Learn to Invest in Microcaps, Micro Cap Stocks or Penny Stocks
Some Background Information
Penny Stock Investing is NOT for the Faint of Heart
After 40 years of speculating on microcap / penny stocks, I [Danny Deadlock] am working to reduce my holdings to a small percentage of my portfolio. During covid I made the decision to stop writing my investment newsletter and share my experience by turning MicroCap.com into an educational site. That has been a slow process in 2023 but will improve in 2024.
My investment portfolio now consists of blue chip stocks and real estate but I am hanging onto two of my microcap stocks (Medipharm Labs $0.07 and MOGO $2) in the hope they can still produce solid returns in 2024/25. I would like to wrap up my microcap investing with a couple big hits, but time will tell.
As I approach retirement age I don't want excessive risk. I have had enough of that since the 80's. Microcap stocks can produce exceptional gains but a lot has changed with them over the years. And to be very honest, I cannot stomach dealing with most of the people involved with these companies. There are obvious exceptions, but this industry is driven by greed and the large majority (especially the promoters, financiers and deal makers) think nothing of throwing someone under the bus if they can make a buck.
As someone that researched these companies full time, and wrote about them for 22 years, I have seen more than my share of liars and cheats. Because I had a large audience of microcap investors, they typically told me what they thought I wanted to hear. I had to spend a lot of my time trying to figure out who was lying or grossly exaggerating. More often than not they got rich by taking advantage of other people. This is a cutthroat business with a lot of the roots in Vancouver and Toronto.
