How to trade penny stocks?27 April 2011, 6:42 pmAs we all know penny stocks are very volatile and risky yet they are extremely profitable. They can go up 200% a day and 50% the next day which is something that will never happen to large stocks. When you first start out, you should invest with a small amount. This is not the money that you need for your child’s college, not the money for retirement, or the money you need to pay rent or mortgage. This is the money that you are willing to risk in order to win more. If that’s you, then follow the following steps to begin trading penny stocks.
1. Find a reputable stock broker that you can trade penny stocks with. We recommend the following stock brokers, ETrade,
Zecoo, Fidelity or TDAmeritrade.
2. Read some books on how to trade penny stocks. You can start with

3. Subscribe to some penny stock newsletters and get tips from stocks forums, such as
Penny Stock Prophet. However, you never trade base on tips or newsletter recommendations solely. You should be doing your own research before buying a penny stock.
4. Research – After you find a stock you want to buy, you need to thoroughly study the stock and do some research on the company’s background and fundamentals. Do you believe the company has good products to sell? Are their stocks going to take off? There are a lot of scam companies out there, so you should be really careful when it comes to buy a penny stock.
5. You need to treat penny stock trading as a business, not as one of the hobbies you have, after all, you invest money in them.
6. Keep a journal that notes the mistakes you make along the way and try to avoid them in the future.
There are the 6 rules that you should always follow when you started trading penny stocks.
