Market Makers of Bulletin Board securities are unable to use electronic means to interact with other dealers to execute trades. They must manually interact with the market, i.e. use standard phone lines to communicate with other dealers to execute trades. This can and does cause delays in the time it takes to interact with the market place. This coupled with the recent increase in volume has led to wide price fluctuations in Bulletin Board securities, and lengthy delays in execution times as well as the reporting of execution times. Clients should use caution when placing market orders and understand the risks associated with trading in Bulletin Board securities.
