Penny Stocks
Penny stocks are widely supposed to be risky investment instruments among investors because of the many drawbacks associated with them. One of those usually cited is that penny stocks hardly change hands due to lack of market support and so selling them might not be that easy for investors. Since a savvy investor wants to be sure about the liquidity of his potential investment, he thinks twice before buying penny stocks. This is precisely because many penny stocks with good growth potential also fail to draw due attention from the investors at large. But then, at the same time, that is also the reason why penny stock markets should be mined by investors for a likely treasure trove.

Let the RFID Cycle Begin – Intermec
It was when the largest company and Intermec's closest competitor, Symbol Technologies, that created the biggest challenge to Intermec's claims. Symbol Technologies not only refused to pay early in the process, but sued Intermec asking for Intermec to pay Symbol royalties for their many patents and Symbol wanted their own version of the standard.Symbol gave up their court fight and agrees to join Intermec's Rapid Start Licensing program. When your biggest competitor allows you to sign a controlling contract where Symbol has to pay royalties to Intermec every time Symbol sells a RFID hardware product. To me the Intermec/Symbol relationship Intermec has provided validation with a very high degree of control.

Penny Stock Investing
Stocks are generally categorized according to their market capitalization and price value by the market players. Accordingly, we hear terms like large cap stocks, medium cap stocks and small cap stocks. Shares with very small market cap (up to $100 million) and a maximum price value of up to $ 3 are called penny stocks in the market jargon. These are usually cited as the opposite of blue chip shares, which often carry a premium tag. Penny stocks are usually traded over the counter (OTC) by the brokers because they are unable to list on exchanges due to their stringent norms.
