Penny stocks can flip on a dime (coin joke intentional). Based on this simple fact, investors trading penny stocks can make a lot of money. Most people will buy penny stocks during periods of high volume and following positive news. However, some investors will put money in a non-active stock. Why? They hope it has a significant spike on future penny stock news. Traders on May 21st saw both situations occur across three different sectors.
