I used to work for a large manf, then started my own co. Kept real busy that way. Only dabbled in stocks, CAL, UAUA, a couple pharmaceutical companies, stuff I didn't have to watch close, or have a great deal of investment knowledge. These penny stocks are very complex. Trying to learn mergers, reverse splits etc. Thought I'd ask a few questions. The downturn in the economy has really hurt my business, and I am hoping to make some money in the penny market, to pay mort, bills etc.
