Hey guys, thanks for all the candid replies. I am an old guy, old school investor with equities....made more than enough for retirement holding XOM, IBM, AAPL, etc, miners and lots of physical.
My move to the OTC lower trade platforms came with a sizable sum I pulled for playing with more leveraged companies. Yes, that's a different animal and I'm still learning....struck out with my first penny stock in 2009-2013, but learned that DD is MUCH more important with sub penny issues due to more crooked management.
I have NEVER made consistent money trying to trade, and ended up hating myself for leaving money or holding too long....the aggravation was not worth mixed results.
So, investment in a few sub penny stocks is now with money am able to lose as it will not change my life in any way. Still, it is important to get good results from all the DD to find and accumulate rough "gems".
