Too risky for me, seems like a pump and dump scheme mixed with a game of musical chairs.
I wouldn't use any money you can't afford to lose, but I'm assuming you already know that. Good luck. |

I considered that 1k a loss so if I win great I will pull my original investment out and play with the house money from there on. Just exciting watching the ups and downs. |

Liquidity is another issue you need to keep in mind with penny stocks. Are you investing in more standard stocks/funds as well? I don't think there are many successful long term penny stock traders out there. |

You should consider options instead. The action is the same or even better and at least there you have a remote chance of making money based on informed trades. The most legendary options trade of my recent memory was when NFLX popped almost 100 points in a single day due to earnings and guidance exceeding expectations. Options action was such that $500 in the right call options became $100,000 overnight. It was spectacular. ETA: I should be clear that trading options is ultimately a game with a house advantage BUT at least the games aren't rigged like they are with penny stocks. |

I'll read up on it but seems to have worked well for you. Thanks for sharing Let me be clear, I did not turn $500 into $100,000. I watched OTHER people do it live as soon as their earnings were released. I've had a few nice wins on options though along the way though but nothing like that. Easy to lose money too but no more so than penny stocks. I just think it's a superior gamble if gambling is what you are going for since options can be used in an informed manner and not simply as a "greater fool" game. |

I just made 10% on a $32,000 investment in the iShares Biotech ETF, exiting my position with a $3,200 profit earned over the last three weeks. I sold all and exited because I was worried about biotech being a bubble that might burst the same way the housing prices did. The top holdings in this ETF also have a P/E ratio of over 50, so that was another reason why I sold.

If you are want to try something like that, you might want to look into an emerging market.

Update: my original post this sub penny stock was .003 it is now up to .0177 the merger was delayed and they just released update the merger is complete. Latest news was waiting on a stock ticker change and name change to represent the reverse merger of American Preformance technology/ motovox. As well as audited financials for apt which is around 12 million rumored
Targeted price per share is .25-.50 within a few months |

Wow its down, pennies are funny, it might be buy time. I pulled profits so I'm happy. Just play every penny stock as a scam and ride the momentum. |

Not really a penny stock, but HK had been looking good lately. I keep saying I should buy it, but talk myself out, thinking it's going to tank. So far this year it hasn't.

I guess it counts as a penny stock; a guy at work has been pitching STSI for at least a couple years now. Sounds like a used car salesman trying to scam me out of something.

I made a nice chunk off of Liquidmetal (LQMT) this week, but it raised so many questions about the penny stocks that I'm not sure how likely I am to return to that area. It's one thing to just sort of "what if" it and compare it to buying a lottery ticket. It's something else when you make a genuine effort to research the company and their financials and then have to wonder if their biggest stock mover is social media. For some of this stuff, the only sources of information may well be completely fabricated. My current assessment is that it's a constant battle between fraudsters and dreamers. The idea of finding those few legitimate nuggets of prosperity in a field full of worthless shit does hold some appeal though. |

I'd be more likely to buy some way out of the money options if I wanted to venture into what I would consider a "gambling" risk level. |

View Quote HK is a tank and it's position in the eastern TMS is solid. Besides GDP, HK has the best position in wilkinson county. Today's dip gave me yet another reason to further my holding. I avoid penny stocks even though there is always rumors coming across my desk especially small E&P companies and startups. I'd tell you to stick with what you know unless you just like huge risk. |

Yes it's a 1 to 1 share from Froz to MTVX |
