The great thing is, once you understand this market, half the battle is over and you are on your way to building your trading account.

There is NO other market that we know of that offers so many opportunities EVERY DAY.

Let’s get to what is important. How does this market work and what do you need to do to make money in it.

Let’s start with a general question “Why do stocks go up?”

If you ask 100 people this question, most will tell you it has to do with the quality of the company, technical analysis, fundamental analysis, earnings or news.

The truth is they would be wrong.

Stocks go up because there is more buying than selling. PERIOD.

Those other answers may be contributing factors to why people buy stocks but are not the reason stocks go up.

The reason I point this out is because EVERY DAY penny stocks that are not high quality companies, have horrible charts, no financials to speak of, and boring news make HUGE runs.

You need to get comfortable with the fact that when it comes to penny stocks and making a profit, company quality has nothing to do with it.

This leads us back to the question “what drives penny stocks and how do I find them” and the answer is ……………

PAID EXPOSURE

There are over 63,000 public companies around the world all looking to attract shareholders so getting the word out is necessary to get the attention of the investing community.

Because penny stock companies do not receive the traditional coverage of major media or analysts like their big brothers do, if they want to get their story out or keep investors informed, they have to pay for it.

There is nothing illegal or unethical about this. Every day you see the fortune 500 companies listed on the NYSE or AMEX pay for all types of investor and public relations campaigns using ads on TV, radio, trade newsletters and journals, newspapers, and social media.

These advertisements are also known as investor relations (IR) campaigns and are designed to generate positive exposure to the investing community of the company.

When you see a penny stock making a BIG price gain, and it seems to come out of no where, it didn’t, the move can almost always be traced back to one of these exposure programs.

This is critical. These advertising campaigns are what drive investors to penny stocks and are the key to you putting money in your pocket.

Here is how it works.

The advertising creates exposure. At this point it is a numbers game. Because hundreds of thousands up to millions of people see the story some will like it and buy the stock.

Traders who understand this market will jump in as soon as they see a new campaign just because they know this is where the fun usually starts.

This usually creates a spike in volume and price. Now the stock ends up on market scans used by traders who are looking for what is hot for the day.

Some of these traders will jump in creating even more volume on the buy side potentially sending the stock even higher. At this point there is such a buzz going on that that it gets picked up on message boards and the many chat rooms. As more people see whats going on they want to get a piece of the action while it is still hot. This frenzy can last anywhere from hours to weeks depending on the length of the advertising campaign and how exciting the story appears. (notice I say appears) This happens day in and day out in this market. It is where the BIG money can be made.

If you have any doubt about this do your own research. Go to pinksheets.com or otcbb.com and check out every press release issued that day. Then check the volume and price, you will notice that most of the stocks that issue news will not even budge. They may come out with the best news ever but because there are SO many companies there is no way they will get noticed on their own.

Every CEO says to himself “This is the best news ever. Investors are going to see it and flock to our company and our stock, just you wait and see” When the market opens and there is no change in his stock reality sets in and he knows next time if he wants people to see his story and his great news he has no choice but to get proactive and pay for the exposure.

If you’re a trader you should be happy about this. Now you know exactly what stocks to be watching. Not those that are coming out with news but those advertising. You will then be right where the action is that day.

It is these stocks by the way that we specialize in telling you about.

GOT IT???

OK, now that you know the TRUTH about this market here are a few things to keep in mind and strategies that when used will help you cut your losses and book more profits.

The number one rule is to remember that the penny stock market is like the Wild Wild West. There is risk around every corner. Assume everything you read or hear about EVERY penny stock is a half truth at best.

Do not fall in love with these companies. Trade them to make money. If they go up, sell them at a profit. If they go down sell them quickly for a small loss and get ready for the net one.

Your focus needs to become “do I think this stock is exciting enough that OTHERS will go out and buy it when they hear or read about it”.

See, if OTHERS go out and buy it after you, and there is more buying than selling, the stock price heads higher allowing you to sell at a profit.

To you, these stocks should just be four letters (the symbol) and a number (the price). You should not get emotionally attached to them. Let the other guy fall in love with them. He is the guy who is going to keep buying it so you can sell it to him at a profit.

Always book your profits early when in a position to do so.
