Possibly but if the news of the "release" is out already often times in a situation like that the rise of the price has already taken place in anticipation of the release. Also, on penny stocks which many people play, often times what a company states they are going to release and if they actually release it are two separate things. Not always but sometimes these companies will make statements/claims of things and in some cases don't follow thru. If you had a specific Co maybe I or someone here could better respond on specifics.
You've come to the right place for your first post and Garyst is the man to ask anything. My advice is go slow if this is all new to you. About your question, I was once told that if you find a product or service out in the real world and you think it is great, you should look to invest in it because chances are that others will think it's great also and want to buy it, creating value. Hope that helps a little.
