What are Penny Stocks?
Penny stocks are low-priced stocks that are often sold in small quantities. They can be very affordable for the investor, and the prices tend to fluctuate less than other larger stocks, making penny stocks an attractive investment for many investors. The main difference between penny stocks and larger companies is that they tend to trade on smaller exchanges with lower trading volumes, so it’s more likely that a large price movement will occur when a company releases new information about its performance or future plans.
While penny stocks are often associated with low-quality investments, there are some legitimate businesses that have been able to successfully grow into large enterprises by offering great products or services at affordable prices. For example, Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) has grown from a small online bookstore to one of the most valuable companies in the world due to its innovative approach to e-commerce and its commitment to delivering high-quality products at reasonable prices.
