Pink sheet companies are a risk to invest in. The major reason is that they do not have a minimum standard of requirements. There are common requirements that companies must meet to remain on the NASDAQ and risks associated with companies who are not listed. These companies are called pink sheet companies. Companies that are not pink sheet companies have met certain requirements set forth by the trading commission. NASDAQ has three requirements and a company must meet one of them to be listed. All of the companies must also follow the standard trading regulations set forth. The first requirement is that the company must have 1.1 million shares traded publicly on the listing. This would exclude shares held by executives, officers, and directors. The minimum bid price of the shares must begin at $5.00. When the price of the stock gets below this mark, the company is at risk of be delisted from NASDAQ. A company must have 400 shareholders, each shareholder owning 100 shares or more of the stock. If a company can meet one of these three requirements, they can be considered to trade on the NASDAQ. Pink sheet companies don’t have any requirements. Therefore, they are not regulated. They don’t have a price minimum and they don’t have a stock amount minimum. They might only have 10,000 shares available for purchase and just be looking for some additional funding. Pink sheet companies have no requirement to file documentation with the SEC either about their financial situation. No one really knows. You have to trust what you see and hope for the best. The benefit to having a minimum standard with stock is that you know there is some type of regulation and someone looking over them enforcing them. The pink sheet companies have no enforcement and no guarantee they are who they are. Investing in pink sheet companies means you are willing to take a big risk with your investments and just go for it. Many people have invested with them and become very rich while others have regretted it entirely. It is all about the risk and the amount of risk that you are willing to make.
