It's ok to buy a penny stock at the low and sell at the high over and over again,
but only if you monitor the company financials each and every time that you buy-in and sell-out. Don't forget that you should diversify your stock portfolio by spreading your money between many good low-price stocks.
There will be times when you might want sell your stock for only a small profit or no profit at all. Bad news of almost any sort can drive a stocks price down very quickly. This is why it's important to follow your stocks very closely.
Here's a few reasons to sell your stock (for profit and/or protection) :
If your company announces a reverse stock split I would suggest that you get out and sit on the sidelines awhile before considering getting back in. Many companies do this to raise the price of the stock. They issue fewer shares that are worth more money per share, but the price usually falls.
Another thing to be on the lookout for is the possibility of your company raising cash through an equity offering. If the company needs more working capital it will issue more shares of stock to sell to the public. This will dilute the share value and most times the stock price falls.
If the company you own starts showing large increases of it's product inventory you should start thinking about selling your shares. This is a sure sign of coming trouble. When sales are down inventories go up. Big inventories also create additional expenses for the company. Get out!
If you hear news that your company is about to merge with another you could be in for some good news. This usually causes the stock price to spike-up when the news gets out. Once the merger is announced prices will fall back to the agreed merger price. Sell on good news for a profit.
If you find out that another company has made an offer to buy your company's stock at a lower price then get out. The company that made the offer must think that the lower price is the true value. If your company accepts then they must also think that it's only worth that much. Get out.
If you find out that a warrant is about to expire you should also get ready to sell your stock. Let me take a minute to briefly describe a warrant.
