There is no short cut to having success with penny stock investments. You have to know the benefits and the risks so that you might not be surprised when the deal goes wrong at some point or you invest too much than would be advisable. One of the risks with Penny Stocks is that there is always the manipulation of prices. Due to the fact that the average volume of shares that would be sold in a day are quite minimal. The prices could be altered especially if there is one prime investor who has bought many shares. They could promote the shares and once the other investors buy the shares due to the promotion, the particular investor sells all of the shares which leave the other investors at square one.
