Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about penny stocks on TheDesperateTrader.

What are penny stocks?
Penny stocks are low-priced shares, commonly defined as trading under $5 (the SEC threshold). They are popular with day traders because a small price move is a large percentage move, but that same volatility, plus thinner liquidity, makes them higher risk than large-cap stocks.
What are the most active penny stocks today?
This page ranks penny stocks under $5 by dollar volume (price times shares traded) from the latest session, so it surfaces the ones with real liquidity and interest rather than dead tickers. It updates daily and each name links to its live chart.
Are penny stocks a good investment?
Penny stocks carry significant risk: low liquidity, wide spreads, high volatility and a higher rate of promotions and dilution. This page is a data tool, not a recommendation to buy any stock. Always do your own research and manage risk carefully. Nothing here is investment advice.
How do I catch penny stocks before they run?
The names that move usually spike on unusual volume first. Our free real-time scanner flags stocks trading well above their normal volume the moment it happens, across every U.S. stock, including penny stocks, with no 15-minute delay.

Low-priced stocks move fast. Get real-time unusual-volume alerts the moment they run, free.
