| Those who wanted to join the stock market but do not have enough capital can do it via the purchase of penny stocks. It is actually a common stock that can be bought with five dollars or less per share and is done through over-the-counter trading. Despite being Hot Stocks, they are not commonly traded. This is mainly due to the fact that the information about the companies involved in selling this type of stocks is very hard to get and verify. This makes it a very risky investment. Even if you are dealing with smaller amounts of money in penny stocks, you still should not risk it; after all, it is still money.Penny stocks and stock picks are sometimes synonymously used. They are not traded in the major exchanges such as the New York Stock Exchange or AMEX for obvious reasons. Stock Picks are actually low priced securities usually of very small companies. Another risky investment if you will think it over. Although these types of stocks or securities are quite impressive especially to beginners, the experts will tell you that those are not the way to earn you great profits from the stock market. In fact, many stock market exchanges do not even trade them.Not only will it give you very little or no profit at all, you may also lose lots of cash from it when the company closes down. Unless you are so sure of the company and trusts its capability completely, investing on penny stocks may not be a good idea. Despite it however, and despite the warnings declared by many penny stocks newsletters, traders are still being lured by the attraction created by these very affordable stocks offered by low budget companies. If you are willing to take the risk or just simply have the money to lose, you can always invest on penny stocks. After all, you may hit the jackpot and the company you invested in turned out to become a great one. |
