You don't invest in penny stocks. At most, you gamble with them. But when in doubt, I prefer a casino. I get a lot more out of it.

It all depends on how you invest. Of course, many penny stocks are highly speculative and often just gambling - especially in the case of companies without a solid business model or sustainable prospects. But there are also exceptional cases such as Nel ASA, which currently falls under the penny stock definition, but is active in a promising market such as hydrogen and has genuine industrial partnerships (e.g. now with Samsung E&A).

Of course, the risk remains high, but there are also opportunities. Anyone investing here should be aware that in the long term it can either be a breakthrough or a total loss - so definitely not an investment for everyone. But just because a share is cheap does not automatically mean that it is worthless.

@TonyMelony1998 I think what you're saying is important. If the share cost €27 instead of €0.27, the whole community would jump on it again and buy themselves silly with it. Just because it's a penny stock doesn't mean it's a bad company.

@der_Don Completely wrong. I wouldn't touch the share even at 27 euros. It's about the market capitalization. And there's a good reason for that.

@AlexisMachine That's perfectly fine if it's not for you. But Samsung probably has a reason why they're putting $33 million into it. 🤷🏾‍♂️

@der_Don They are worth billions. They have a reason why they don't put in 330 million.

@Bluenuuk If you think so. You have several hydrogen stocks in your portfolio. Compare their performance with your Siemens Energy shares. But why not? *g*

@AlexisMachine You can't say that. You can see the market cap. They only want to take ownership of part of the company, apparently. Putting 33 million into such a company is equivalent to buying 10% of NVIDIA.
Because 33 million is just 10% of Nel in terms of market capitalization.
You don't always have to invest hundreds of millions if you are convinced by other companies.
33 million is still 33 million.

@der_Don 10% from Nvidia would indeed be a "mega deal". To compare that with 10% from Nel is quite daring.

@AlexisMachine You have to see this in correlation with each other. They bought 10% of the company with 33 million. You said why they don't invest 330 directly if they are convinced of it. But for what? They have now acquired a cheap 10% of a company with a future. What I'm saying at the end of the day is, even though Samsung is a billion dollar company, they don't always have to throw hundreds of millions at it if they are convinced of another company.
