If you are an active share market investor in India, chances are there that at least at some point of time in your share/trading career you would have coaxed yourself into buying a stock that is trading at a very low price, say Rs. 10 or Rs. 20?
The decision of buying such a low stock also called “penny stocks“ would definitely not crop after a rational or judicious analysis of share market, rather would arise from an emotional perspective such as something like-” The stock is any way trading so low, how long can it go from here”?
“Act Like an Investor, Not a Trader”
While dealing with penny stocks it is important to think for investment for a longer term and not solely focusing on short-term profits. This is perhaps the very reason why stock market gurus never look at the market price of stocks in insolation.
The trading price could be misleading as it reflects nothing about company’s underlying business-whether it’s good or bad?
