By Cameron Dinsdale

Good penny stocks are in essence any penny stock that you can make money with. Penny stocks can be a high-risk investment, but when they do hit they can make their investors a lot of money. The investors that have the most success with penny stocks are the people who can become well-rounded investors, and then follow through with hard work and action. These investors put themselves in a better position over time to find good penny stocks, and their methods can be replicated by any investor that is willing to put in the necessary time and effort.

Step Up Your Game

To find good penny stocks you must become a good investor, and to become a good investor you must first have a general understanding of penny stocks and the investment markets. A penny stock is a lower-priced stock that is made for typically under five dollars per share. Penny stocks are not made on the bigger exchanges such as the NYSE (New York Stock Exchange) and the NASDAQ, and rather are made on smaller listings such as Pink Sheets and the OTCBB. The companies that offer penny stocks are typically newer companies that are not big enough to go the route of an IPO or major bank investing. This is not to say a company that offers a penny stock isn’t any good, its just that the company is a bit smaller, and might not have the financial backing of a major corporation.

This being said, you must now become educate yourself in the ins and outs of penny stock investing to the point where you feel comfortable making penny stock trades on your own. You won’t be able to find good penny stocks if you have no idea what a good penny stock is, and while there are alternative routes you can take if you aren’t willing to educate yourself, these ways are pretty much akin to gambling.

Finding a Good Penny Stock

Good penny stocks can be found by knowing what to look for, and by taking the right steps upon identification. You should first find out as much information about the company you’re investing in as possible. Many companies that offer penny stocks are making a last ditch effort to raise money so that they don’t go bankrupt. You must weed out these kinds of companies while making your decision on who to invest in. Try and obtain data on the companies financials, business plan, and stock history to see if the company is in fact legit. It is fairly easy to spot these kinds of companies because they typically exhibit no record of significant profits, and many times they have a tremendous amount of debt in their name. Do your homework on the company you plan to invest in and you’ll have greater success over time.

Once you find out all you can about the company you’re investing in, you then should become aware of any market trends that may affect the company you are investing in. This should be done on both a macroscopic and microscopic level. On a macroscopic level you should be looking at broad economy indicators such as the Dow Jones Average, and the job growth rate. On a microscopic level you should learn as much as you can about the particular industry your company does business in. Gaining an understanding of these factors will help you make a better decision going forward, and will help you get a feel for how the market is going to play out in the future.

Next, you should have a plan in place that dictates the amount of money you are willing to spend, and lose while investing in your penny stocks. Penny stock investing is not gambling despite what many people may say. The people that do the best while investing in penny stocks are the ones who form a plan for their money. These people set limits on losses and purchases, and in doing these kinds of things help guarantee that they won’t be knocked out of the game too fast by any one decision, or any one bad day. If you are new to penny stock investing you should start out slow and then work your way up to bigger purchases. The more and more successful trades you accumulate, the more confident and knowledgeable you will become. Over time you will not hesitate to spend more when the time is right. Establishing a correct method and plan will also ensure that you don’t lose too much money too quickly, and by setting limits you can give yourself the piece of mind that is necessary when dealing in penny stocks.

So now that you have your plan in place and have become a skilled penny stock investor, you should now feel comfortable going out and networking with any relevant resources that can help provide you insight and increase your likelihood of success. Because you now have the knowledge and experience to decipher the good information from the bad, you should have no problem taking advantage of the abundance of resources available to you. Some of the best kinds of resources can be found online, and these include reputable websites, online newsletters, and other kinds of subscriptions to authoritative resources. Just be careful going through all of these sources as many places supply weak and faulty information that is only put into place to benefit the publisher. If you can get through all of the bad information you should be able to utilize this array of online resources to you advantage.

In Conclusion
