Is Penny Stock Investing For You?

By Harold Bennett

The first question you need to ask yourself is 'to invest or not to invest' in penny stocks, but this is for the most part a personal decision that mirrors if you like taking risks, however if you've the ability as well as the attitude to take greater risks, you should be pondering on penny stock investing. So if your monetary position is not very strong, and you have little spare money to save, it is better that you keep off these types of shares altogether and look at established stocks only. Similarly, even if you have a lot of surplus cash but are usually reluctant to take risks, it is advisable that you do not save in penny stocks. Then if you are the sort of soul, who enjoys taking chances in order to increase your returns, and don't mind losing some if it comes to it, then you might take a look at penny stocks.

Once you decide to commit in penny stocks, you ought to take care to ensure your investment has a reasonable chance of presenting you good returns. For this purpose, you ought to consider a number of things, for instance the repute of the business and its backers, past history if any is available, and also evaluate the fundamentals. Fund Managers and accountants often employ the phrase 'fundamentals' which pertains to the basic monetary value of a company. The prices cited in the share market are the consequence of numerous factors such as market sentiment. The fundamental principles of the company on the other hand will show you what the company is genuinely valued at but this comprises of understanding the proper monetary value in terms of the assets and the income of the business. Provided you save in a company with good basic principles, the chances of your forfeiting will be hugely reduced so use the techniques of evaluating shares for this function.

An additional rule that is pertinent to all shares, but specially typical in the case of penny stocks is the old saying, 'Don't put all your eggs in one basket', but this is accurate even when you have inside information. Privileged information relates to private information that you possess about a company that is liable to affect its share worth in the short term to a big degree. For instance, if you knew that business A is in all probability to be bought out by a major combine volunteering a high monetary value to the existing stockholders, and if this is not yet known to the general public, you have exclusive information. You have seen information that makes you moderately certain that the stock price will increase in the market substantially once this fact becomes acknowledged. On this occasion it is ordinarily secure to pursue insider information, assuming naturally, that it is reliable and true. Nevertheless, even in such cases you should prevent over exposing yourself, particularly in the situation of penny stocks. On occasion, matters just fail to happen, for instance, in that situation you may be left holding a stock that has very little worth.

Following this the next important thing to keep in mind while considering penny stocks is that you might not be in a position to trade them quickly, especially if you have a large amount. Hence,, if short-term liquidity is a concern for you, you should stay away from investing in penny stocks as it is often easier to sell stocks that are dealt on a standard stock exchange and ones that are known and regularly traded.

To close, don't forget that penny stocks carry greater risks and less liquidity, so prevent over exposure and invest only after investigating. If you observe these conventions, you are careful, and fortunate, you could make a healthy net income from penny stock investing. - 23223
