Welcome to " Platinum Penny Picks "




Objective...

This site is for investors/traders who wish to share ideas and opinions about penny stocks in a responsible manner. The focus will be diversified to include; day trading, swing trading, bottom reversals, mid-term and long-term growth investing with emphasis on finding the next Platinum Penny Pick, before the masses uncover it. Discovering one of these nuggets and accumulating a large position can be greatly rewarding while the story unfolds; holding a core position long while also maintaining some trading shares can be good strategy. One big winner every one to two years will make you more money than flipping a large number of stocks during the same time frame. There is a season for every investing style, whether it's day trading, momentum plays, chart plays or others. I personally am open to all styles of trading, but my focus for the bigger profits are mid to longer term plays qualified by thorough due diligence, growth and earnings potential, favorable share structure, minimal downside risk and an attractive chart.

Those of you who have known me a long time, realize the importance I place in picking a stock to invest in. Capital preservation and limiting downside risk are primary. Of course, there are other variables and forces to contend with , many which are out of our control, specifically dilution, credibility and the human factor as it relates to investor relations firms, ceo's and directors of companies who are just hyping their stock and may give out misleading information. Deciphering who is credible in most cases will be revealed in your due diligence process via phone calls, research and through reading the public filings of companies. Additionally, I have also relied on my instincts.
