Stocks are cheap for a reason, usually one that penny stock investors simply ignore. Strong companies produce profits, which entices investors to buy company stock. I think if more people understood how supply and demand works, then many investors would ignore the penny stock game.I still buy cheap stocks now as speculative plays, but only when the company has produced profits in the past and has a profitable business model. I picked up ROIA and RAD. Might pick up some shares of SIX if Daniel Synder can make the amusement parks profitable again. That’s a very good point, Sun.

The only reason I bought those stocks was that they were cheap, so even if I lose money, it won't be at a level that I couldn't handle. Well, I bought a lot of those stocks and ended up didn't make money with most of them. There are reasons why the stocks go so low and could continue to go downward.
