• Investing in Penny stocks give an opportunity to realise quick gains and lucrative money.
• Some small companies stood firm after financial instability in 2020 and 2021 due to Covid-19. 

Investing in penny stocks is an effective strategy for investors in present times. Investors purchase shares from smaller listed companies in large quantities by spending a few pounds to take advantage of low-priced stocks with high risk and return potential.

London Stock Exchange is one of the oldest exchanges in the world and there are many penny stocks listed which can give an opportunity to realise quick gains and the lucrative money.

The years 2020 and 2021 have been a roller coaster ride for small companies due to Covid-19 and restrictions, which pushed these firms in financial difficulties. But many companies stood firm and have been doing well. It is an indication that these companies are operating efficiently and have much potential to grow in future. The penny stocks have no trading floor like big exchanges, and the quotations are all carried out via electronic means. The penny stocks carrying much greater risks are the ones that are listed on publications like the Pink Sheets.
