If you choose to “play” in the OTC cesspool, you stand a good chance of being surrounded by shady characters... both inside the company and outside the company. The SEC estimates that the average return on the OTC is MINUS 62%, meaning for every dollar risked, $.28 is returned. Personally, I avoid penny stocks like the plague and invest in big board stocks exclusively.
Kool-aid is the beverage of choice amongst penny dwellers.
