Penny stocks are VERY risky. Are you ready to lose all the money you invest? If your answer is no then DO NOT start with penny stock, start with big name stocks, ie msft,ge,f,amzn,etc.

You got an honest answer.
Penny stocks are the riskiest investments out there. Just because a stock trades at a few pennies does not mean it can not drop. Go read some educational threads, you will quickly learn what a reverse split is.
Who ever told you to get into penny stocks to learn the market is a moron.
