If you woke up this morning and noticed that your favorite OTC stock was not trading, nor had market makers showing on Level 2 trading platforms, you are not alone. It looks as though the entire OTC Markets is experiencing a data overload issue early in trading Thursday.
This comes on the same day that the Twitter IPO is set to commence. Although likely unrelated, it is interesting the timing of the trading issues with the OTC Markets as Mortgage behemoths Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac reported profitable quarters and are expected to pay the US dividends of $8.5b and $30.4b respectively.
At the time of this post, there was not any information available on the OTC Markets website to further explain the technical issues this morning. Stay tuned...

Thoughts on Tesla Motors Share Price
Tesla Motors reported earnings today and the companies stock price continued it's descent since the 52-week high on September 30th of $194.50. The stock has lost nearly 25% since its 52-week high.
For those that read financial message boards, analyst reports, and even tweets about the company, the overarching sentiment is that the companies share price is substantially inflated. As it stands, the companies Market Cap of $18.5 billion puts it trading at a multiple of 11 times it's current sales. Today the company reported quarterly sales of $430 million suffering a loss of $38 million.
For a quick comparison of what other car manufacturers trade at, let's look at GM and Honda both trade at 30% of sales and 70% of sales, respectively. Thus, the 11 times sales for Tesla has likely inflated the companies valuation. Based on the competitors, the multiple should be substantially lower for Tesla, but since Tesla has tremendous growth potential don't expect them to trade the same multiple as these establish brands (just yet anyways).
It is likely the current trading has been on expectations for the companies future. They are building a solid brand and the company has experience tremendous demand for their Tesla Model S cars. Thus, the company has the basics in place to continue with their rapid growth. However, until the company can meet this demand by building the necessary infrastructure, the companies stock price is likely to continue to decline as this infrastructure will likely lead to losses over the next few quarters.
After seeing the recent price decline and trading action for Tesla, what are your thoughts on the future? Where will the bottom be for this stock price? Please share your thoughts.

SAC Capital Advisors Pleads Guilty: 7 Years Is Way Too Long
SAC Capital Advisors today plead guilty to insider trading. This is music to my ears! This has been known for several years and the SEC, as usual, is too slow to react.
This recent case opens the possibility that he, Steven A. Cohen, may be held personally liable.

IPO Talk: Twitter Takes Center Stage
Did you just step aside from your Twitter account to check out this article about the Twitter IPO? If you did, your tweets have been contributing to the hype of this latest social media IPO. Yes, your latest 140 characters have made Twitter that much more popular. Whether you tweet about stocks or tweet about your latest meal, the Twitter IPO is sure to garner your attention.
Twitter recently announced that they were going public not from an official press release, but from a 140 character or less tweet.
Yes, Twitter officially announced going public via the platform that has over 218.3 million active users, according to TechCrunch.com.
Early indications suggest that the company is planning to sell shares around $17 to $20, which would put the amount raised at around $1.6 million if they sell about 80 million shares. Wall Street analyst have stated that Twitter will have around 545 million shares outstanding, thus a $20 estimate would value the company at $10.9 billion. According to PrivCo, Twitter is expected to make $500 million in revenue up from 2012 when Twitter saw revenue of $245 million. Going into the IPO this actually seems quite reasonable since Facebook looks about 20x price to sales.
So is Twitter the next hyped IPO? Possibly. It is really up to the business model that Twitter defines in their SEC filings. Are they capable of growth and gaining revenue via advertisements and paid sponsorship of Twitter tweets? The initial future looks relatively bright, but what's troublesome is their technology. For the most part, this technology can be replicated since Twitter does not have a patent to protect their 140 character tweets. The barriers to entry are minimal and companies that want to replicate the success and utilize the Twitter technology can do so. Thus, it will be interesting to see what the company releases in their IPO filings regarding the future of the company.
So what can you expect from Twitter's IPO? A lot of hype!
Therefore, Day 1 will likely be up, as anything below the IPO price will initiate lawsuits, so traders can potentially make gains on Twitter's IPO just like many did on Day 1 of Facebook's IPO.
As far as Twitter's future, I would expect to see the company maintain significant growth over the next few years.
In related news, it looks like the NYSE is preparing for the Twitter IPO. It would be nice to avoid the start of Facebook's IPO, which was delayed nearly 30 minutes.

We’ve confidentially submitted an S-1 to the SEC for a planned IPO. This Tweet does not constitute an offer of any securities for sale.

Barriers to Small Business Growth
The CEO of the OTC Markets Mr. Coulson, addresses the House subcommittee on capital formation in June 2013. In his talking points he mentions several barriers to small business growth. The main point he discusses is the tax rates for small businesses and how their higher tax rates compared to larger corporate firms puts them at a capital disadvantage. In addition, he mentions that there should be additional transparency when it comes to who is behind trades.
Toxic Financing Deals: The Love of Short-Sellers
You may have come across an OTC stock over your years of trading and investing that had one of the worst combination for any OTC investor and the company for that matter. At some point the company decided to take on debt to finance operations, which included the rights of the debtor to call the debt due and have shares issued to cover the debt. This convertible debt is commonly referred to as toxic financing.
From an investors perspective it is relatively obvious how damaging this type of toxic financing can be to your investment. Once the debt is converted into shares of common stock, the sale in the public markets inevitably dilutes the percentage ownership of your shares in that company. The additional shares in the market, if not acquired by interested buyers, can depress the stock price. This form of dilution is music to the ears of short sellers who can have a tremendous impact on the stock price during the dilution.
Here is a basic scenario of what happens during periods of dilution, and the ultimate reason for a stock pps decline:
The solution to this problem needs to be addressed by the markets them self. Institutional investors, banks, and large retail investors do not like the risk involved with these types of companies. Thus, these companies have limited resources when it comes to raising financing. A desperate CEO will likely end up taking a toxic deal in the hopes that they can pay the debt prior to it maturing. When they can't, the market value of that company takes a huge hit.
Making additional financing options available to these small and micro-cap companies will help to address some of these market-related issues. Companies will take on less toxic financing and hopefully have better opportunities to grow their business.

This form of dilution is music to the ears of short sellers who can have a tremendous impact on the stock price during the dilution.
Here is a basic scenario of what happens during periods of dilution, and the ultimate reason for a stock pps decline:
- Dilutive MM shows up on the ask (e.g. BMAK or VFIN/VERT)
- MM's such as VFIN & VERT work in tandem to maximize the pps realized for the group or individual selling the stock.
- One shows on the bid to symbolize strength, while the other will show 10k on the ask so that those buying will buy at the ask instead of parking on the bid
- It might take a day or two for the market to realize that dilution is in fact taking place
- The chatter on stock message boards quickly changes
- New aliases show up touting the ill effects of this dilution, calling the company a scam, POS, and more
- This causes emotional investors to react irrationally selling into the bid
- Short-selling commences and often-times involves them jumping over the dilutive MM to sell shares to the interested buyers
- Then the walls on the ask show up to push the price lower to be able to cover
- If the dilutive MM is not finishing selling their shares, this cycle continues and the short-sellers can continue to depress the stock price
The solution to this problem needs to be addressed by the markets them self. Institutional investors, banks, and large retail investors do not like the risk involved with these types of companies. Thus, these companies have limited resources when it comes to raising financing. A desperate CEO will likely end up taking a toxic deal in the hopes that they can pay the debt prior to it maturing.

FMCC Weekly Chart - Bullish Patterns
The weekly chart on FMCC is starting to become rather bullish. The weekly technical signals are showing many of the indicators turning bullish, nearing positive territory or already bullish. The bollinger bands are pinching on the weekly, which could give rise to a price appreciation if the trading breaks through the top bollinger band. These technical signals are inline with upcoming filings by both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac expected sometime in November. Positive news, along with technicals, as seen in the weekly FMCC, will likely help the price appreciation expected by those currently holding shares or buying leading up to the financials. There is still much in the way of proving that FMCC will remain viable in the long-run (i.e. won't be disbanned by the gov't), but the technicals are bullish at this time.

SBRH - 170,323,125 up 50%
TGGI - 493,433,232 up 300%
Analysis below provided by Bodach for this weeks contest:
What a week this will be for the MVP picks!!! These are some gems.
ACLP -- Read RIPPERS DD notes to find out why.
CBYI -- will probably gap down hard and run. Play carefully and make some huge profits, imo. Besides my own pick, this is what I think will win this week via the gap down and expected volatility afterwards.
EWSI -- dilutive MMs gone. VFIN VNDM and MAXM laid off as of Thursday. People will want to get back in before the monster Q3. Great long play as well.
GLER -- I think it's more of a pump, but should certainly see a great spike, imo. Trade carefully, and profit big.
MINE -- due for the next big leg up.
XNRG -- if dilution verifiably ends, it can correct back to 2-week ago prices, thus a 100%+ gain. Solid pick!
