What are pennies stocks?

Pennies stocks are traded outside mainstream market exchanges at low prices because they have very low market capitalization. Penny stocks are highly speculative and risky because they lack liquidity, have limited disclosure and following and have wide bid-ask spreads. Penny stocks trade via pink sheets or the OTC Bulletin Board (OTCBB).

What is the value of a penny stock?

The term ‘penny stock’ evolved from the market. Historically, penny stocks traded for a dollar or less per share. Today, the SEC has modified this definition to include all shares that trade below $5.

What is the difference between a penny stock and a regular stock?

Penny stocks do not trade on major market exchanges like the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) or NASDAQ. That said, there are a few large companies listed at $5 per share who trade on main exchanges. Curtis Inc. (CRIS) is an example of a penny stock listed on NASDAQ. It is a biotechnology company.

 The typical penny stock company is small with speculative, highly illiquid shares. The company is subject to fewer regulatory and filing standards and limited listing obligations.

Who can invest in penny stocks?

Penny stocks are open to everyone. They are more appropriate for investors who tolerate risk very well. Penny stocks are highly volatile and have high levels of risk, but they result in large rewards. There is a heightened amount of risk related to penny stocks. All investors can protect themselves to a degree by implementing a stop-loss order before entering a trade. This will help you exit the market if your stock starts to dip.

How much can you make with penny stocks?

Penny stocks are capable of generating large returns. For example, many investors can turn $100 into $5,000 in a week; but these gains do not occur all the time and usually take months if not years to occur. Unlike with regular stocks, if you stay too long with a particular penny stock, you are likely to lose your investment. Therefore, trade safely!
