A Novice's Guide to Penny Stocks

Penny stocks are low priced and highly speculative stocks that are very risky. They are generally issued by start-up companies with little track record in revenues and earnings. This type of stocks is very popular among small speculators because of its low prices and high earning potentials.

Most penny stocks are not traded on the stock exchange market such as the American Stock Exchange, the NASDAQ or the New York Stock Exchange, but they are traded in the over-the-counter (OTC) market. If you are interested in trading penny stock, you should find a reliable online broker who is willing to execute penny stock orders. Be sure to check the trading fees and minimum account balance requirement before opening up an online trading account.
