pink sheets
Penny stock marketplace
Pink sheets are daily publications listing over-the-counter stocks not traded on major exchanges, named for the pink paper they were traditionally printed on.
These securities typically belong to smaller, less-established companies with minimal reporting requirements: Most penny stocks trade on the pink sheets.
The term suggests higher risk and lower transparency than exchange-listed stocks.
