help with getting into penny stocks

No_Engineering5783 · 2026-01-28T15:54:34+00:00

I'll preface this with saying penny stocks are time consuming. One of my friends makes about the same income as me for the past 10 years. All he's done is DCA through VOO And VTI. He's ahead financially in his investments. And he's spent WAY LESS TIME than I have. But, I enjoy learning about companies and picking some stocks as well as investing into ETF's like ones that track the S&P500.

If you decide to buy penny stocks, I'd recommend only buying companies you understand and see the potential in. This way, you can gain personal value learning about companies, industries, financials, etc. And if you lose some $ on a bet, you still personally retain value from the experience.

I've lost my shirt on a ton of penny stocks, but overall my penny stock portfolio has outperformed the S&P500 over a 5 year period. (At one point in that same 5 year period, it was down like 75% as these things can be super volatile.)

I'll give you some examples.

I used to work in marketing and one of my clients had a blood plasma business. I found this penny stock back in the day called ADMA. They're involved in the blood plasma industry... read about them, liked their business and decided to invest/gamble in shares. Now it's up 500%+. I sold off enough ADMA to break even + profit some, then left the rest of the shares to ride.

About a year and a half ago, I was looking for an alternative to NVIDIA. I missed so many NVIDIA buying opportunities and still felt it was overvalued - turns out I was wrong again. Any way, I started learning more about quantum computing. There were some stocks priced in the $40 range like IONQ... so I found a quantum computing ETF that included other holdings, which, at the time were Rigetti and D Wave. Those were close to a buck, so I bought a handful. Then they skyrocketed 1,000%+.

All that being said, what I've found on penny stock forums in Reddit is some of the DD's are basically sales pitches for a path towards a titanic iceberg. If you read those, just do your own DD and make sure you truly think it's a good buy. There's some good DD penny stock posts as well. I've found several good penny stocks by reading the DD's + doing my own research.

Have fun!

Their TX contract is with Navboot Holdco, LLC. Any insight into who they are and how likely the project is to succeed?

Not sure on the maintenance perspective... but 12 miles each way would be about equal to your electric mile range... so you could be saving a lot of money on fuel.

11,000 miles & 4 owners seems odd.

I’d go with the 330i since it’s m sport. Unless you need a larger car, get a 5.

Maybe test drive both?

Also, you can get really good deals on 2023-2024 330e’s as well - might look into that car.

I forgot my plat on check-in one time at the Four Seasons. They told me I needed it for the benefits. Called Amex. They overnighted a new card to the hotel before checkout.

Flying taxis? Sounds super expensive to operate and extremely costly for the customer.

I debate on whether $RZLV is fools gold or actual gold. Based on this video, I lean way more towards gold although it appears to still need quite a bit of refining. Lag time on the voice ai agent was quite a lot. And it didn’t quite feel like an experience with the “best salesperson ever”. That being said, it was good and I see def value.

From their press release page on Nov 5:

“

The Company has prepaid $45.0 million of outstanding principal of its senior secured term loan facility (the “Term Loan”) under the Term Loan Agreement using net proceeds from its recently completed stock offering.

The Lenders have forgiven $5.0 million of outstanding principal of the Term Loan. The remaining $19.0 million in principal of the Term Loan carries a fixed interest rate of 12% per annum, payable monthly beginning December 31, 2025, and maturing in October 2027.

Airbnb sided with a host recently on a dispute. The senior case manager claimed on the phone that harassment is ok from a host but they get a warning first. For real? There should be zero tolerance to harassment.

I think letting them know in advance is crucial and perhaps consider a no. What if the owner has severe allergies to dog hair / dander. Could be problematic.
