Buy Penny Stocks to Boost Your Portfolio
In the world of investing, the majority of the time you only hear of day traders who buy penny stocks in hopes of turning a quick profit. The true investor sticks with the more researched, analyzed, scrutinized, and more than likely correctly priced companies. Most of these companies just don’t have the ability to grow at any significant rate however since they are already too large. Finding new sectors or market share growth that makes any difference to the corporation’s bottom line is difficult at best. These companies are fine for most of your investments as you can grow your portfolio at a steady and predictable rate. However, to make any real head-way you need to find something that returns better than average. That’s where the well thought out penny stock can come into play.
Think “Future Large Cap”
When you’re looking at penny stocks as potential long term investments you want to find a company that is working towards becoming another large cap or even blue chip stock. Not a company that is looking to survive, change the world, or get bought out by Google. These companies with anything other than long term profit growth in mind shouldn’t make the cut. If you’ve ever read the book “Good to Great” you know these companies find a metric that works for them and they do it better than anyone else. For example, Walgreen’s metric was sales per visit. They built their whole store around maximizing how much a person buys each time they visit. They optimized and magnified this model until they were huge. You want to find the penny stock that has already found their metric.
Now your not going to find these companies listed in a penny stocks for dummies article. These companies are also probably not wasting their time talking on chat rooms or calling you at home (those type of companies are desperate and are often scams.) You’re going to find these high potential companies as you do business with them or they employ people you know. You also might read of them in the financial times or even the business section of your city newspaper. So keep your ear to the ground and when you think you’ve found the next big hit, buy some stock; it just might be the most profitable investment of your entire portfolio.
