Penny stock and volume question?

Posted at: 2014-12-05 
A lack of liquidity due to a lack of investors interested in trading the stock. This causes transactions to be split into multiple orders, as there aren't enough people buying. And that's mostly because people just don't like penny stocks.

That's why people avoid low volume stocks. Besides true long-term investment purposes, they're not worth trading because of the lack of liquidity.

yes - it would be very difficult to sell two million shares at $0.05. This would be a $100,000 transaction. When you buy the stock at $0.0001 - you're investing $200.00.

So you are asking how easy is it to turn $200 into $100,000? Very very difficult. People who can invest $100,000 are going to research the stock and find that it has little to no value. Most penny stocks trade at fractions of a cent for a reason - they are just part of a pump and dump scheme built around a shell company with vague plans and little cash.

I have seen several stocks do this based on historical info.

I do not think for a second all or most would.I am not asking how easy is it to do that and I do not get why you assumed that.

I want to learn about the volume with them.

Explain why it would be very difficult to sell that many?

There are 3 problems with your stratergy.

1). While you can buy as many as you can afford you can only sell a number close to or within the Normal Market Size (NMS ), the average daily volume of shares traded.

2). For a tranche larger than the NMS , a lower than quoted bid price will have to be accepted.

3).Because of often large spreads, stellar rises can easily be wiped out and even return a loss.

Say I buy 2 million shares of a penny stock trading at 0.0001 and it reaches lets say 0.05 a share and I want to sell it.

Now I have seen stocks that have done this but my question is will it be very difficult to sell all 2 million shares at once?

I knew a guy that said low volume stocks are a waste of time since you can't be filled to buy or sell easily so he avoided them.

I want to try something like this since it is cheaper but highly risky and most likely very slow but if I can't sell them all once I make money that would suck.
