Penny Stocks
Now, after all this, did we scare you away from purchasing some penny stocks? Before you jump ship, you should know that ever though penny stocks are generally classified as 'risky', there is also great potential to make huge profits. People do it every day! Our goal is simply to help you know the penny stock warning signs so you can make better informed decisions before purchasing any stock. This will help you make better investments that'll protect and grow your money.
To help you get started trading penny stocks, here is our list of the Top 3 recommended penny stock brokers:
Every investor desires to find the best penny stocks and investments, which only require funds for as low as $.10 for each share. Just think how well-off and profitable your trading venture will be if you got 10,000 up to 100,000 or more shares in your hand.
The shells, or penny stocks, that private companies use to go public do not have any ongoing operations. They are referred to as shells because their only reason for existing is to be used for a merger. Therefore, the price of stock that is nothing but a shell is very low. The price of a penny stock that is used for a reverse merger is often below .10. The stock starts appreciating in price once the public company announces that it has acquired a private company. Investors now will value the shell according to the operations of the business that it has merged with. If the private company has a strong product that is in demand investors will start buying shares of the company sending the price up. The shareholders who sold the shell now own 5% of a stock that has value and the buyers of the shell now can raise money using their appreciating stock. The investors who buy in early can benefit from the price appreciation that will result as investors realize that the penny stock is no longer a shell but is now an operating business. If the private company has earnings, the stock will appreciate much faster due to the intrinsic value of the stock and the scarcity of profitable penny stocks.
The reason we will not consider those stocks to be penny stocks is because more often than not a stock trading for under a dollar on one of the larger exchanges will soon be delisted due to dire troubles in its business. A stock trading under a dollar on a major exchange most likely once traded way above that price and now due to either mismanagement or external factors is in financial troubles and headed for bankruptcy. While there is an art to investing in those companies, it is said that it is more profitable to invest in companies that are still awaiting their future than companies which have already experienced what the future holds for them and are now in decline.
