I have noticed the low priced stocks on the NYSE are more likely to go BK than those on the naz. The reason, I concluded was that a NYSE stock that sold for such a low price was there for a good reason. It was in trouble. I found this out when I had started tracking a list of low priced NYSE stocks and very soon after some were filing for BK! I have followed hundreds of Nasdaq lows and a very small percentage have gone away. They were always fairly low priced anyway. Anyway, if your going to play the low priced issues be sure to have a very diversified port.
