It is also possible to win the lottery and I would buy a lottery ticket before I would buy a penny stock. |

The snow ball has a better chance than you (or anyone) has of making a million dollars from a pennystock
When you invest/trade in penny stock you should never put up more than you can afford to loose and you should assume you will loose it all. Unlike regular securities, penny stocks usually do not let you use risk cutting procedures (options and/or stop orders) since most are not traded in a highly regulated market place.
They say when you buy securities you have a 50%-50% chance of making money, when you buy penny stocks you have a 50-50-90% chance, 50-50 chance of making money and a 90% chance of loosing money.
When buying penny stocks, like any other security investment, you never invest 100% of you investing capital. Penny stocks are fun to trade, but you should never count on them to be considered part of your primary investment objectives.
In the stock market there is no holy grail, there's no quick way to make money, there's no easy out, there's no system or plan that will make you rich. The people that keep looking for these things is why PT. Barnum said, "there's one born every minute"
AMBAC, ABK got caught up in the prime lending and bank problems. Although it's not quite a penny stock (5.75) it may go lower. I'd rather buy it knowing it was on an uptrend rather than is just hovering. |

If you are issuing the penny stocks then yes |

I think it's possible but extremely rare. I think small amounts of money can be made from time to time but that money should be used for long term investments which over time can make millions. |

It is possible but it is very possible to lose a lot.
Lets take a $1 stock. You buy it and in 6 months it is worth $50. That is a 5000% improvement. Lets say that you started out with $100. That means that you turned $100 into $5000. Heck of a gain. Pick another stock that does the same and your $5000 will turn into $250,000.
The problem is there is no real way to predict which stocks are going to rise like that and there are more losers than winners. Many times a $1 stock will turn into a $.25 stock. That means your $100 is now worth $25.
I would not throw everything you have into this but it is fun to do a little bit of speculation. Pick up a bit of money that you would not mind losing. Find a cheap stock and buy it and see what happens. I know people who spent $10 a week on the lottery and year after year they have nothing to show for it. They could have picked penny stocks and made at least a little bit of money. They probably would not get rich doing it but they would at least do better than what they do with the lottery.
Ambac has made a nice gain today (around 9% when I looked). However, you need to learn to watch for something. There is a scam called pump and dump. A scammer will buy up a cheapo stock. Then the scammer will tell people to also buy the stock. The scammer will go onto the web and tell as many people to buy. Soon, people start to buy the stock. It starts to go up. The scammer will sell as soon as it starts to rise. The rise in the stock is short lived. Soon, the price will start to fix itself and it will drop. The people who bought in will lose a good chunk of their money. I do know if this is happening with your stock but it is something to consider. Beware of people telling you what stocks to invest in. |

I specialize in "low priced" stocks...I try to stay away from the ones that are "penny" stocks...Reason being is that despite the best efforts of regulators that market is still full of securities that are dubious at best. Of the several 100K available equities out there in the universe it's impossible to predict which if any will provide any reasonable gain(s). I have been fortunate enough to know when to cut losses and move on. I won't/can't say I've always come out ahead...but overall I've been successful in the markets. Yes millions can be made in the markets...NOT NECESSARILY IN PENNY STOCKS! PEACE & GOOD HUNTING! |

If you find the right stock
Aurelean resources (junior mining gold stock) went from 20 cents to 20.00
20 cents X 100,000 shares =$20,000
20.00 X 100,000 shared = 2,000,000
Here's the probem.
Who knows which stock will go up 10,000%?
You would NEVER put all your money in one stock, but spread it around.
Hope this helps. |

Most penny stocks never make it.
They are highly unregulated, many are shell companies where they get people to spam emails, faxes and have net posts to hype the stock, then they dump the stock.
See Boiler Room (based on a true story)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiler_Room_(film)
The volume in penny stocks are so thin, you can get in easy (pay a higher % price too), it's the getting out is the hard part.
Few penny stocks turn into decent companies but it is because they actually have a solid idea, product that the public wants and needs and no one else has. If the idea is truly hot big capital firms and investment banks would have already poured money into the company and get them listed on a real stock exchange with real capital to develop the product.
If you want to SPECULATE in penny stocks, just try not to put in any more you can afford to lose.
As for ABK:
ABK isn't a penny stock - we'll, not yet. Still trading on NYSE. I've been avoiding these bond insurers since they hit the $5.00 range. |
