Is listed under the "pink sheets" or the FINRA OTC Bulletin Board
Is issued by a company that has less than $5 million in net tangible assets and has been in business less than 3 years, by a company that has under $2 million in net tangible assets and has been in business for at least 3 years, or by a company that has revenue of $6 million for 3 years.
Please note: OTCBB stocks are non-marginable and need to be paid for in full. OTCBB stocks may not be traded in IRA accounts.
