Another stock market saying that began to fascinate me was "Buy
Cheap, Sell Dear." This sounded even better. But where could I buy
something cheap? As I searched for a bargain, I discovered the over-thecounter
market, the market of unlisted securities. I knew from my
books that in order to get its stock listed and traded on the stock
exchanges a company has to observe very stringent financial regulations.
I had read that this did not apply to over-the-counter stocks.
