i currently have 17.
6 i'm long for life in and simply don't trade. i'm in these for the dividend more than their price. i'm about even lifetime before facotring in the dividends: - FSNGX mutual fund - BMY - ORCL - HMC - FITB - V I also have a few 'bad choices' that i simply don't feel its even woth it to sell, so they sit there, down 60-80% lol. if these ever rebound to something worth selling, i'll consider it. until then, they sit there collecting dust. -SNEN -IMPM.pk -GCOM -FLEX -JCG The remaining ones are the ones i trade and play with -SIRI in at .09. took profits and ran on all but 1000 shares last week when it spiked 70's. Likely won't be getting back into this one for a while - IFSL.pk - in at .0035 @30,000. waiting for this to hit 5 cents - QASP.pk sold 15 shares of visa today to pick up a solid 45k share position here at .021. - ABK - still chasing the dreams on this one. it spikes all the time and dips all the time. was an $80 stock before the crash. i have a solid just shy of 2k shares in it ~$2. cost averaged it down a bunch of times. holding and hoping on this one. CTIC - in at 1.81. novemeber is supposed to be a drug release that everyones been waiting for. should see some solid movement then. SPNG - in at .07.... only because i bought 10k more at .11. my first 5000 was in at .006. ha! should've bought more up front. right now, my #1 money maker behind FITB (got in around $2 and rode it up to $10)

I don't know about you guys, but I find it more thrilling to go after the penney stocks based on sheer amount (1000's of shares vs ~100's). I have a shit ton of HIG when I was buying ESP, but averaged at $92 bucks a share I'll be holding out for a while. I should have sold when I left there May '07 it went into the 100's.
Oh well. |

penny stocks are fun and unpredictable.
every stock has it's purpose though. growth, dividends, speculation, etc. it's best to have a balance of all of them.

playing pennies is fun. nothing better than a .001 gain earning you $100 for the day
I think i have a pretty good mix. i got my holds with the dividends that are solid companies i got my play pinks i got some bad choices.... in the end, i'm up more than i thought i would be this year.
