Chapter 5: Making Wise Penny Stock Choices - Share Structure

This is just how the shares of the stock are distributed throughout the share holders. Now, you may not realize why this is important, until it turns around and hits you. Consider this scenario.
You decide that the penny stock looks good to purchase. So, you go ahead and purchase a good amount of it. It turns out that there are millions of shares of that stock being held by one share holder in an off shore account.

Now, you decide that you would like to turn around and share your stocks. The problem is that the stock prices have rises to the level that makes them too costly with too much risk involved. In the end, you realize that you are stuck with a stock that is not selling. You simply are unlikely to be able to sell it for a profit.

When you take the share structure into account, you are sure to see the benefits that are offered or the risks that play into the stock. You should be able to easily find this information out as well.
