Yeah, I was once considering building an OTCBB trader that would trade all the pennystock promo bullshit and see which (if any) lists actually worked and just trade the spam. The amount of degenerate gamblers in that industry is insane.

Almost built a claim jumping / claim expiry bot for mineral titles. Claim expires tomorrow? Grab it at 9 AM? Claims made today? Stake the blocks around them.

I think anyone with half a brain would clean up on OTCBB with a little automation.



You'd think so but the problem is volume. When it's time to buy you can't get enough shares at the price you want and when it's time to sell, there's no buyers.

I used to trade pennies for fun, because maybe I was one of those degenerate gamblers. Options trading can be just as much fun.
