Question 1

What is the difference between Pink Current and Pink Limited?

Accepted Answer

Pink Current Information means the company has filed recent disclosure documents with OTC Markets. Pink Limited Information means the company has filed some but not all required disclosures. Pink No Information (Expert Market) means no current disclosure — these are the riskiest and often restricted from retail trading.

Question 2

Are all pink sheet stocks penny stocks?

Accepted Answer

Most are, but not all. Some foreign companies with high share prices trade on pink sheets as ADRs. The defining characteristic of pink sheets is the disclosure tier, not the price. However, the vast majority of pink sheet stocks trade below $5.

Question 3

Can you make money on pink sheet stocks?

Accepted Answer

Some traders profit from pink sheet stocks, but the failure rate is high. The key is due diligence: check share structure, SEC filings, insider activity, and financial statements before taking a position. Avoid stocks with no disclosure, suspicious promotion, or toxic financing.
