achu "liquidity CAN be very high in both markets."
I guess b/c of the word CAN, C is true. Seems like in practice there are more low liquidity items found in OTC than NYSE. But the question says ANY exchange, not the nyse.
sergashev mmm, because of word CAN, C is not correct. Generally, the stock which is liquid on NYSE will be also liquid on OTC.
johntan1979 Does anyone else see "CAN" in the answer choice C?
farhan92 still trying to find it..
