This Penny Stock Could Be a Triple-Digit Winner

Penny stocks can be risky if you don't thoroughly research each company.

Money Morning has three rules for investing in penny stocks to help you avoid shell company schemes and pump-and-dump scams.

penny stockFirst, choose penny stocks that have the greatest potential for growth. This might seem obvious, but it's more difficult than it sounds.

When you buy penny stocks, make sure they have sufficient underlying profits and a healthy business.

Too often, people buy penny stocks in companies with no earnings or revenue and are only convinced to thanks to savvy marketing. Owning a company because it sounds like it has a good idea or product without proof it can perform rarely works out.

Second, avoid stocks that promise fast returns. While this is the goal for investors, companies that promise outlandish returns on their stock in a short period are often scams.

Investors who fall for these promises often wind up with worthless shares in a shell company.

One way to avoid these potential schemes is to be suspicious of heavily promoted stocks, particularly those that are promising gains in the blink of an eye.

Third, only invest what you can afford to lose. Even if you follow the previous two rules, penny stocks are still speculative investments.

You simply don't want to invest money you need or are relying on into penny stocks.
