OTCBB Down But By No Means Out
OTCBB: Total Dollar Volume by Year
(2000 - 2007)
As the chart indicates, dollar value dipped below $44 billion for the first time in '07 since '03. This is no bombshell since the economy has been shaky at best as of late.
The OTCBB also provides a graphic depiction of the monthly dollar value of securities traded on the exchange from 8/07 to 8/08 (chart below to left), which is also quite interesting in my opinion.
OTCBB: Total Dollar Volume by Month
While the overall Bulletin Board exchange may have seen better days, there are still a great number of compelling plays in this arena and a great deal of money to be made in playing BB Stocks.
Here's a few examples of some recent small cap success stories that should have you watching the exchange despite it being down overall from many angles:
Quest Minerals & Mining Corp. (OTCBB: QMNM) recent advanced more than 4,000% in just 3 trading sessions, running from $.0016 to $.075 from 6/18 to 6/23. Roughly every $1,000 invested at the recent low yielded profits of approximately $43,000. Not bad for three days of pointing and clicking.
City Loan Inc. (OTCBB: CYLN) advanced near 3,2000% Tuesday on 30K shares traded and followed up that performance today gaining 50% or $.05 on modest volume of 2.679. CYLN is now showing potential to reach higher highs as its financial situation improves and the company pushes forward with aggressive expansion plans. As I've mentioned previously CYLN operates in the somber, but prosperous auto title loan industry and could transform itself into a national market leader if growth objectives are met over the next 12-24 months.
Quantum Technologies (OTCBB: QTWW) ran from $.50 on 1/30 to more than $3.00 in July for +500% gains on sheer future potential despite a horrendous bottom line, for now at least.
Biophan Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: BIPH) - a medical device company focussed on treatment of acute heart failure - gained 212% or nearly $.02 Wednesday on news it recently eliminated $2.3M in dilutive financing .
Location Based Technologies (OTCBB: LBAS) - a provider of personal location solutions - has seen its stock price surge from the $1.50 range back in July of '07 to a recent high of $10.61 this past summer for gains exceeding 600%.

As depicted by the chart to the right, total dollar volume has been dropping considerably over the past year with August figures representing a nearly 60% decrease. In addition, total share volume is down almost 20%. So, things have certainly been better for the exchange in past months.
