  • Two Important Things To Look For When Buying
    Penny Stocks

6
  • Buying penny stocks isnt the easiest thing to do
    in the world at least not if you want to be
    successful. Sure, you can go out and buy the
    latest penny stocks getting pumped like crazy.
    But, thats bound to end badly.

7
  • You could also buy penny stocks based on their
    narratives. This one is a gold producer and
    golds going up! That one is a rare earth miner,
    and we need those minerals for cell phones!

8
  • Sometimes buying the hot industry/product can
    work but it too will usually result in losing
    money. So then, what can we do to improve our
    chances of finding a good penny stock company?

9
  • First off, lets look at what not to do. Heres a
    look at what gold has done over the last five
    years

11
  • As many of you probably remember, gold spiked to
    all-time highs in 2011-2012. There was a major
    gold buying frenzy among institutional and retail
    investors alike. Even central banks were loading
    up on bullion.

12
  • Once the financial crisis stabilized and the US
    economy began to recover, gold prices fell to
    pre-crisis levels. And, theyve been hovering
    around 1,200 ever since. Heres the thing

13
  • Back during golds peak, there were countless
    penny stock companies claiming to be the next big
    gold miner. It seemed like every new company out
    there owned property which may contain a mother
    lode.

14
  • Funny thing is, many of these companies were
    doing nothing remotely related to gold mining
    before the price spike. Some of these companies
    were social media experts and others were
    selling non-stick cookware.

15
  • Basically, there was no reason to believe these
    companies could mine gold, even if their
    properties contained the precious metal. And, if
    you investing in any of these gold companies
    chances are you lost big.

16
  • So what do you look for when buying penny stocks?

17
  • Like most any other type of investing, you need
    to do your research before buying penny stocks.
    Fundamental analysis is equally important on
    small companies as it is on large ones.

18
  • You just need to shift your expectations to take
    into account the size and age of the company.
    For instance, a newer, smaller firm isnt likely
    to be very profitable if at all early on.

19
  • Thats especially true for a development stage
    company. By the same token, a small firm
    shouldnt have a big debt load either. Some debt
    is normal, but a ton of debt early on is
    certainly a red flag for a penny stock company.

20
  • Here are two things you should look for when
    researching penny stocks.

21
  • First off, its always a good idea to find a
    company with cash. A company that has
    raised/saved a fair amount of cash is usually
    well managed, and not a fly-by-night type firm.

22
  • Cash can be used to grow, expand, take on
    reasonable debt, withstand slow periods, etc.
    Its obviously a vital asset for a small company.

23
  • Typically, I like to see a reasonable amount of
    cash versus no debt, or a lot of cash versus
    moderate debt. The other thing to look for is a
    positive operating margin.

24
  • Operating margin is revenue minus cost of goods
    sold, minus expenses. Unlike profit margin,
    operating margin includes expenses such as admin
    and marketing.

25
  • After all, you cant run a business without those
    things, so why look at metrics which dont
    include them?

26
  • On the other hand, for a small business, paying
    attention to net profit is not that important.
    Taxes, interest, etc. just dont mean that much
    at this stage (unless were talking about a huge
    debt load, as I mentioned earlier).

27
  • Meanwhile, operating margin does a very good job
    of showing if the core business is producing good
    results. And, thats by far the most important
    thing to consider for a penny stock company.

28
  • By paying attention to cash and operating margin,
    you can go a long way towards finding penny
    stocks worth buying. It can also help you avoid
    the pitfalls of having the really bad penny
    stocks end up in your portfolio.

29
  • Investing in companies with a decent cash holding
    and positive operating margin will help direct
    you to the best-in-class penny stock companies.
