Penny stocks are an interesting investment alternative. I say interesting because most investors either hate them or love them. It is one of those investments that generally either returns big or unfortunately does not deliver a return at all. So where do you stand? Since you are still reading this I guess you want to know more about this unique investment opportunity. Penny stocks are shares that trade in the range from a fraction of a penny up to $5 per share. Strangely, some investors think that because the price per share is pennies, they don't have much to lose and will take the risk. Even though share price may be pennies, I hope that any loss of your hard earned dollars is something you strive to avoid. There are penny stocks that make it big and the best penny stocks offer returns that are hard to match. But the winners are hard to find and the losers plentiful. The share price of a penny stock is extremely volatile. With penny stocks, the laws of supply and demand reign supreme. Because most penny stocks are issued by small companies with relatively few shares trading and trading infrequently, a single buy or sell order of a penny stock could move its price. These price moves may result independently of general economic or company specific news. With penny stocks (and all stock trading for that matter), it pays to do your homework and research. The advent of the Internet has increased the volume of dollars that are being invested in penny stocks primarily because it is so much easier (and cheaper) to find information about companies and their management teams. Stock quotes for most companies can be found online. You are probably wondering how to invest in penny stocks? Most penny stock investors rely on two methods to learn about penny stocks--word of mouth and penny stock newsletters. My preference is to read penny stock newsletters. Peter Leeds is one of the foremost penny stock experts, and he offers his picks of the best penny stocks on his Hot List. Through his newsletter, PeterLeeds.com , he helps thousands of investors navigate the often murky and dangerous waters of penny stocks.
