 What are third tier stocks: paper characteristic?

Officially, stock exchanges do not divide shares, but traders have used the concept of third tier stocks for a long time. By this they mean low-liquid assets with trading volumes of 10-100 thousand rubles. For example, first-class securities, which are also called blue chips, are traded in millions of dollars daily. In the third category are also companies that have recently registered on the stock market or have small capitalization. They are not yet known to investors or investing in them may involve risks. Such shares are often called kopecks, cents or Penny stocks.
Stocks of the third tier are considered to be securities with the price less than 5 dollars. Despite their low value, these assets are quite popular in the stock market.
