Invest in Penny Stocks

You can leave those penny's in your piggy bank collecting dust, or you can take them out and use them to invest in Penny Stocks. Penny Stocks are stocks that usually trade below $5 per share. Sometimes these stocks are sold for just a fraction of a cent. Here are some of the negatives: Penny Stocks are usually high risk stocks that are sold by smaller companies that are seeking money for expansion. These stocks tend to fluctuate greatly in price over time and have a rather low track record. On the positive side you can invest in a thousand Penny Stocks for just a few dollars. If this sounds like an exciting way to begin investing in the stock market, here are the steps to investing in Penny Stocks.
