Every single OTC stock is a gamble. 99.99% of them are pure scam, share selling scheme. Not sure how much is " a lot of money for you". But no one with a lot of money should start trading/investing with OTC stock. It is the only 100% guaranteed way to lose it all in the shortest period time.
I started investing in 1996 with $100K startup capital. I bought 10 stocks each $10K worth like McDonald, Pepsi, DOW Chemical, Intel...etc. Besides Intel, I have all of them in my DRIP scheme in my account with Pepsi becoming 2 diff company. To be honest with you, I have not seen them in years except I know they are growing. Then I opened a brokerage account where I have more than 100 stocks at any given time. I play pennys for adrenaline rush. I may have made money in few pennies but most I lsoe them all 100%. The largest I ever lost in a penny stock was over $150K in a company called XChem many years ago. It was supposed to be a Biotech Co too.
I don't trade full-time, I have a full-time gig.
Good Luck
