NewMarket Technology, Inc. Releases Information on the Recent FINRA Limit Order Protection Rule

DALLAS, TX--(Marketwire - January 8, 2009) - NewMarket Technology, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: NMKT) management was invited to participate in a Webinar for OTC issuers on December 10, 2008 that discussed in detail the changes surrounding the new FINRA Limit Order Protection rule put into place on November 11, 2008. The new rule, meant to increase transparency and improve market efficiency and the quality of executions for investors, states that broker-dealers that handle customer limit orders in OTC equities, which includes any OTCBB or Pink Sheet quoted equities, whether received from their own customers or from another member firm, cannot trade ahead of customer limit orders. This means that a firm cannot trade for its own account at a price equal to or better than a customer limit order without also executing the customer order. This is considered to be one of the most significant regulatory safeguards for investors of the OTC market. Per the Webinar, investors are encouraged to use Limit Orders when trading any OTC equities so that they can monitor their trades in a stock using real-time quotation systems and receive better trade executions.
