RSSTrading Nasdaq Penny Stocks
Monday, June 7th, 2010
An investor who wants to get involved in the stock market, have to understand that companies are not only born, but are rather made. They have to work their way to the top just like other firms. Investors at times think that investing in NASDAQ Penny Stocks, will find them the next big fortune maker but that is not the way to go.
NASDAQ Penny Stocks and Micro-cap stocks are stocks used on the NASDAQ that are interchangeable. The penny stocks are stocks that are considered to be five dollars or less, and some think that they are three dollars or less while others classify them as under a dollar. There are some that classify them as not being on the major market sheet.
The main thing that investors’ needs to know about the penny or micro-cap stocks are that these are riskier than regular stocks.
There are four major issues that an investor must think about when buying micro-cap stocks:-
The first is lack of information at large. This pertains to miro-cap stocks and not the penny stocks as these stocks are generally found on pink sheets where the companies do not have to file with the SEC so they don’t have to publicly give out information on their company.
The next is there are no minimum standards and if the Stocks cannot hold their own on the major market exchange, then they have to move to one of the other exchanges. On these exchanges, there are no minimum standard requirements to stay on the exchange.
Another is the lack of history and this applies to micro-cap shares, and not mainly to NASDAQ shares. Micro-caps are from companies that are fairly new or are companies approaching bankruptcy and do not have a good history of strength.
And, the last issue is liquidity. So, if the NASDAQ penny stocks do not have much liquidity then selling the stock may not be possible. Liquidity refers to the volume that it have or the amount of activity and money flows that the stock has.
