Bear Market, Bull Market, or Dead-Cat Bounce: Why It Hardly Affects Penny Stocks
For the past eight weeks, I've been delving into articles about current market conditions. Are we in a bull market, or heading into a bear market? Is the recent rally merely a dead-cat bounce?"a brief recovery in a declining trend?
In investing, there's an old saying: even a dead cat will bounce if dropped from a sufficient height. But for penny stock investors like us, does it really matter?
Recently, stocks surged in Japan due to growth in manufacturing and exports, boosting markets across Asia. Strong earnings from key companies also gave hope to penny stock investors that interest rate hikes might not harm profits. An economist referred to the recent sell-off as "just turbulence," and indeed, turbulence persists as U.S. stocks traded flat to lower amid rising oil prices and discouraging economic data.
So, is the market heading up or down? In general, the S&P index is up just 0.3% for the year, the Dow by 3.4%, and the NASDAQ is down 2.9%. Not exactly encouraging figures.
However, for penny stock investors, the market's roller-coaster ride is typical. Penny stocks are inherently volatile and unpredictable. While they may thrive when the market is positive, they typically operate independently. This is because few investors explore penny stocks?"either due to unwillingness or the inability to do the extensive research required to predict their behavior.
By nature, determining the appropriate trading price for penny stocks is challenging, and traditional financial ratios often fall short. Large daily percentage shifts are common in this world.
So, whether it's a bull, bear, or cat market, it's just another day for penny stock investors. The work is exciting yet demanding. Of the 14,000 public companies in the U.S., about 3,300 are penny stocks traded on the OTC Bulletin Board of the NASDAQ.
These stocks have low visibility?"you likely haven't heard of their CEOs, and they usually lack institutional backing. Despite being speculative, the more promising ones have targeted business plans and strong niche market positions, flying under Wall Street's radar.
So, what should you do in such an unpredictable market? Keep applying the principles you've always used in your search for that untapped penny stock gem, and embrace the volatility.
