Cheap stocks are stocks with a low market value. Stocks priced under $5 are often referred to as penny stocks.

Investors buy cheap stocks for several reasons:

1. Potential for High Returns: If the company grows, the stock price can increase significantly, offering high returns.
2. Affordability: They allow investors to buy more shares with a smaller amount of money.
3. Speculative Trading: Some traders are attracted to the high volatility and potential for quick gains.

Yes, there are several regulatory considerations:

1. SEC Rules: The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulates the trading of penny stocks.
2. Brokerage Requirements: Some brokers may have specific requirements or higher fees for trading cheap stocks.
3. Disclosure Requirements: Companies trading at low prices must comply with specific disclosure requirements.

Yes, some cheap stocks are listed on major exchanges like the NYSE or NASDAQ. However, many trade over-the-counter (OTC) or on smaller exchanges due to their lower market capitalization and less stringent listing requirements.
