6 terms

otcqx financial

"has qualified to trade on the OTCQX® Best Market."

OTCQX is the highest tier of the over‑the‑counter (OTC) marketplaces where shares of companies that aren’t listed on major stock exchanges trade. Think of it as a “premium shelf” for OTC stocks: companies must meet stricter financial and disclosure standards, which can mean clearer information, potentially better investor confidence and somewhat easier trading than lower OTC tiers. Investors watch OTCQX listings as a signal of relative transparency and credibility among OTC-traded firms.

pink limited financial

"upgraded to OTCQX from the Pink Limited™ Market."

Pink Limited is a classification for stocks traded on the over‑the‑counter market that have very limited public information and do not meet higher disclosure standards. It signals the company provides little or no regular financial reporting, making it hard to verify its business or performance. For investors this matters because limited transparency increases the chance of sudden price swings, illiquidity, and fraud risk — like buying a used car with no service history.

level 2 quotes technical

"financial disclosure and Real-Time Level 2 quotes for the company"

Level 2 quotes show the full list of buy and sell orders at multiple prices throughout the market, not just the single best bid and ask. For investors, this reveals how much supply and demand exists at different price points—useful for judging liquidity, spotting potential price moves, and placing or timing larger trades; think of it as seeing the entire checkout line instead of only the person next to the cashier.

corporate governance regulatory

"meet high financial standards, follow best practice corporate governance"

Corporate governance is the system of rules, roles and oversight that determines how a company is directed and controlled, including the responsibilities of its board, executives and shareholders. Like the steering wheel and map for a car trip, it shapes decisions, sets checks on power and defines who can hold leaders accountable; strong governance reduces risk, builds trust and helps investors judge whether a company is likely to protect capital and deliver reliable returns.

securities laws regulatory

"demonstrate compliance with applicable securities laws."

Securities laws are the rules and enforcement systems that govern the buying, selling and disclosure of stocks, bonds and other investment products; think of them as the traffic laws for financial markets that set what must be disclosed, forbid fraud and require fair dealing. They matter to investors because they help ensure companies provide accurate information, reduce the risk of deception or insider advantage, and make it easier to compare investments and seek remedies if something goes wrong.

feasibility study technical

"advance Romero to a feasibility study and focus on creating long-term"

A feasibility study is an assessment that evaluates whether a proposed project or idea is practical and likely to succeed before investing significant time and resources. It considers factors like costs, potential benefits, and challenges, helping stakeholders decide if moving forward makes sense. Think of it as a detailed plan that gauges if a new venture is worth pursuing.
