Penny Stock

A stock that sells for less than $1 a share but may also rise to as much as $10/share as a result of heavy promotion. All penny stocks are traded OTC or on the pink sheets.


Penny stocks are highly speculative and risky. Many brokerages don't cover them simply because they are so difficult to track and predict.
