Answer 1

Answer:

The statement is: True.

Explanation:

There are several differences between trading through a security exchange market and Over-The-Counter (OTC). One of them is that there is a regulator while trading in an exchange market which is merely the exchange such as NYSE or NASDAQ that sends the investors transactions through market makers that are offered by brokers -intermediaries between the market securities and investors. The OTC market does not have regulators. In fact, most securities trading OTC are mostly companies that do not meet major exchange requirements.
