Question

Suppose you have $1,000 to invest over a 10-year period. Explain under what circumstances you would buy penny stocks or junk bonds as an investment. In your answer, explain why an investment with greater risk, such as a penny stock, will likely have a lower market price but an uncertain rate of return.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

There is only one circumstance in which I (personal opinion) would be willing to place my money in penny stocks and that is If the money is extra money that is only an extremely small percent of my overall portfolio and I am ok loosing it completely. That is because penny stocks are stocks from new companies that basically have an idea and are just starting out. The rate of return can be massive on these stocks but they can also go bankrupt and you can loose all your money just as fast. Therefore, they are incredibly risky investments.
