Penny Stocks: Speculation 101 (and Safer Paths)
Educational content only — not financial advice. Canada-first. Independent of any brokerage.
Define the game
Penny stocks trade at low prices and often on alternative venues with limited disclosure.
Guardrails
Cap position sizes, avoid illiquid names, and never average down. Use limit orders and pre‑define exits.
Alternatives that scratch the itch
A small satellite sleeve of small‑cap ETFs or a rules‑based factor fund can offer upside with far less single‑name risk.
