It's incredible news for lithium produced in the US and lithium recycling.
Hope so. Is there an environmentally friendly way to do it? I honestly don't know.
I opened up one on Friday and tried to buy when it was under $3. Same issue -- "on hold" -- even today. It will let me buy other stocks like AMC, BB, NOK, but not ABML, BRLL, BMIX, OZSC.Cheetah01 said:Tried to set up a TD Ameritrade account to buy ABML yesterday. They have my funds "on-hold".

I'm new to 'penny' stocks.
How many shares to buy? 1000? 10,000?
(I suppose it's the same as everything else...)

That seems way too high for the level of risk. I've never seen any financial person recommend anything close to that.AggieBill005 said:
I feel like there is no one good answer for this. I've read no more than 20% of your portfolio should be in pennies, and have also seen the more conservative 5%.
I'm new as well and dont have ANY speculative holdings in my primary portfolio - but we also use a financial outfit that prioritizes dividend paying stocks (but I digress).
So right now, I only have 3 speculative stocks and I have $2500 in each. That is about as much as I am comfortable losing in any one stock. And if I lose all 3, it hurts but I could recover in 12-18 months. I WISH I could double it - if any of them hit, then I'd get twice the reward.
From reading others, I see some folks have a broader portfolio that they put 250-500 bucks in each. But then there are more stocks for you to keep up with. And I'm not trader.
Hope that helps.
I'll see if I can find the source again. Completely agree. Even 5% seems high to me - in a 500k portfolio, thats 25k in penny stocks? Maybe its on target but a nice nod to the role that "personal risk and exposure" plays a role.YouBet said:That seems way too high for the level of risk.

I think another reason why they dont recommend penny stocks is because they arent allowed by their firms to invest in them and cant put your money in penny stocks, therefore they cant make any money off you.Thriller said:
I think there's a slightly bigger reason for a lot of CFPs recommending against penny stocks.
Penny stocks aren't held to the same reporting requirements as their larger cousins. Simply put, it's gambling (not always a bad thing, and can be quite lucrative) without knowing all the players and/or rules of the game.
The example my CFP gave me was like playing a game of blackjack where the dealer didn't have to show his up-card. You are either making a guess on whether to play (invest in OTC stocks), hit (buy) or stand (hold) without information required for other equity assets. Add to that the uncertainty of hearing someone say "I *think* the dealer has a facecard" and you can see how the risk grows when people don't have first-hand knowledge of the asset.
Not saying it's a bad idea at all, but a CFP is going to recommend against because of the risk, when compared with other assets. That's why I think many are taking a good approach on this thread by only investing money they are willing to lose - same principle as gambling IMO.
