Can Canadians buy over the counter (OTC) stocks?
Rounding it up
Over the counter (OTC) stocks are those not listed on major exchanges like the NYSE or NASDAQ.
OTC stocks are generally less regulated and far riskier than more mainstream stocks.
Canadians can buy OTC stocks on the American market with the help of certain brokers.
Always exercise extreme caution when investing money, especially with OTCs.
