Despite the stellar return, it is important to note that penny stocks are high-risk stocks and not suitable for investors with a risk-averse approach. Only high-risk investors should invest in such stocks and in very small weightage. Please consult your financial advisor before making any changes to your portfolio.
Challenges associated with penny stocks emanate from the fact that these are very small companies with negligible analyst coverage, very limited information on the public domain and often inaccessible insights from the management. Along with these fundamental challenges, the stock specifically is vulnerable to challenges pertaining to the security of such characteristics as the vulnerability to risks of illiquidity, impact cost and typical challenges associated with slim volumes.
Unless there is a really strong reason, investing in penny stocks is not generally recommended to serious, long-term investors.
