The OTC will never be able to claim the security or benefits of a large Stock Exchange. It does however provide the following for newer or smaller firms requiring public equity:
-Huge price discounts to file Quarterly and Annual SEC reports
-Offer startups and new ventures a low cost access to capital
-Provide a centralized quotation service for startups and newer ventures
-Offers Euro, Asian and other international stocks an inexpensive option to quote stocks in the U.S.. See Nestle, Tencent and Softbank who quote on the OTC.
-Provides exposure for firms which have no advertising revenue stream
-The OTCQX provides the same level of confidence and security in stocks to pre Sarbane's & Oxley days on the big boards.
-Shows Yield and Stop sign warnings for extremely speculative stocks who provide no filings.
The OTC is a very necessary vehicle for providing access to capital and exposure for startups, the engine of the U.S. economy, small inventive firms.
