lots of really great companies became penny stocks in this bear... thats the fallacy for those that say the run is almost over because the "crap" aka pennies are running Lots of software are penny stocks and many under 5$... the majority now

<<I used to play pennies during that last bull>> Me too...and I swore after the bull, I would never touch a penny stock again...only quality......how little did I know that there would be so many quality companies that became penny stocks, or close to it <ggg>.... Seriously though....I don't trade penny stocks for the most part.....when I did my DD on HQNT I found a real company, profitable, no debt, low float, very low valuation, with a couple of products fixing to be introduced that after cgecking them out...I almost started drooling....yep, explosive growth could be possible...so I bought some for the hell of it in the .50's and .30 what happens? They introduce these new products....sales explode and each month their projected sales are blown away....and now we have a $1.50+ stock that is still undervalued if they see the kind of growth that is right there for the taking.....anyway, Yep it was a penny stock, but I only bought because I liked what I saw, and still do......I look at alot of pennies...mainly just look, because after doing dd, you see there really isnt much of anything there worth investing in, and if I dont see a future for the company, I wont buy for other reasons...let all the little POS's run higher....they wont get my money regardless unless thorough DD tells me to buy.....sometimes you find a diamond in the rough when looking thru the junk heap......HQNT was a steal at .30, and may still be a steal at $2 if their sales continue as they are, and they are just getting started, so I see plenty of room for plenty of sales....funny thing about 2 of their products...they really didnt have to sell it too much.....once a few Hospitals and Dr's got them, the products pretty much sold themselves....every hospital and dr that see's these products or hears about them, wants them....and there are an awful lot of hospitals and dr's out there.......Plus I like the fact that it is not only profitable, but a portion of their profit goes to charity...tells you alot about management...additionally the very low float is controlled mostly by insiders...and heck, they just announced they feel HQNT is very undervalued and their officers will be buying stock on the open market....anyway, I found alot of positives in this little known gem...lets hope it keeps going higher and doesnt go back to .30cents <ggg>....Also ATML making a little noise....I bought a bunch under $1, but should have bought alot more, and still might as I think she will be much higher down the road...the trick is....will we see a dip and better buying OPP, or do we grab certain things now, as they may not head much lower....for instance....I want more atml and extr.....I want lower prices, but also think current pricing is pretty good, so do you wait for lower prices, only to never get them and have to buy higher, or go ahead and buy.....I did add some atml ata tad under $2...been waiting and waiting for it to drop to $1, but it kept running higher...want extr at $2.50, but $4 doesnt sound too bad.......anyway...good luck to you.....
