How You Can Easily Invest With Just $100?

Many people with small investments often choose Penny stocks, also known as small cap stocks or OCT stocks. They are the ones that require very low investment (a penny stock would be $5 or less!) and in turn, give you good amounts of profit in a very short time period.

It attracts small investors as they get many stocks in return of a small amount and so, this excites them. Other than the high risk factor of losing all your money, it is also very difficult to sell the stocks back, that is, very low liquidity. Most people end up losing their money due to unprofessional research and lack of knowledge.
-High Yield Investment Programs (HYIPs) and Disadvantages
These types of programs also have stocks selling at around 5 dollars and are very easily accessible to public but the only difference between HYIPs and Penny stocks lies in the risk factor.
HYIPs are of two types:

2- Private HYIPs
However, these are often categorized under the fraudulent umbrella as they use a scheme known as Ponzi Scheme in which the people who’ve already invested, are paid by the new investors’ money.
