Default 1c-4c Penny Stock PHENOMENON

Is it just me or are we in a very funny period where only 1-4c Penny Stocks run?

I am so sick and tired of the market selling good fundamentally undervalued companies which release good news and results,

Yet will happily run to crazy levels penny stocks

Here are the penny stocks I have observed running like crazy, some actually do have fundamentals and thus a re-rating was warranted, but in most cases the re-rating was unreasonable or not warranted in the first place.



FDL ran from 1c - 15c (Iron Ore target near FMG)

HAO ran from 3c - 40c (Acquired Iron ore grounds)

GDA ran from 1.5c - 6c (Placement/SPP + Iron Ore projects)

GNL gapped up from 3c - 8.5c (Iron Ore projects)

EGO ran from 0.7c - 6c (few months back based on leverage to oil well)

BMO ran from 2c - 6c (Gold targets)

RSL ran from 1.5c - 3.5c (Uranium grounds)

ORO ran from 2c - 4c (Nickel?? Gold?? Not sure)

RCH ran from 0.6c - 5c (Not sure ?????)

RAU ran from 2c - 28c (rerating based on Cu/Au deposits)



So the big question is what will be next?

The clear theme I see here is a cheap mkt cap/price ie 1c-3c with the bigger gains being seen in the Fe Iron ore specs

I think this is a case of people thinking that the lower the price a stock is, the lower its market cap is.

It seems indicative of a red hot spec sector, with no one actually having any clue about valuations or even shares, just wanting to make money by following the crowd!

I think a lot of this pump and dump behaviour can be facilitated on certain forums and i will watch some of them and post in this thread what their next 'big stock' is...

watch this space, but remember that most of these stocks have no real fundamental basis for their moves


In order to avoid too much ramping can we at least try and provide some evidence ... even if there is none

The market is a fickle beast - I wouldn't bother trying to guess. You can narrow it down, for instance, Iron Ore is still the way to go but beyond that, the herd is chaotic and often irrational.

I bought some MPJ a little while ago on the basis that it was a relatively low risk penny dreadful since the SP is underwritten by its shareholdings in other listed miners and its cash balance. They've also got some pretty low key exploration of their own tenements going on. I figure it's this that will move the SP as you can essentially buy their own tenements for free right now.

I highly doubt the HC boys that try to ride ramps to financial freedom do very well. Sure, individually they occasionally make a killing in very short order, but they tend to also be the ones left without a chair when the music stops. I'd say its likely that their style of trading means that a single loss is likely to wipe out several months worth of gains, if not more.

It is certainly a very strange trend, not that I'm complaining because these stocks are my world, its where I spend most of my research time.

What usually happens is an announcement kicks the run off by drawing attention to the company and then its on for young and old.

It seems that everyday now, there is 1 or two stocks that rise 50% plus on momentum from a previous announcement.

The hard part is indentifying the stocks that are going to surge, have done very well in the early part of the year on both GDA,RSL before they ran and have also done well trading FDL many time, although not getting in before the iron ore announcement.

As a heavy trader in the spec sector you start to get a feel for companies that are going to run, it maybe something as simple as market sector followed by forum chatter, a rise in trading volume, or a rise followed by consolidation then sparked by upcoming news.

For anyone interested check out PRE and EXM both spec gold plays with results due, that could significantly move the shareprice, both have run hard before and are likely to rise again on any good news, but remember they are spec plays so DYOR.

Need go no further than some of the threads on ASF, current that I believe will double or more soon, JRV (2cents) and RNG (3.8cents) A bit higher in price is SRI 12 cents. Dont just look at the last couple of posts, read over the whole thread, in each case, and you will get a good idea of the real value and potential

My question to the experience traders like YT and Mick, how you find and pickup these penny stock before it runs?

As I work full time and find it difficult to find these penny stock. Is any software or any broker that specialize in these penny stock that I can subscribe??

You can't pick it.

It has always been, the more anticipated the news, the more likely it will get sold down. The lower the profile, the more it runs.

Reason is that lower profile stocks are cheaper to create a breakout as it is not being actively traded. So some people have caught on to the fact that daytraders are happy to mark the price up for them. All they have to do is throw in a lot of money to take out the supply by surprise. Then make lots of posts on HC.

People do not like to hold stock in a volatile market so they look for these types of stock, and I estimate a large majority of them are following internet message boards for the latest breakouts.

Out of interest, what was the date of the announcement in relation to the chart you posted? (Just to correlate time and upward move...)

Hiya Sam, your answer gives a bit more cred to the saying "Buy the rumour, sell the fact"...
Price moves up in September... Announcement posted 4th November...
Moral of the story is; Have lots of friends in the know!
Sorry about reposting a chart but wanted to show a point...

Sounds a little bit like the I.T. boom (and then the eventual bust) in the late 90s, doesn't it?

I agree. People do not want to hold small or mid caps now as they have never really recovered after August falls. So if you want to own a stock longer than 5 mins it needs to be a blue chip. Othwerwise day trade, the longer term spec market finished though we hope for gold stocks to buck the trend soon.

I've also noticed, by some conversations on the place we are discussing, that if a share is priced at 1c, and another is priced at 10c, apparently the 1c is a better stock and more likely to "go off".. It seems the number of shares on issue aren't even considered.. wtf? surely people know better?
