Most Internet e-mail users have been subject to penny stock scams. There are more than fifty billion spam messages sent each day, and many of these mention investing in penny stocks. Spam isn’t a very reliable investment source, right? Does that mean that all penny stocks are, essentially, some sort of scam?

Penny stock scam is a sad fact of using the Internet. It’s possible for people to lose 8% of their investment when falling for these penny stock scams online. Often, these penny stocks do not exist or they do not exist at the advertised price. This type of scam is called a “pump and dump.” Yes, there are some scams on the Internet that center around penny stocks.


This does not mean that all penny stocks are a scam, or even a bad investment. There are some penny stocks that can make investors a good amount of profit, in fact…just not the ones you find advertised in spam. Stopping yourself from investing in those penny stocks is a great idea, but deciding never to invest in penny stocks of any kinds because of that may not be.

Yes, there are considered a high-risk investment, but it’s also possible to turn a pretty profit by using penny stocks. In most cases, there is a certain finesse needed to invest in these stocks, as they rarely trade and sometimes things happen with penny stocks very quickly. Investors have to know what’s happening all the time and be ready to make a move when needed – making penny stocks somewhat exciting and interesting to trade in. This is why some investors like them.

Don’t let Internet scams scare you away. There are a lot of Internet job scams, too, where so-called “employers” offer to pay you lots of money to do something simple like answer surveys or surf the “Net. In many cases, these “job offers” turn out to be nothing but an Internet scam, and a clever ploy to try and get your hard-earned money. But you don’t let Internet job scams keep you from working – so don’t let Internet penny stock scams keep you from investing. That still means that the scam artists win, because they’re keeping you away from something.


To learn which penny stocks are potentially good investments and which are potentially bad, there’s lots you can do. Check the business journals and stock information, or ask a broker for more information and advice regarding penny stocks. There are good penny stocks out there, and there are investments out there where you can make a lot of money. By doing your research and looking into every possibility, you increase your chances of success in the stock market. And isn’t success what it’s all about?

If you’re interested in investing in penny stocks, you can’t let anything (even scams) stop you. Do what you want to do and invest your money where you think it’s best. After all, it’s your money and only you can decide what you want to do with it. Make the choice for you, not for any other reason.

Investing in penny stocks

February 23rd 2009 10:34
The first question is 'To invest or not invest' in penny stocks. This is largely a personal decision that reflects your risk profile. If have the capacity as well as the nature to take greater risks, you could be looking at penny stocks. If your financial position is not very strong, and you have little spare money to invest, it is better that you keep off penny stocks altogether and look at established stocks only. Similarly, even if you have a lot of money to spare but are generally averse to taking risks, it is better that you don’t invest in penny stocks. If you are the kind of person, who likes to take risks in order to increase your returns, and can afford to lose some money if it comes to that, then you could look at penny stocks.

Once you decide to invest in penny stocks, you should take care to ensure that your investment has a reasonable chance of giving you good returns. For this purpose, you should look at a number of things such as the reputation of the company and its promoters, past history if any is available, and also assess the fundamentals. Finance Managers and accountants use the term fundamentals to refer to the intrinsic value of a company. The prices quoted in the share market are the result of many factors such as market sentiment. The fundamentals of the company on the other hand will show you what the company is actually worth. This consists in understanding the real value in terms of the assets and the revenues of the company. If you invest in a company with good fundamentals, the chances of your losing will be greatly minimized. Use the methods of valuation of shares discussed in the earlier article for t his purpose.

Another golden rule that is applicable to all shares, but particularly true in the case of penny stocks is the old adage, 'Don’t put all your eggs in one basket'. This is true even if you have inside information. Inside information refers to private information that you possess about a company that is likely to affect its share value in the short run to a major extent. For example, if you knew that company A is likely to be taken over by a major conglomerate offering a high price to the existing stockholders, and if this is not yet known to the general public, you have inside information. You have information that makes you pretty sure that the share price will rise in the market substantially once this fact becomes known. So it is usually safe to act on inside information, assuming of course that it is reliable and true. However, even in such cases you should avoid over exposing yourself, particularly in the case of penny stocks. Plans simply fail to materialize, for example, in which case you may be left holding a stock that has little value. Remember that there’s “many a slip between the cup and the lip”.

The next important thing to keep in mind while considering penny stocks is that you may not be able to sell them quickly, particularly if you have a large quantity. So if short-term liquidity is a concern for you, you should avoid investing in penny stocks. It is much easier to sell stocks that are traded on a regular stock exchange and ones that are well known and frequently traded.

To conclude, remember that penny stocks carry greater risks and less liquidity. Avoid over exposure. Invest after investigating. If you follow these rules, are careful, and lucky, you may make a good profit from penny stocks.

Learning the Basics of Penny Stocks

February 23rd 2009 10:30
Penny stocks are stocks that are either low in value or low in the total market capitalization. The definition of penny stocks can vary a bit from one person to another. Generally, penny stocks can be understood to mean any stock that is not a major stock. The two criteria that we have set above will determine whether a stock is a penny or not based on its price and market capitalization.

In addition, one can also consider a stock as a penny stock if it does not conform to stock exchange regulations and are thus more risky. In practice, however, it would be extremely difficult to find a large market stock that is not meeting the major stock exchange regulations. Because of this reason, penny stocks are generally understood to be those stocks whose absolute price or market capitalization is very low
