Penny stocks?

[vikefan52]

I would just like to know if any of you play the penny stock game with some of your discretionary money. In particular, I keep hearing a lot of buzz about the investing ROBOT named "Marl", from "WARNING: Do Not Read This Unless You Are Already Rich!". It has appeared on CNBC, BusinessWeek, Forbes, and a few others. The robot itself would cost $28,000. However, for $47 (one-time fee or per year? - not sure), you can have a couple picks sent to you every week or so. Some say it is a scam, but there are numerous testimonials to the contrary. I would just like to know if anyone has dabbled in penny stocks with a small amount of capital. Also, do you know of anyone who has used "Marl" with any degree of success? Thanks for your input.

Be careful here. Liquity is key in your investing decisions. Many of these stocks have very little volumn & are very choppy (volitial). I have experienced not being able to sale (order will not execute) on some of the penny stocks as there are no buyers. You are stuck with it & when it is falling that is brutal.

Make sure if you jump in there is plenty of volumn. Otherwise, for example if you buy 300 shares @ .89 it may effect the price when you buy & then when you sell.

Look up Tim Sykes (Google search). Chk. out his web site.

I would stay away or take a trip to Vegas instead.
