The Risks of Investing In Penny Stocks
The first thing you as a new investor should be aware of is the high risk involved with small cap investing. When you buy a company like CSCO, IBM, MSFT, GE, or DELL, you are buying a quality company, backed by big names and run by hundreds of managers and consultants. Small cap companies are often run by only a handful of people. Often there is the CEO/founder/president, perhaps a COO and a few other employees.

 
What Is Penny Stock Investing?
Different people have different definitions of what a penny stock is, but most define it as a stock that is trading for less than one dollar.

Others consider a true penny stock to be a stock worth less than one dollar that’s trading on a major stock exchange. It all boils down to who you ask. It really does not matter that a stock is traded on a major exchange because the defining element of a penny stock is the price of the stock and not the exchange on which it is traded.

 
Do Low Priced Stocks Mean Low Risks for Penny Stock Investors?
Many people who are new stock trading think that penny stocks are the obvious and logical choice. The word penny indicates that the investment is small enough that they won’t have to risk a lot for a great deal of potential.

 
Pink Sheets vs. OTC Bulletin Board Stock Trading
You may have heard many small cap stocks described as an over-the-counter bulletin board stock, or an 'OTCBB' stock, for short. The bulletin board quotation system is indeed considered an 'over the counter' market in that there's no physical 'manned' exchange. But, it is not part of the NASDAQ stock market. Instead, the OTC Bulletin Board is a network of many market makers, each reporting current bids, offers, and completed trades to a centralized computer. The NASD has no authority over, or connection with, companies with bulletin-board-traded stocks.
