IT ITECH PENNY STOCK LEAGUE

Penny stocks, also known as cent stocks in some countries, are common shares of small public companies that trade at low prices per share. In the United States, the SEC defines a penny stock as one that trades below $5 per share. Such stocks can be highly volatile and present a high risk for investors, who are often lured by the hope of large and quick profits. Penny stocks in the USA are often traded over-the-counter on the OTC Bulletin Board, or Pink Sheets. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)


Goal:  Is to learn how to buy and sell publicly traded stock,  research and choose emerging technologies that may be the next Apple, MS or Google.
Action Plan: 
1.  Join the IT ITech League.
2.  We are given $100,000 dollars to invest in emerging technology companies that we think will do well.
3.  Study and follow our predictions future success.
