    The upside of the penny stock is high return and the downside of the penny stock is high risk. Whether to make an investment in penny stock or not, depends upon investors’ risk preference level. A risk seeker investor will be easily interested to invest in the penny stock. But, a risk avoider investor will not be interested to invest in the penny stock.

    Pfff... hell yea! Bring it on, and thanks a bunch. I've been looking into Tim Sykes, and this seems pretty solid, but I want to do my research up one side of the mountain and down the other before I put a penny in penny stocks.

    Penny stocks are ownership shares worth pennies in typically small, obscure or startup firms.
    They are cheaper to get into and have a very high potential upside.
    They can be traded with the same strategies as regular equities, just with much smaller unit prices and much more volatility.

    They are very risky, they are less regulated too.
    They are traded on OTC's or pink slips.
    If this sounds like too much information, this is only the surface and your not ready for penny stocks.
    You need a solid understanding of the functions of capital markets to truly understand what penny stocks are.
    They are a very simple concept (literally stocks that cost pennies) but also require a deep level of financial knowledge to trade (ideally.)

    It seems like these are a really dangerous investment from what I understand?

    As far as I can tell it requires a ton of research to understand each investment and for the low cost of the investments, I have to wonder if it's worth the time? I've decided not to pursue them, but I really find the idea fascinating. I just don't know who to trust on that side of the industry and it seems I'd have to devote a ton of time to understand it. In fact even the posts on this thread make me think it's really better for those of you with a really solid understanding of investing already.

    Penny stocks, also known as cent stocks are common shares of small public companies that trade on low prices per share. They can range from 1-5 dollars. Therefore they are convenient for small time investors. They are susceptible to manipulation by speculators who buy large volumes and create a hype that they have insider information that the value is going to rise through various fora before disposing them to investors who wish to make a quick profit.

    Volatility is higher in penny stocks. Some consider them a complete gamble, but I've say normal investment knowledge and strategies are still relevant. Penny stocks are not suitable for long term stable investments, but are more for those day traders and others looking to make a profit in a shorter time frame.

    Penny stocks are type of stocks generally traded at a lower prices. They have less market capitalisation, they are most illiquid, and this type of stocks are usually listed on a smaller exchange.

    Penny stocks refer to trading for under $5 per share. While investing in penny stocks of a company, you don’t consider the company’s long term prospects rather you buy or sell on short term patters, which is to say that unlike blue chip stocks, these aren’t long term holdings. In penny stock, you take advantage of the short term movement of a volatile market.

    The companies having small market cap and having less stock price are called penny stock. In such types of companies investors takes interest if it's a growing sector company. In that types of companies stocks can also be manipulated by the investors or the operators to get stuck the retail investors into it. So, before start your investment journey you have to gain more knowledge or an experts advice is must i personally use "Stock Advisors: Invest Smarter" to keep protected from frauds and updated with the market.
