Did you know that Nike, Wal-Mart, and Microsoft all started out as Penny Stocks?

That's right, some of the biggest, and most expensive companies to buy stocks in today started off a penny stocks.

Many of these companies were valued extremely low at the end of the last major downturn in 1988 and are now worth countless millions of dollars.

The recent global downturn has left many stocks at unbeatable prices which will never be repeated.

The oracle of Omaha, Mr Warren Buffet, has spoken about the current state of the market as being undervalued and has been purchasing stock in many companies over the past few months.

This man is among the wealthiest men alive and started his investing career investing in penny stocks! :-)

I have been trading for a year now and have made a 65% capital gain in just 10 months. Trading in penny stocks works.

At such low prices and small amounts of capital investment I found that investing in penny stocks meant I could trade the markets and still sleep at night without the worry of a large portfolio of over-priced, expensive stocks.

We all know that our failing health system and pensioner payouts are going to become a thing of the past in a few decades to come. The government is financially stretched enough as it is.

Without some sort of investing knowledge the uninformed will be left out in the cold and anyone unable to support themselves will simply have nowhere to go.

Are you prepared to move away from the pain of the financial crisis and invest for your retirement or will you watch from the sidelines and miss out?
