What are Penny Stocks?
Penny stocks are stocks that trade at very low prices normally below 50 rupees. They have low market capitalization and mostly are illiquid. Penny stocks are lesser-known to the larger investing public. I Investors remain away from them because the information regarding their fundamentals and businesses is either not reliable or not available. However, penny stocks are known for generating multi-bagger returns within a few trading sessions.Penny Stocks are Called Penny Stocks for a Reason!
Penny stocks trade at such low rates for a reason because most of the traders buying penny stocks don’t even care about them and look to exit sooner or later once they have given decent returns. Penny stocks in India often don’t comply with exchange regulations. They are not even transparent in their reporting.It is only when there is some news or some turnaround stories on penny stocks, that they move. The speculation leads to an increase in trading volumes and prices soar. But very few of them turn out to be true or genuinely strong on a fundamental basis. Any negative news causes the price to turn south.List of Best Penny Stocks to Buy now in India

Things to keep in mind while buying penny stocks
The risk that a penny stock will go bust is equally high. The company can suddenly shut down or there can be very little probability of giving multi-bagger returns. The total capital that deserves to be invested in penny stocks should not be more than 2 to 3 percent of a person’s portfolio value.Investing in penny stocks is mostly speculative. First of all, investors should avoid investing in them and if they buy any it should be treated as buying a lottery. You should never become emotionally attached to them in the hope of some good news.Investors should also never follow a buy and hold approach even if they have got good returns recently. Because over a period of time neither they are able to generate value for shareholders nor they follow a transparent reporting system. Investors should also research extensively about the stock and the news going on in the public domain and not become the victim of operators’ conspiracy, who later offload their holdings after manipulating the price.The transaction cost for some penny stocks is also higher and on some the brokerage is charged on a per-share basis. Similarly when stocks trade at a very low price, the spread between the bid and ask price also turn out to be significant in terms of percentage.The stocks mentioned in the watchlist have been determined after keeping in mind news, speculation, trend in their price chart, and a few fundamental factors such as debt to equity ratio and cashflows.But this information will vary on a day to day basis depending on the newsflow and an investor should make some relevant background checks in his capacity before investing in these stocks.Best penny stocks in India
