Why would some buy penny stocks?

The term Penny Stocks is synonymous with micro cap stocks. Penny stocks are looked at in terms of their price. Stocks with a market capitalization between $50 and $300 million are penny stocks anything less that $50 million is a nano cap. The SEC states any stock under $5 is a penny stock. Personally I consider any stock that is trading on the pink sheets or over-the-counter bulletin board (OTCBB) to be a penny stock.
Its tough to make a penny stock company successful, they have to work their way from
lowly penny stocks up through the ranks just like everyone else. Some investors
believe that finding the next huge company means scouring through penny stocks. This
strategy will prove to be unsuccessful in most cases as most penny stock companies
do fail at the greater goal of becoming large players on the major exchanges.
Traders enjoy penny stocks for many reasons, mainly the volatility that can gain
them large profits in a short time. Penny stocks are traded in short swings of a few
minutes in a day to longer weekly and monthly swings. One does not want to sit and
hold a portfolio of penny stocks, this will most definately leave the investor
broke. When you buy penny stocks , buy them to trade. Do not buy them for investment,
and first read about penny stocks from successful penny stock traders. Its a tough
world.

Penny Stock Picks

I usually dont buy penny stock picks.

Normally I don't buy penny stock picks, at least I don't buy them on the hype. Recently with this run of KATX today I searched to see if it was a pick or pump and dump. You know the drill. I found that KATX was picked by the penny stock blog. I also found many mentions of it on various message boards. This stock traded wildly make a lot of people money. During this time it had many pullbacks and runs. After it stopped for months, traders stocked up and it is flying again.

Good Luck out there its dangerous.
