Pink Sheets

No, pink sheets are not something that you put on your bed to hopefully improve your love life.

In a financial market circles, pink sheets are the lists of quotations for smaller company stocks that are traded off the stock exchanges.  There was also a “Yellow Sheet” which was a list of quotations for corporate bonds.

Originally, the “National Quotation Bureau – NQB” began publishing lists of over-the-counter stocks in 1913.  The lists get their name from the fact that they were published on pink paper hence the name “Pink Sheets” or “Pink Sheet.”  After several name changes through the years, “NQB” is now known as OTC Markets Group, Inc.

At present, OTC Markets Group, Inc. is up-to-date with technology and provide services including electronic quotations, trading, messaging, and information platforms.  The SEC considers that the OTC Markets Group, Inc. is not a stock exchange and is simply a private company that facilitates the trading of securities between independent brokerage companies.

Currently the actual pink sheets which were printed on pink paper are a thing of the past and all lists have been computerized.  Stocks which trade on the “pink sheets” typically have the suffix “.pk” added to their symbol.  Many penny stocks are listed on the pink sheet lists.

Pink Sheet companies do not need to fulfill any regulatory compliance in order to be listed.  They are considered by the SEC to be among the riskiest of investments.

And, we advise, as with all low-priced, penny stocks that you do your research and make sure they are fiscally sound, legitimate companies before attempting to trade their shares.
