The combination of highly acclaimed universities producing topnotch graduates and an abundance of natural resources has resulted in a growing number of young promising Canadian companies.  This in itself makes investing in Canadian penny stocks an attractive option.

Benefits of Penny Stocks
Penny stocks allow an investor to buy cheap stocks in companies still in their infancy. You are, to put it differently, banking on the companies becoming a success. Recognizing promising companies can be very profitable.

Unique conditions in Canada produce a number of these companies. Due to the quality of their universities and the wealth of natural resources, you might want to focus on companies dealing in new technologies or commodities.

Where to Buy Canadian Penny Stocks
Canadian penny stocks are traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange and the TSX Venture Exchange. You need to find a stock broker who deals on these exchanges; preferably a trustworthy broker with some expertise on the Canadian market, who can offer you valuable advice.

A small note, if you are not Canadian, remember that all trades will be in Canadian dollars. Keep the currency exchange rate in mind, and be aware that you are also running a currency risk.

Be Aware of the Risks
Buying penny stocks is exciting. You are scouting out new companies hoping to find the next one to make it big. It can, in fact, be addictive however so always make sure you do not risk what you cannot afford to lose and be sure to gain a solid understanding of penny stock investing through a trustworthy source like the buy penny stocks guide or by subscribing to a reputable newsletter. Penny stocks are volatile in nature. To manage the risk you need to perform adequate research and always remember to diversify your portfolio.

Just don’t be fooled into thinking you run little risk, you certainly do so be sure to take adequate measures to minimize it such as limiting your penny stocks to no more than 10% of you overall portfolio.
