Do you know what a "blue chip" stock is? How about what an "over the counter" stock is? You should. It's important to know the difference in beginners stock trading. Generally speaking, there's a quality difference between the two. While there are other differences, traders tend to focus on just one of these classes of stock.
Blue chip stocks are well-established stocks. They include most of the "name brands" that you see in everyday life. They trade on the major stock exchanges. AT&T, Coca-Cola, and Intel are a few examples of blue chip stocks. They are traded for "slow and steady" movements, with little risk. These are ideal for beginners stock trading. If you want to find more examples, find a list of the Dow Jones Industrial Average stocks, or other major indexes (which includes the NASDAQ and S&P500). The 30 stocks on the Dow Jones list are considered quality, well-established stocks (essentially, blue chips). However, this doesn't necessarily mean they're the cream of the crop. A recent example of this is that GM declared bankruptcy, and is now no longer on the Dow Jones list. So, word to the wise: research any and all stocks, you're interested in. In beginners stock trading, do not blindly invest simply because a stock is a blue chip.
An over the counter stock is basically any stock that does not trade on a major exchange (DOW, NASDAQ, etc.). These stocks can trade on the "bulletin board" market or on the "pinksheet" market. While those are distinct markets, the stocks that trade on them can be very similar. The majority of over the counter stocks are new companies. These companies are in the process of growing and establishing their business, in the hopes of moving up to trading on one of the major exchanges. These stocks are considered risky, as very few (if any) are well established. Their draw is the fact that prices are quite low, with many even trading below a penny. On top of that, the price can move very quickly, allowing you to potentially grow your money more quickly than with blue chip stocks. Interested traders should do deep research on these companies, as the trading risk in is very high, and is not recommended for beginners stock trading.
These two market types sit at opposite ends of the spectrum. Major markets tend to have well-established, low-risk, medium-return stocks. Meanwhile, the minor markets tend to house more start-up companies that are high-risk, high return. It's a "Slow and Steady" vs. "Make or Break" environment. Research is definitely a must, with either market type, as companies succeed and fail on either end of the market spectrum. In beginners stock trading, knowing your risk tolerance is key!
