Yep, you can make money with penny stocks every day. The better you are at controlling emotions and planning out your trade, the better your chances of consistent profits will be. One of the most frequent things I hear from new traders is that penny stocks aren’t worth it because they’re not good companies.

Honestly, if the goal is to make money with penny stocks, then a “trader mentality” is better suited than one designed for investing. This isn’t to say that investing in penny stocks is wrong.

Are Penny Stocks Worth It?

People will buy and sell these stocks under $5 in a short period of time because of how quickly they run-up, in general. This week, alone, has been one of the best weeks to be watching small-cap and micro-cap stocks. Why? More than “just a handful” have run up into the thousands of percentage points and with record-setting volume. In these cases, you can’t forget why you bought stocks in the first place: to make money.

So, why go into a trade with the mindset of making money and get caught up in the hype that makes you think a stock is the next Apple? If you truly feel it necessary to hold a longer-term position, you may be better suited by holding a smaller core and trading “around” that core position.

This will at least allow you to benefit from short term moves while holding onto a lower cost average in the even the company hits it big. This leads me to a new list of penny stocks to watch. Will one of them become the next big trade in the small-cap arena?
