Penny Stock Guide

Is there risk involved for trading pennystock with a broker??

Is there a risk to trading or holding penny stocks (ottc bb) in a brokerage account? For example: If one of the penny stocks in my portofolio gets delisted or goes bankrupt etc. does this involve additional cost? My broker is etrade!
what i mean is this: lets say i buy and hold a penny stock for a few months in my portofolio with my etrade broker account. If this pennystock compoany goes out of business and it loses all value of course. i lose the investment. but are there additional costs from m y broker because of the stock going bankrupt or losing all value?

Never put money into penny stocks, many will never go up in value again, avoid them at all costs. But if you want if make returns with very little money stock options are the way to go. For example on the 8th I bought 1 Jun 60 call option for $0.45, after commission it cost me $64.95. And today I sold if for $1.40, after commission I received about $120.00. The profit was small, but to make it in eight days isn’t half bad.
