Written by Peter Leeds

Sinking Ships - When a stock has dropped a lot you may think that, "it can’t go any lower," or that it is "a good bargain." Especially with penny stocks, you need to avoid this type of thinking because many sinking ships don’t ever rebound, and they can go lower, and they aren’t good bargains just because they cost less than before.

Commission Free - If you are interested in getting stock commission free you may think you are saving money, but it generally means that you are buying overrepparttar counter stock directly from a promoter orrepparttar 111753 company. Either way, they take their own invisible ‘commission’ from you, either by selling to you for an arbitrary amount which is unfairly high, or selling to you forrepparttar 111754 asking price rather thanrepparttar 111755 bid price based on their own current valuations.

International Penny Stock - We’re not talking about living inrepparttar 111756 U.S. and steering clear of Canadian stock, or vice versa. We are talking about penny stock issues from Africa, Australia, European, Russian, or South American penny stock markets. First of all, you won’t be too impressed withrepparttar 111757 level of investor protection and exchange honesty in some of these regions, and you most certainly won’t be too impressed withrepparttar 111758 broker fees you incur when trying to purchase internationally. Besides, if you can’t find good penny stock investments in North America, you won’t be able to find them anywhere else either.

Warrants and Rights - These are not technically stocks, but instead are derivative investments based on an underlying company's shares. However, they often appear like penny stocks because they sometimes get listed inrepparttar 111759 stock pages, and often trade for pennies.
