Penny stock investing is notoriously risky, which is why many investors are right to worry about penny stock scams. Without knowing what traps to look for, these penny stock scam companies can steal your hard-earned money.
VideoStrategies for Picking Penny Stock WinnersToday, we've done the research for you so you can avoid these scams and safely invest in penny stocks.
You see, penny stocks are attractive because they can offer double-digit or even triple-digit returns in a very short time. For example, Cleveland BioLabs Inc. (Nasdaq: CBLI) skyrocketed from $1.56 at the Thursday, April 13, close to $5.10 on Wednesday, April 19. That's a stunning 227% return in just three sessions (the markets were closed that Friday).
And penny stock scammers try to take advantage of investors looking for those quick gains. If they succeed, you could be left with huge losses.
This deceptive financial behavior is much more widespread than you may think. A July 2014 report from The Wall Street Journal noted how the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) suspended trading for over 1,300 companies between 2012 and 2014 in an effort to crack down on penny stock fraud.
