TL,DR: Like a bag of clementines, penny stocks are hit or miss
Penny Stock / Clementines
unproven and unlikely to be perfect products
carry risk of buying a bad bunch
amazing when perfectly ripe
purchased in bulk
Eatamology “Penny” stocks are cheap like a penny, although in reality they count anything trading for less than $1.00/share as a penny stock.

Buying a penny stock is similar to gambling, as the stocks carry extremely high amounts of risk since they represent companies that may not be profitable, and may not be earning revenue either. The price of a penny stocks exemplifies the opposite of scarcity, which we can call abundance. There are an abundance of shares available relative to demand. At this juncture where the company has issued a lot of stock but few people are interested in buying, prices are low.
Where to Find Due to the level of risk, penny stocks will not show up in standard Mutual Funds or ETFs and are not suitable for unsophisticated investors.
Example Ingredients: Rolls Royce, Nokia, Bit Digital
