Over-The-Counter (OTC) Trading and Broker-Dealers Explained in One Minute: OTC Link, OTCBB, etc.

The waters of Over-The-Counter or OTC trading seem quite murky for the most part. Maybe because not that many people genuinely understand what OTC trading is all about, perhaps it's because Over-The-Counter trading has a bit of a shady reputation... or, well, both.

This video explains what OTC trading is as well as what broker-dealers do in just one minute. You'll find out how OTC Link and OTCBB work, with the entire process being quite logical if you take things one step at a time.

In the spirit of doing just that, I've started by explaining Over-The-Counter trading as a concept, with us then moving on and looking at the main actors, specifically the (in)famous broker-dealers.

You will find out what the pros associated with OTC trading are, what cons you need to be aware of and whether or not this is an option that might make sense for you at one point or another.

Do keep in mind that even Walmart started out in the Over-The-Counter space, so it would perhaps be wise to acknowledge that we're simply dealing with a tool which is neither inherently good nor inherently bad, it's all a matter of how you use it :)

Interesting, thanks! Wallmart started there, so are there any other examples of spectacular successes of companies going from a penny stock to a great well-known company?

[GalacticBlader]

This is like the adult version of DONT TRUST STRANGERS

Great video man. Can I ask you a question? I’m trying to buy Nanosonics (NNCSF: OTC) through TD-Ameritrade And my account is rejecting it because of my buying power, any suggestions or thoughts?

[stockmarketmani]

Sir, which app or software do you use to your videos.?

[ayselerdem]

Can the bank be one of the parties in OTC? Like forwards for example.

[crystalcafe]

So the only way I can trade in Los Angeles is to get up at 3am? I can't just do the OTC market? This is too volatile for me. What about cryptocurrency? Do I have to rise with the East Coast time zone in order to take advantage of the market for crypto?

[desertstormer]

OTC markets are really tough to trade, with low liquidity and high volatility, and the fact that theres no disclosure requirement means you'll lose money thanks to rampant manipulation against you trades

Can anyone explain why AltaGas ATGFF is OTC in the United States?

[kotwavedigital]

Please do you know of any cryptocurrency otc markets?

[joshmeyer]

what i dont understand is if theres a way to buy crypto OTC without disturbing the price, is there a way to sell like OTC without disturbing the price? Its almost like the whales can manipulate the price at there own will

What happens when you buy over the counter stocks and the company then joins NASDAQ via IPO? Can somebody tell what the difference is between these two tickers since they seem to be the same company? HPQFF and UARGF

[She_Tried_It]

If an OTC is about to go onto NASDAQ (AUGX Oct 2021), should I buy before it goes, hoping for a rise? Or wait and let it drop? IN SHORT: Does an OTC typically rise first when it hits NASDAQ?

Thank you very much for your help in achieving financial independence through trading.

I just got ripped off by broker paying 2x excessive commision for australian OTCs..totally contradictory with the price per share, and it was closed without my consent. I say this to you - stay away from OTCs! only stick with regulated, classic stocks listed on an exchange.

[manpreetkaur-uibv]

I am sorry but I don't understand the concept

[TR_binarytradermada]

All I heard is con con con con con - No thank you, too many negatives. I rather continue trading Forex and wait until Sunday. Just thought I could find something to trade on Friday and Sat. - Using $5k, 2 days worth, I made $1600 - so I think I am happy with that. Lots of small profits $20, repeat that 20x do the math - few big ones as in $500, $300 and less - I will not change my lot change, max to 0.5 to 5 lots. I wonder if you can make as much money with OTC

[fredroco]

don't trade on OTC it's scam and steals money
