pink-sheeter
n.— «China Health Management is a healthcare service provider in the People’s Republic of China. Unfortunately for them, it has been labelled as a “pink-sheeter” for its lack of financial information.

None of them said anything about the company’s money.» —“Stock of China Health Management Corp. (CHNC.PK) Needs a Treatment” by Martinas B. hotStocked.com May 14, 20008.
