Penny Stocks

Penny stocks have always been something I wanted to dip my hand into. I have a background in finance and trading somewhat so I am aware of them and certainly know some of the base concepts of trading penny stocks, but I also know I am not even close to knowing the ins and outs necessary to make some real cash with them.

Penny stocks are something you prepare for like any other investment. Of course they aren't as highly publicized, nor do they have as many talking heads out there with advice on what the
hot penny stocks are. The reason is that these aren't exactly Dow Jones Industrial Average sized companies. There is a reason they are just penny stocks.

On the other hand...a move in a penny stock is one heck of a percentage gain when it does move. The smaller the value of the stock the higher the percentage is when it actually moves. Good and bad. That's why you better figure out what you are doing before you jump into the ring with them. I suggest a site like http://www.buypennystocks.com/. They give you all the background info not just how to invest in penny stocks, but they go much deeper and keep you ready to make a killing in the market with hot penny stocks to watch, great tips, and much more. If interested in dabbling in this lucrative investment market look no further and get stared there.

Should You Be Advertising on Facebook?

LEt's stick with Facebook today. One thing that a lot of business owners don't understand is their advertising. Most small business owners have a difficult time knowing exactly how to target their customers. They many times don't know their perfect marketplace to advertise. Instead they just start taking stabs in the dark to anyone that sounds like they have a good pitch and payoff. This rarely works.

Obviously the ad sellers are going to have their own interests at heart. Their pitch may be completely oblivious to your needs. Instead pitching general advertising ideas that don't fit your needs. They don't know your business so they can't be expected to have the best plan for you without you directing it a little right?

Then we have the grand old world of online advertising. More specifically social media, and Facebook advertising. You may have some sort of presence on Facebook, but why the hell are you even advertising on it? Does your business even benefit from advertising there if you really think about it? Are you just buying some ads shooting arrows with a blindfold on? Probably.

Maybe if you are a web based business that appeals to more than a few local segments like posting solar powered house numbers next to a page about solar energy sure. IS it really that targeted? Read?: "Is Facebook Advertising For You?".

Facebook's Preparation For The IPO

If you are a true Entrepreneur that wants to cash in big time and get a giant influx of cash to blow the doors open you likely are likely dream of an Initial Public Offering (IPO) one day. This isn't a sure thing by any stretch, and certainly requires a lot of work and goal setting to make sure that day comes.

Facebook is a pretty good example of what the right steps to take are for sure. So before you try to take your website all the way take a look at how Facebook got to be a trade commodity.
