Can I buy OTC stocks online?
Purchases of OTC securities are made through market makers who carry an inventory of stocks and bonds that they make available directly to buyers. Some online brokers allow OTC trades. Full-service brokers offline also can place orders for a client.
How can I buy an OTC?
The best way to buy an over-the-counter (OTC) stock is to create an account with a broker. Many, but not all, brokerage firms that allow you to trade on the stock market also let you trade OTCs. OTCs cannot be purchased directly from the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB) or the OTC Markets Group.
