Over the past five years we’ve been writing about disruptive technologies – or in the case of marijuana, disruptive investment themes – we’ve moved away from covering over-the-counter (OTC) companies which are commonly referred to as “penny stocks.” To be clear, the one and only reason we ever “covered” OTC stocks was to warn investors […]
Last week we wrote an article about a cannabis penny stock we came across that actually had some signs of legitimacy. Would we invest in it? Absolutely not, but people who are dying to invest in cannabis penny stocks because they “think they’re cheap” can. Most retail investors make the mistake of thinking that a stock […]
Ever since we first opened Nanalyze, we’ve been emphatic about exposing retail investors to the dangers of over-the-counter (OTC) stocks. Unfortunately the excitement over many emerging technologies means that OTC companies will inevitably sprout up claiming to be your next path to riches. It’s not just emerging technologies, but really any theme that’s generating a […]
We first started the Nanalyze forums 12 years ago because nanotechnology sounded like one of the most exciting technologies we could imagine and we wanted to figure out how to make money from it. Along the way we learned many things about investing, technology, and over-the-counter (OTC) stocks or as they are more often called, penny stocks. […]
One of the biggest red flags for retail investors should be any company that trades as an “over-the-counter” (OTC) stock because 99% of the time you will lose your money investing in OTC stocks. As a trader, you might make money in OTC stocks, but we’re investors not speculators. We lean towards the Ron Popeil method which is to “set […]
With very few publicly traded drone stocks available for investors, we knew it would just be a matter of time before an over-the-counter (OTC) company stepped into the drone space. As we’ve highlighted before, investing in OTC companies is probably the easiest way to lose your money aside from leaving it in a bundle on […]
We’ve written quite a few articles on why we think it’s a bad idea to invest in any over-the-counter stock. You won’t be finding the next Tesla or Apple on the OTC market, but you will find many companies with the “next big thing” that never comes to fruition. The track record of these OTC […]
Everybody has advice for you on how to make money investing in stocks. There’s always that hot stock tip you hear about that promises you’ll make a fortune in the next Microsoft. But how come nobody ever tells you how to lose money in stocks? What if we could tell you a sure-fire way to […]
We like to caution technology investors against investing in over-the-counter (OTC) companies because a majority of the time you will lose your money in the long run. Speculators can make money but investors will almost always be left holding the bag. We don’t write about OTC companies because we have financial incentives to do so. […]
We’ve covered plenty of over-the-counter (OTC) companies in the past and have pointed out many red flags for investors to consider. The fact is that a majority of OTC companies fail and this is not due to some “short conspiracy” but rather the constant stream of big promises, usually in the form of press releases, […]
