Understanding Penny Stocks
Penny stocks refer to low-priced, generally speculative stocks often associated with companies that have lower governance standards. These stocks are usually traded off-exchange, and insiders may receive stock at favorable terms, leading to potential dilution for ordinary investors. Many of these stocks are also issued by offshore companies, increasing their risk profile. Understanding the characteristics and risks of penny stocks is crucial for investors to protect themselves from potential losses.
