It’s possible to profit when you understand the rules of the game, but the odds are against you when you don’t. Here are the most important things you should know before start investing in penny stocks:

1. Choose and know your strategy!!!

This is the most important rule. You must have a solid clear strategy

Here you will learn the  Value strategy – used to determine the real value of a stock.

2. Choose and know your strategy!!! (again)

Nope this is not a mistake – knowing your strategy is that important,

In your “Investor Toolbox” you should also have Technical analysis strategy – used to determine the next stock move and to find the best sell/buy time.

3. Diversify – don’t buy big positions

4. Be rational

It happens to all investors – even the pros but it is wrong and they usually regret it – Don’t fall in love with a stock!
Let the numbers talk, and only the numbers. If a stock isn’t right according to your strategy cold numbers – it does not fit, and you are not investing.

5. Check penny stocks market of exchange

Make sure that available penny stocks are traded over a regular market exchange and not as over-the-counter.

Over-the-counter, or OTC, stock listings don’t require the same disclosure and regulation as larger stocks, and that can create additional risk.

6. Buy only the best

Look for penny stocks that fit your value strategy (More about stock value strategy here) and has high real value, also find the stocks that their technical analysis state is optimal, like for instance when they are breaking out to 52-week highs on high volume (more about technical analysis here).
If a stock does not fit all your criteria’s – DON’T BUY IT. You should not compromise.

7. Be cautious with listening to company management

The company management has an interest – they are trying to get their stock up so they can raise money and stay in business.

8. Liquidity – Focus only on penny stocks with high volume

One of the risks when investing in penny stocks is that you can’t buy and sell as soon as you want to, because there are not enough sellers and buyers. as a rule of thumb stick to stocks with a volume of at least 100,000 shares a day

9. Know the risks

Penny stock trading has a unique set of risks on top of the regular stock trading:
– Not enough information and history data –Penny stocks aren’t necessarily traded on the stock exchange (but in OTC markets), so they don’t have to file with the SEC.

– No minimum standards – If the stock is traded only on OTCBB exchange, there are no minimum standards that they have to fulfill to remain on the exchange market.
– Less liquidity- As we already mentioned, Penny stocks are often hard to find a buyer for. If you can’t find a buyer, you may have to lower your asking price until it’s no longer profitable to sell.
– volatility – Penny stock are highly volatile for better and for worse – be ready for a roller coaster and don’t be intimidated of Steep changes.
