Trading in OTC equity securities carries a high degree of risk and may not be appropriate for all investors. OTC equity securities may be "thinly traded" or more illiquid than exchange-traded securities, which tends to increase price volatility and impair your ability to buy or sell within a reasonable period of time without adversely impacting execution price(s).
Over-the-counter (OTC) refers to trading securities outside official stock exchanges like Nasdaq or NYSE. A wide range of securities can be traded over-the-counter, including common stocks, American Depository Receipts (ADRs), and even derivatives.
Many companies choose to trade their shares over-the-counter because they cannot meet the listing requirements of official security exchanges or they are not willing to (or cannot) afford the listing fees of exchanges. The OTC market offers a place for large groups of unlisted companies to trade.
