The Following are very simple steps to get the novice investors started:


1. Open a brokerage account. Most people use online brokers such as Ameritrade, Zecco and E*TRADE….ect. They provide fair commission prices and simple screens for trading.  A brokerage account is a like bank account that you fund and allows you to buy and sell stocks.
2. Determine your objective. Do you want to day trade or invest. Day trading or short term trading will require more time and more focus on the stocks you want to trade. A longer term strategy will not determine as much time but should involve more research in the companies you plan to invest in.
3. Once you have your objective determined, buy the stocks you like. Stop losses or an exit plan should always be in place when buying any stock. An exit plan minimizes losses and helps profit profits to the upside.
4. A good place to research companies is Yahoo Finance, Big Charts, Pink Sheets….etc.

The Eligibility Rule protects investors by ensuring that they have access to companies current financial information when considering investments in OTCBB-eligible securities.
Nasdaq will continue to monitor the filing status of all OTCBB issuers. In the event of a filing delinquency, Nasdaq will append the trading symbol(s) of the delinquent issuer’s security with an “E”.

After 30 days (60 days for non-SEC filers), if Nasdaq has not been notified that the appropriate filing has been made with the issuer’s regulatory authority, the issuer’s security will be removed from the OTCBB.
