In a perfect world the penny market would give the little guy, with an idea, an opportunity to enter the market in a small way and grow slowly until he could compete with the already established big boys.
But the big boys keep their fingers on the pulse of upcoming and threatening competition by hiring thugs who roam these boards, and when they sense success, try to put a company out of business before it can get started.
Hence the complicit tardiness and reluctance by the SEC to make the penny stock market a legitimate and safe place in which the small investor can help the innovating entrepreneur get his start without worrying more than the regular investor has to worry investing on the big boards.
