Finding a hot penny stock is a bit challenging given the lack of transparency. There are no financial statements to read or annual reports to sift over. So how would you start?
Maybe the best way, especially for a beginner, is to take a fundamental approach. Here are a few simple steps to follow:
1. Choose an industry that you are familiar with. We all have interests, passions or hobbies that we understand and like to talk about. Starting with a line of work that you are intimately familiar with is a good place to begin. Employees in the travel industry might want to research the Pink Sheets for companies in this industry. Or maybe you work in technology and have specific expertise in software or hardware.
2. A second approach could be to explore companies that deal in a favorite hobby of yours. Maybe you love music and follow the industry. A music fan might want to research technology happening in the music industry. Maybe you come across a company that brings undiscovered talent to the world through the median of the internet. Looking deeper, you find this music production company is a penny stock traded on the Pink Sheets. You become convinced they have a great service in an ever expanding marketplace.
3. Your next step would be to begin to research the company. In today's world, most research is conducted online first. You may also want to look into a few industry trade publications. So you then begin to study the industry to confirm that there is a market for this service and growth potential of the industry.
4. Your research continues to investigate the company itself. Begin with compiling questions like: "How experienced is the management team"? "How long have they been in business?" "Do they have any investor relations contact personnel to speak to?" This is where you can begin to find out about company ownership, upcoming business developments and hopefully financial information.
5. Lastly, you research the stock, its history, its trading range, and many other factors. This is where it's recommended to find a financial professional to help you make an intelligent decision.
These steps are very basic in nature, but a way that you can begin the due diligence process... and maybe, just maybe, find a hot penny stock before it's discovered.
