You can't delegate this to anyone. You've got to do it. Truth is, nobody can watch over your money like you can. (Farmers have a saying that the best fertilizer is the farmer's own shadow.) Strangely enough, when you make the commitment to watch every penny, the dollars start to add up quicker. If compound interest can make a single dollar bill grow into a million dollars...then it can also make a single penny grow into a million pennies... and that's ten thousand dollars. From a single penny Have you ever walked by a penny on the sidewalk and not picked it up because it was just a penny The truth is, that hidden beneath that penny is a pile of a million pennies. Pick up that penny and invest it right.

For the most part, the companies whose registration the SEC is moving to revoke have long since given up the ghost. Unfortunately, that sort of housekeeping will do little to eliminate penny stock schemes or protect the public.

Stock Investing Basics Which does not mean the SEC's efforts are insincere - only that they are insufficient. The Commission is hamstrung by a lack of resources and inadequate funding - despite political outcries over securities fraud and corporate scandals. It can declare war on penny stock fraud and fire the first shot by suspending delinquent filers, but does it have enough ammunition in its arsenal to finish the fight?

Stock Investing Software Fighting stock fraud makes for an appealing sound bite from politicians, but when it comes time to allocate funds to the SEC, Congress has proven to be quite penurious. And that, they should recognize, is just penny foolish.
