Penny Stocks
Penny Stocks
Penny stocks
are stocks for the high rollers, because they usually don't have much that is
substantial to offer investors other than their potential. Penny stock investors are usually
investors who are hoping to buy the stock before the rest of the world catches on to what a
great deal it's going to become. Penny stock prices are, for that very reason, extremely
volatile. Examples of penny stocks are difficult to name, as quite frankly few stick around long
enough to be of any notice. If you are absolutely determined to find some, look at the "Over
the Counter" listing in The Wall Street Journal. Any stocks priced under $10 per share are
considered penny stocks.
Please notice that no examples were provided in the description of penny stocks. This is
because penny stocks make themselves highly attractive to new investors through their lower
prices (generally under $10). As a result, newer investors often purchase these stocks
without considering the fact that (quite frankly) most people lose whatever money they have
invested.
