Unfortunately, the reality of the situation is that if you're investing longer term in OTC stocks, you're playing a game in which the odds are massively stacked against you.
Here are a few of the major highlights you'll find within:
The mean return for native OTC stocks over one year is -33.82% The median return for native OTC stocks over one year is -53.9% 75% of native OTC stocks declined by 13.97% or more in one year
(A native OTC stock is one that has never traded on a major exchange.)
If you read the entire study and you'll see no matter how you break it down, the vast majority of OTC stocks fail in the long run.
