VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Dec. 30, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Sports-Stuff.com Inc. (Pink Sheets:SSUF), a publisher and distributor of SMS alerts, mobile web sites, ringtones and mobile video games for the sports and entertainment industry, announced today that the Company has been granted eligibility status by the Depository Trust Company (DTC). The DTC provides banks, brokerage firms and other institutions with an efficient means of moving securities and settling trades electronically.
"Securities not DTC eligible are often not accepted for trading at many institutions or simply restricted from being traded on a daily basis due to the amount of paperwork or manpower required to place and execute trades," stated SSUF President Kevin Day. "Becoming DTC eligible resolves these issues and is a crucial step in increasing our exposure and attracting new investors to our company."
