Penny Stocks - A Valuable Tool in Your Investment Toolkit

Google, Microsoft, Coca Cola, General Electric - The financial news is all about large companies.

Patient, value investing has never gone out of style. It is still the key component for building long term wealth. Holding a long term portfolio and living off the interest remains a sound retirement plan.

Building the wealth portfolio, however, takes some doing. The fundamentals are the same - spend less than you earn, invest a fixed amount. Increasing the amount you can invest while not reducing your standard of living requires a stream of additional income.

Penny stock trading can be one of the key weapons in your investment arsenal. Penny stocks are stocks that are usually out of the radar screen of most investment analysts, and stuff you don't hear on CNBC or Bloomberg. They usually trade for less than 5 dollars, sometimes even 20 or 50 cents a share.

And that's just one of the key reasons why penny stocks are so attractive. A significant development can cause the price of the stock to rise by a couple of dollars. For a stock trading at $1.50, a rise of $3 is a 200% gain. How likely is it that a stock like Google can go up by 200%?

The low price also means that one doesn't need to put a lot of capital at risk to get into the game. Have a few hundred bucks to spare? At $1 a share, all you need is$100 to start trading. What if you could double your money in a month? What if you could double your money every month?

If a penny stock hits a major discovery or development, you could be in for a 20 fold increase in price, more so if the company gets bought over in this day of incessant Merger and Acquisition activity.

Are penny stocks risky? You bet they are, if you're trading blindly without any guidance. Walking out of your bedroom without the lights on at night is also dangerous. Penny stocks are usually those with a short history, at the early stage of their existence. Which means that they could fold as easily too.

Here's where proper detailed analysis comes into the picture. You and I may not have the time to research any stock, let alone one which is hardly covered in the media. But we can rely on others to do it for us - full time analysts whose sole objective is to research those hard to find penny stocks. On the recommendation of this analyst, I have made 40% on one stock over 2 weeks, and am sitting on 55% returns of the next one.

If you're looking to make that extra buck, you'll probably have traded forex, futures, options and stocks. Trading penny stocks will give an extra edge to your trading arsenal, and the low startup cost is one that many will be able to afford.

I recommend the Penny Stock Picker from my own experience. I am currently practising trading options to make 200-400% returns with my own analysis and tools. The Penny Stock Picker lays it all out in a regular weekly email. All you have to do is read a bit on it, and get into your brokerage account. Its true you can start with a few hundred bucks.

Best Time for Investing Now? Try Dollar Cost Averaging

Global stock markets fell sharply over the last week. In particular, Asian markets, which had enjoyed a strong run-up over the past few months, made steep declines, halted by some buying in today's trading.

With the dip in market prices, is it the right time to pick up some shares that are as much as 20% cheaper than they were a week ago? It appears the worst might be over, and the economy continues to move along strongly. However, liquidity amongst the retail investors might is also thinning with each fall - there are also fears that this might be a technical rebound, and the risks from here are growing with each passing day.

Trading in markets that are liquidity driven and therefore subject to short term swings brings about an interesting challenge. Get the timing right, and you'll get superb short term returns, get it wrong, and you're quickly out of the game.

The best way to trade these markets is not to trade at all.

Yes, you read that right. Most investment experts would advise that for a long term investment plan, the best strategy would be to adopt dollar cost averaging. To recap, dollar cost averaging means that when prices fall, the investor buys more of the stock, and when prices are high, the investor buys less. In the long run, as long as prices continue on a rising trend, the investor will come out on top.

This simple strategy is even more effective in volatile markets, for extreme swings means that you get in at the cheapest prices, which should give you good reward over the longer term.

My Latest Experiment

The financial markets look like they're starting to hit their peak, at least in Asia, with some quarters expecting an interest rate hike from the Chinese Central Bank in the near future. Patience will pay off as markets start to ride downwards, and valuations start to get cheaper in the emerging Asian markets.

Since I have to be patient with investments, I've decided to start my latest experiment?
Adopting one of the tennis betting strategies to attempt to make an income on the web.
Visit my new blog at wealthbetting.blogspot.com to view all my bets and results. I'm starting with $100 and with some accurate use of the strategy, the money will double every month, or so they say.

Take a look; when I get successful, I'll share the secret....

Till then, cheers!

What's Stopping You Today?

I ask myself this question every time I feel stuck at internet businesses or investments.

This is as much a message to myself as it is a posting of my thoughts on what it takes to get moving in this business.

Like everyone else who holds a decent day job, the inertia in getting moving on Internet businesses is extremely great. Add to that the amount of time spent looking through biz opps in your inbox. If this sounds like you, you're definitely not alone.

FOCUS - Follow One Course Until Successful
I read this in Robert and Donald's book (See previous post below) and while its not something new to me, it did strike me too. So often I am distracted by the next money making opportunity that I am lost with the existing one.

So today, I'm gonna resolve to complete one thing at a time.


The other thing I learnt about internet marketing and internet businesses, is that interest is extremely important. My interest is in personal finance and financial freedom, so I can keep on writing about different topics that relate to me. But try doing that for a topic you ain't interested in, and the quality of any site you're creating just crashes through.

So here we go, into the weekend - hoping that I get something created and built by the end of Sunday. It's time for me to focus and DO something instead of just reading about it. Perhaps its time you did the same?


Have a productive weekend!
