SEC Suspension
The SEC can suspend a stock from trading for up to ten trading days when it serves the public interest and will protect investors. The SEC will act when it believes public information about a company is not current, accurate, or adequate. For stocks that trade in the OTC or the over-the-counter market, quotation does not automatically resume when a suspension ends. (The OTC market includes the OTC Bulletin Board® and the Pink Sheets.) After a suspension, SEC regulations require a broker-dealer to review information about a company before publishing a proprietary quote. If a broker-dealer does not have confidence that a company's financial statements are current and accurate, especially in light of the questions raised by the SEC, then a broker-dealer may not publish a proprietary quote for the company's stock. However broker - dealers may publish quotes representing an unsolicited customer order.


Other OTC
Or otherwise known as the "Grey Market" is the trading of a security that is not listed, traded or quoted on any stock exchange, the OTCBB or the Pink Sheets. Other OTC trades are reported by broker-dealers to their Self Regulatory Organization (SRO) and the SRO distributes the trade data to market data vendors and financial websites so investors can track price and volume. Since Other OTC securities are not traded or quoted on an exchange or interdealer quotation system, investor's bids and offers are not collected in a central spot so market transparency is diminished and Best Execution of orders is difficult.
