Penny
Stock |
A penny stock is
simply defined as a share that trades below $5. Young
companies in the process of building their operations
or small capitalization companies looking to expand
their businesses usually issue these shares. Since these
companies are not fully established, they have room
to expand. These corporations tend to post faster sales
and profit growth then bigger corporations. For the
aggressive investor looking for high stock returns,
a penny stock is a viable venue.
A penny stock investment can be summed up as being
quite risky and rewarding. You can lose a sizeable
amount or get returns many times over your initial
investment. To boost your chances of finding a good
penny stock, focus on companies that are growing sales,
have an efficient business model and are managed by
an aggressive executive team.

E-Trade buying Harrisdirect for $700M |
NEW YORK (MarketWatch) --
E-Trade Financial Corp. shares rallied Monday after
the company said it would buy brokerage Harrisdirect
from BMO Financial Group for $700 million cash.
The move marks the latest in a consolidation
among brokerage firms that saw Ameritrade set plans
to buy TD Waterhouse in June.
"E-Trade is reacting to [its] failed
bid for Ameritrade by acquiring an alternative target,"
Fox-Pitt Kelton analyst David Trone said in a note
to clients Monday.
Trone said mergers in the industry may
not be over, and suggested that Ameritrade may one
day attempt to take over E-Trade.
