Answers: Your request for information is a recipe for financial disaster.

First.. you're asking total strangers, (whose qualifications and motives can never be known), where on earth to invest your money... Good luck with that.

Next.. buying shares because they've gone done deeply, can be similar to catching a falling knife.

Next.. Buying low priced stock (1p-400p) is the #1 later place a beginner should be.

Take a year or more and swot investing. Otherwise what you're doing is worse than gambling.
Don't know exactly what your share price would be on the London Exchange, but you enjoy one very nice stock surrounded by Unilever ( UN )... especially if this recession talk keep up. The nitty-gritty pharmaceutical staples seem to hold their own contained by tough times. ( up about 20% within each of the closing two years...may be slightly less ahead, but still decent)
Good luck, Guvna.

Answers: In the USA, the Security and Exchange Commision (SEC) says:

----
The residence “penny stock” generally refers to low-priced (below $5), speculative securities of particularly small companies. While penny stocks generally trade over-the-counter, such as on the OTC Bulletin Board or contained by the Pink Sheets, they may also trade on securities exchanges, including foreign securities exchanges. In addition, penny stocks include the securities of faultless private companies with no influential trading market.

...

Penny stocks may trade infrequently, which scheme that it may be difficult to sell penny stock shares once you own them. Because it may be difficult to find quotations for dependable penny stocks, they may be impossible to accurately price. Investors in penny stocks should be prepared for the possibility that they may lose their in one piece investment.

My personal screener rule is not to buy stock unless they have

Market Capitalization > 500 million
stock price > 5.00
6 mo avg trading volume > 50000 shares/day.

How many times has the FTSE-100 fallen by 5% or more in a day?




Answers: Only twice as far as I'm aware. In order the top five falling days are:

19 October 1987 - 10.84%
11 Sept 2001 - 5.72%
4 January 2000 - 3.81%
10 August 2007 - 3.71%
24 March 2003 - 3.05%

Currently (1:39pm) the FTSE 100 is down 3.98% so that would put us in third place today - although it was over 5% a short while ago.
Why is 5% important? Strictly speaking if it falls by 10% in a day then that is described as a market crash..
