• NATIONAL QUOTATION BUREAU
  
  Every trading day, this subscription service publishes bid and ask prices for over-the-counter (OTC) stocks and bonds that don't meet the listing requirements of the Nasdaq National Market (Nasdaq) or the Nasdaq Small-Cap Market. The Bureau gathers its information from market makers in these securities and prints the stock data on distinctively colored paper: pink sheets for stocks and yellow sheets for bonds. The same information, updated continuously throughout the trading day, is available electronically on the NQB website.
