Great information fireopal! I wonder how these 'make believe' companies are able to even issue stocks to be traded? I mean, could I go down to the county courthouse, get my DBA and start issuing stocks? Do they have to be incorporated? I don't know anything about that process of how a company issues shares of stock but it seems those companies would have to present some sort of credentials to even get started trading, even as pinks. Who does all the paperwork and arrangements, how do they get a ticker symbol? etc etc.

Also, what is A/S ?

Thanks.
