NASDAQ and OTC Markets

NASDAQ is the world’s first electronic market and has no physical trading floor

Provides continuous trading for the most active stocks traded over the counter (OTC)

Primarily a dealer market in which often more than 20 dealers act as market makers

A small order execution system (SOES) provides automatic order execution for orders of less than or equal to 1,000 shares

The NASD maintains an electronic “OTC bulletin board” and “pink sheets” for small firms that are not part of the NASDAQ
