As the name implies, Penny stocks are low-priced stocks of small companies with a market capitalization of less than 1000 crore. These stocks are highly speculative in nature due to their price volatility that people arbitrage to gain high profits. Many investors simply put their money in penny stocks with an optimistic hope of becoming multi-baggers. In the quest to find the next big thing, some often end up losing a large amount of their net worth by investing in such stocks. On the contrary, penny stocks also account for several tales of rags to riches of many investors in the stock market. 

Why are penny stocks so popular

Different Investors have different reasons for investing in penny stocks. While these stocks have a huge gains potential, they also come with the possibility of wiping away one’s wealth. Hence, for investors in the game of speculation, penny stocks are just a shot in the dark. At the same time, many invest in penny stocks in light of fundamentals and good company financials. Many companies whose stocks earlier traded in nickels, have now risen to fame and are recognised as blue chips.
