Chapter One
What Are Penny Stocks?
Nowadays, there are different kinds of investment that you can consider. Trading in major stocks has become quite common. However, to invest, you need a substantial amount of investment to trade in major market exchanges. Penny stocks are an alternative for those who are interested to invest. Just as the name suggests, penny stocks are usually small sized stocks that have a lower price tag and market capitalization and always trade on the sidelines of major stocks. Penny stocks are also known as nano, micro or small cap stocks.
It is important to note that despite their name penny
, you won’t find one for such an incredibly low amount. Traditionally, they are considered have a value of less than $ 5 and sometimes feature on large trading platforms such as NYSE, NASDAQ and AMEX. One characteristic of penny stocks is that their lack of liquidity makes them a high risk investment. If you didn’t know, penny stocks traditionally trade over the counter. Companies involved with penny stocks are subjected to reduced listing requirements enjoying more lenient regulatory standards.
It’s important to point out that penny stocks don’t have a standard accepted definition as some refer to them as stocks that trade for pennies or under $5. In some quarters, stocks that trade off major markets are considered to be penny stocks. There has been confusion in some instances particularly with large corporate entities measured in terms of market capitalization having shares going below the value of $5 per share. On the other hand, we have small corporate organizations that trade $5 or more.
Many investors love penny stocks because they are an untamed and often attract less media publicity and glamour which is usually associated with the major stocks. Most of the times, the inside happening in penny stocks never manage to get to the media. However, this does not mean that they don’t attract any drama. We don’t get to hear much about penny stocks on major business platforms such as CNBC or The Wall Street Journal. If you didn’t know, pump and dump has affected several the operations of penny stocks. This basically refers to a scenario where penny stocks make payments to third party affiliates to with the aim of attracting not so well performing companies to sell shares to unsuspecting investors. This habit has paved way for several scams to take place since a lot of dealings are done in a corrupt manner. When investing in penny stocks, you should know that some of them involve underhand dealings, investing in solid and reputable companies is the best way to stay informed and be assured of trade transparency.
Penny stocks don’t involve a heavy investment such as other key stocks running on major exchanges. If you are interested in pennies, you should contact your regular stockbroker to facilitate purchase. When you find a good stockbroker, you are assured of enjoying affordable commissions and great execution to trading. One thing you should note is that cheap stocks listed on platforms such as NYSE and NASDAQ are not necessarily penny stocks. Actually, you can obtain some good benefits with low risks. Major exchanges have demanding listing requirements. Despite the fact that the advantages might not be as real as true penny stocks, they are known to be reliable. Penny stocks most commonly trade on services such Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB) which is a quotation as compared to Pink Sheets which is a quotation publisher. The listing requirements are retained by OTCBB increasing the levels of legitimacy.
Using Pink sheets, investors access quotation information for stocks which are registered with it. Unlike OTCBB, Pink Sheets are not SEC registered and therefore have no mandate of enforcing listing requirements. This makes them more vulnerable to scams from market traders and insiders with penny stocks included.
Penny stocks are still a favorite for many investors because of volatility and attainment of fast results. If you are willing to take the risk and invest in a scheme that is likely to give you quick returns, the volatile nature of penny stocks which causes violent fluctuations can bring luck your side. Some people have benefitted a lot from penny stocks with stocks that jump from as low as $0.08 to $8 in a fortnight. Penny stocks that issue a Press Release realize incredible results. When you research on the internet, you will find success stories on investing boards such as Investor Hub detailing how some investors are smiling all the way to the bank thanks to Penny stocks.
It is not often easy to find companies that will transform penny stocks to a major exchange. However, if you get lucky to find one, the paid outs are impressive. Millionaires and early retirements benefit from this arrangement which I must say is very rare and golden opportunity. Just like any other stock investment, numbers undergo fluctuations to gains of over 1000% in just a matter of days or weeks. Penny stocks have propelled some investors to become millionaires in very short periods of time. The real trick is getting the most appropriate stock. Despite the several risks and drawbacks associated with penny stocks, investors still consider them as an ideal method to try out in case the windfall is worth it.
Brave investors still find penny stocks a wise choice to try out because of the potential ability to generate impressive returns.

These days, many of us are looking for smart ways of investing with a potential to generate good financial results.

In case you are wondering if you should invest in stocks, you need to be open minded and consider all options available. Investing in stocks solely depends on how much money you have at your disposal. While some of us may have massive funds to part with, others may prefer to go for the smaller penny stocks instead.

While some have managed to reap huge returns from an otherwise small investment, other investors have totally flopped in their quest to make an impact with penny stocks. A major question many people are asking nowadays is if it is wise and safe to invest in penny stocks.
Any smart investor needs to carefully consider all the pros and cons of an investment before making any crucial decisions. To know whether penny stocks are a wise investment or not, you must understand what they are, how they operate and how you can successfully earn from them.

One key advantage of penny stocks is that they involve smaller investment amounts thereby substantially reducing the chances of risks occurring.
On most occasions, investors prefer to trade with penny stocks as a way to test the waters of the stock market investment. The love affair with penny stocks is due to the fact that you can purchase hundreds of shares for a few hundred or thousand dollars. For many investors, this makes them feel like big fish. For those who choose to buy many penny stocks, a small upward change in the price could increase the chances of a fortune. Despite the hurdles one has to go through, penny stocks provide someone the ability to generate huge returns in cases where low priced stocks make tremendous gains.
One common misconception many people have is that penny stocks are traded backdoor. This is not true as recent developments have seen a couple of blue chip firms gaining interest in penny stocks. When investing in penny stocks, you should know that penny stocks also have their disadvantages. These stocks don’t enjoy institutional support and therefore you should bear this in mind when purchasing them. What this means is that penny stocks don’t get to appear on the screens as mainstream stocks. For stock prices to increase, it is important for institutions to provide support in order to increase stock prices.
People wishing to invest in penny stocks usually find it challenging to get accurate company information. Remember, the company that is sponsoring the penny stocks needs to have adequate information. In other words, while on the internet, you need have the opportunity to quickly find meaningful company information. Misconceptions have rocked the penny stocks industry and knowing whether it’s wise to invest in them or not is based on the amount of information and facts you can gain access to.
One thing you should know is that penny stocks otherwise known as microcap stocks are listed on OTCBB exchange or Pink Sheets. One important fact to keep in mind is that OTCBB requirements are not as strict as NASDAQ or NYSE. Pink Sheets present more risks for investors since there is less oversight therefore opening avenues for fraud. The reduced levels of reporting expose these stocks to the risk of fraudulent occurrences.
Penny stocks have worked well for quite a number of people, if you are keen on reaping good benefits from stocks, you can consider higher quality stocks for investment. Penny stock investments have enabled many people to earn quite well from this venture. If you are keen on this venture, you should ensure that you know in advance how much you want to invest in penny stocks. If you just want to test out the market and still have some doubts, it’s better off to start small. It is of course important to consider this venture as a gamble just to avoid any future disappointments that might arise in case things do not go as planned. Penny stocks are a good investment idea so long as you have adequate supporting information and facts on how to invest.
