2 <===

You must BELIEVE that it is possible.

If you don't believe that it's POSSIBLE for you to have a successful home based business or make your living from home, you won't. It's that simple.

For me, figuring out that it was possible was just a matter of realizing that many other people were ALREADY making great money working from home. If they could do it, I could too. It would just be a matter of figuring out what those people were doing and then adapting it to my situation.

There is no shortage of undeniable PROOF that people (millions of them) are making money working from home. Just get online and do some research and you'll find countless testimonials and stories of REAL PEOPLE making real money on the Internet. Or head to your local bookstore and you'll find the same documented evidence of this fact. Truth is, it's getting easier and easier to make money with your own home based business.

I've always said that "affiliate marketing" (a simple way to make money from home) is the job of the future. In the "old" days, you had to go to a potential employer, apply for the position and hope for the best. Now you can simply go to any company you want, fill out their affiliate application and start work immediately. Affiliates are the new working class. In fact, making money with affiliate programs or making your living on the Internet is WAY MORE than possible. It is pretty much (or will be soon enough) unavoidable now. Affiliate marketing is the "job" of the future that's already here TODAY.

===> Intangible 3 <===

You must be willing to MAKE THE LEAP.

Ready, FIRE, then aim... This is the operating philosophy you MUST adopt to succeed with a home based business.

That's backwards for most people who like to aim before they fire. The fact is that home based business success is a moving target... The only thing constant about it is change. You need to stop analyzing the game and simply jump into it. You can't learn from the outside... You have to be IN THE RING to truly understand it.

The lesson here is that you will never really be READY to start a home based business. You simply have to start one. It's like having children... You're never really ready, but when it happens you adapt and grow. This is what I call "Making the Leap."

The good news is that the cost of failure with having your own home based business is very small. In the "brick and mortar" world you need to evaluate things very carefully before you decide to open up a business. It's almost always necessary to invest thousands of dollars to get an offline business off the ground. However, on the Internet you can often start a successful business for less than $100. The Plug-In Profit Site is a great example of this: http://www.PlugInProfitSite.com/main-21753

You simply need to get IN THE GAME... Each moment that you stay "out there," you're wasting valuable time that you could be learning and skills necessary to build a successful home based business. In fact, if you're not in the game yet, you're ALREADY behind the times. Make the leap to creating a successful home based business today!
