DOLPHY: my best guess is this -
In my opinion penny stocks tend to attract investors who are looking for a quick buck by buying penny stocks in mass quantities (because they have the funds) then as they begin to take off within a 1-2 day period they sell and make a profit. I have a friend who works for a huge broker and once told me that these kind of people not only have the funds but they have friends who have the funds. They apparently get together at night and say something along the lines of, "lets buy xyz stock tomorrow because it's so cheap and with our money combined we can raise the ask price and then sell at the end of the day or early the next." It's a snowball effect; as soon as a penny stock rises 1 or 2 cents, everyone else jumps on. Then they move on to the next one. Small time investors also tend to treat these penny stocks like revolving doors, in quickly and out quickly over and over, building wealth in that fashion and getting taxed heavily on it and taking a huge risk.
then there are others like us who buy in and sit there hoping for the best. had i sold at 11 cents i would have turned a 30 grand profit, but i wasn't ready to do so. a little faith can go a long way. perhaps i was dumb for not selling, but i think otherwise. we'll get our share of the action, just hold tight.
also, i know it's hard to watch this dwindle day in and out, that's why we need a hobby. :)
I'm actually going to purchase an Execute rash guard over the next two weeks for my long (5 month) trip to Hawaii, so maybe that one extra sale will put us over the top. Ha! I am a funny guy aren't I.
- see you guys on Monday...it's Vegas time.
