Metavesco Inc. (OTC: MVCO) on Monday announced Squawktober, a free four-week stock challenge hosted on OTC Squawk, a social discussion and discovery platform built exclusively for OTC traders. The game invites participants to pick one OTC stock each week, with the top five traders after four weeks splitting a prize pool that starts at $6,000 and grows with every new entrant.
The stakes are straightforward: first place takes a third of the pool, while second through fifth each receive a sixth. At the $6,000 cap, that means $2,000 for the winner and $1,000 for each of the next four. The pool increases with each new participant until registration closes at 11:59 p.m. ET on October 25, giving players a direct incentive to bring others into the game. Picks for week two can be placed until lock on Sunday, October 11 at 11:59 p.m. ET. Full rules are available at https://otcsquawk.com/squawktober/rules.
Squawktober is more than a contest; it is a showcase for OTC Squawk’s expanding toolkit for OTC traders. Since opening to the public in August, the platform has rolled out features designed to streamline research that has traditionally been scattered across SEC filings, FINRA notices, OTC Markets data, and message boards. Five heat maps now track what is moving across the OTC market by dollar volume, filtering out low-liquidity spikes that lack real money behind them. A live tape aggregates SEC filings, press releases, and FINRA corporate actions, with push notifications for breaking alerts.
For traders concerned about dilution, the platform lays out shares outstanding against authorized shares and provides a timeline of every convertible note, warrant, and preferred share from two years of SEC filings, each linked to its source document. AI-generated plain-English summaries are available with one tap on any filing, while the original remains one tap away. Squawk Talk adds live audio rooms, akin to an OTC trading floor where approved hosts run sessions, listeners can raise a hand to speak, and a chat links every ticker and handle mentioned. Replays remain on the host’s profile for 90 days. Preflight sends an 8:45 a.m. rundown of followed tickers every market morning.
The initiative matters because it signals a push to centralize OTC market intelligence and build community at a time when retail traders often piece together information from disparate sources. By tying a free game to a feature-rich platform, Metavesco aims to attract new users to OTC Squawk while reinforcing its commitment to transparency in the OTC market. Metavesco, a publicly traded holding company focused on building infrastructure for the OTC market, operates Epic Labor and other subsidiaries. More information is available at metavesco.com. The original release can be viewed on www.newmediawire.com.
No purchase, trade, or ownership of any stock is necessary to enter or win. The challenge is open to individuals 18 or older, with one account per person. Squawktober is a game; picks are not recommendations, and nothing on OTC Squawk constitutes investment advice. AI-written summaries can contain errors and link to their source documents.
