Yes, you can trade OTC Bulletin Board stocks (also referred to as Pink Sheet or penny stocks) in your brokerage account. Typically these stocks — securities not specifically authorized to trade on the automated system offered by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) — are either lower-priced securities or ADRs (American Depository Receipts) and are thinly traded. As a result, buy orders for bulletin board stocks must be placed as limit orders.

Note: Lana Global MA can't guarantee the accuracy of any quotation information on our site for these securities. You can usually place bulletin board trades on your own using our online system. However, sometimes the information you need may not be available for some thinly traded stocks. You may find it easier to get a current quote or place an order through one of our brokers over the phone by calling +1907 764 2184. You may not sell short, buy or sell mutual funds, or trade stocks with a market value of less than $10 per share until seven business days after your account application is approved. All customers will be charged an additional $25 for Broker-Assisted trades.

An option is a contract to buy or sell a specific financial product officially known as the options' underlying instrument or underlying interest. To get started trading options, you need to first upgrade to an options-enabled account. Or if you haven't yet opened an Lana Global MA brokerage account, get started now.

Important Note: Options transactions are intended for sophisticated investors and are complex, carry a high degree of risk, and are not suitable for all investors. An options investor may lose the entire amount of their investment in a relatively short period of time.

Yes. Once you are approved for margin trading you can borrow against the assets in your brokerage account. When you borrow on margin, you pay interest on the loan until it is repaid. Lana Global MA offers some of the most competitive margin interest rates in the industry. The minimum balance required for a margin account is $2,000.

Margin calls may be triggered by market fluctuations, maintenance requirement changes, option exercises and assignments, interest charges, or other events. You may hold other offsetting positions, which may alleviate a margin call. Margin call due dates vary by situation, but may need to be resolved immediately, by depositing funds, depositing securities, or liquidating a position. Please note, the firm can sell your securities without contacting you.
