Disadvantages of Penny Stocks
1. High Risk: Penny Stocks are inherently risky investments. These stocks are considered to be high-risk investments due to their low liquidity, speculative nature, and potential for fraud.
2. Lack of Transparency: Companies issuing penny stocks may not provide as much financial information or transparency as larger, publicly traded companies, making it difficult to evaluate their risk and potential.
3. Potential for Losses: The high volatility of penny stocks can result in significant losses if their prices decline rapidly.
4. Market Manipulation: Some Penny Stocks can be manipulated by unscrupulous individuals or groups, leading to fraud. This manipulation can lead to fraudulent activities, such as pump-and-dump schemes, where stock prices are artificially inflated and then sold off at a profit, leaving unsuspecting investors with losses.
5. Regulatory Challenges: Penny Stocks are closely monitored by regulatory authorities, including the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), to prevent fraud and protect investors. This regulatory scrutiny can sometimes result in trading halts or restrictions, affecting market access.
