How to Buy Over the Counter Stocks

It is a common misconception that only small companies are listed in over the counter stocks (OTC). In fact, buying over the counter stocks may trouble you as the process of buying stock from the over the counter is totally different from that of the NYSE and NASDAQ. The OTC securities are not listed, as there is no central exchange available for this. Market makers just make an inventory of security to ease the trading.

In general, the term Over the Counter is used to refer to the stock which trades through a dealer network as not accepted by centralized exchange. NYSE, TSX and AMEX are the other formal exchange, which trade in a security. Actually these are small companies and known as unlisted stock. And an investor can do this security trading via a dealer buyer chain. Usually negotiation will be done with each other on the internet or on telephone.

Other points to consider are:

1) Initially you have to open an account with a brokerage firm to trade in the OTC securities. This is the first step to buying over the counter stocks.


2) You can open either a full service broker or a discount broker account.


3) There is a lesser number of brokers allowing trading in OTC securities. When an investor makes an order with his broker, he should contact the respective market.


4) The market maker would then inform the broker about the price of the security (bid) at which he wants to sell. These bids are constantly monitored to an investor through the Over the Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB).


5) During the next step, the broker has to accept the price as his order.

6) The broker then, moves the required funds via the market maker’s account and his ordered securities are credited in his account.

7) The investor can stop or limit the order for OTC securities to realize price limit. The same procedure is executed when the investor wants to sell the OTC security.


Even if the investing in OTC security appears to be simple, there are number of risks associated with this investment. Generally, OTC stocks belong to extremely small and new companies. These companies have markets caps around $50 million or less. The information provided by these companies is very minor and difficult to find. These companies do not have a long history about their performance. And these OTC stocks are much volatile; hence, it is difficult to find investors.


There are around 4,700 companies on the OTC market which are well qualified for listing on the New York Stock Exchange. These companies are connected with NASDAQ as they do not have trading specialist. These trading specialists plays important role for the investor who do not know how to buy over the counter stock. Without these specialists, trading can not be executed i.e. neither buying nor selling is possible.


The computer is located at the central trading floor at NASDAQ. There are number of terminals at around 750 locations. Live trading updates are available at these terminals. And these terminals are connected with central at Trumbull, Connecticut; this is main center of the NASDAQ.
