Bad News for Stock Investors

Editor’s Note: Somewhere between researching stock market data and climbing into a floatplane bound for parts unknown, former Oxford Club Editorial Director Andy Snyder took some time to catch up with us.

We like to keep close tabs on Andy (as close as we can anyway). Because as you’ll read in his essay below, he’s usually on the trail of something that can make readers a great deal of money.

From the Desk of Andy Snyder – Throughout the last 20 years, penny stocks have been some of the hottest investments on Wall Street.

The web is filled with stories of investors who turned a few thousand bucks into a few million.

Stocks like Monster Beverage that soared more than 100,000%…

Quality Systems went from seeing its shares trade for less than a buck to more than $45 apiece…

And General Growth Properties went from $0.55 each to more than $31.

Investors who smartly diversified their wealth and added a healthy mix of penny stocks to their portfolios grew rich.

But now the fine folks inside the nanny state want to protect you from yourself.

And in the process they want to keep you from getting flat-out filthy rich.

Banned

Take the news from Merrill Lynch (Bank of America’s brokerage arm)… Earlier this month it made the decision to no longer allow its advisors to sell penny stocks without a regulatory review.

Just as it curbed folks from buying bitcoin (oops), the brokerage house will flat-out ban the sale of the stock market’s “riskiest” stocks.

I get the intent. I really do.

There are certainly some shady stocks out there – especially in the over-the-counter market that Merrill Lynch is targeting.

But the company has gone too far.

It’s joined the growing cabal of nanny state companies that think they know better than you do.

They’re stealing your freedom and stealing your opportunity to make money.

Takes One to Know One

Here’s our levelheaded – and yet controversial – take on the news.

We say if your broker can’t determine the difference between a tiny company with big potential and a tiny company that’s committing fraud, don’t ban penny stocks… ban the bozo who doesn’t know what he’s doing.

It’s just like what I recently told the crowd of your fellow Members when I took the stage at The Oxford Club’s latest Private Wealth Seminar…

When done right, penny stocks allow you to invest less… and make more.

But the folks at Merrill think you’re an idiot (we say it takes one to know one), and the SEC is convinced it needs to protect you from yourself.

And yet history is riddled with example after example of where this sort of protectionary logic has failed.

It’s why I’ll continue to say what I’ve always said. You’re on your own.

And when it comes to penny stocks, that’s a good thing.

That’s because there are so many ways to play them. We use our proven Tripwire strategy.

Others we know take full advantage of the notorious “pump and dump” schemes and use the puffery to score big profits.

And others still trade penny stocks as if they are blue chip value plays.

When done right… they all work.

Like I said at the top, many millionaires have been spawned thanks to penny stock profits.

But if the powers on Wall Street get their way, you won’t be allowed to invest in them.

You’ll be forced to follow their “mainstream” strategy… their path to high fees and lackluster annual returns.

It’s the biggest lie on Wall Street. Penny stocks aren’t a scam.

Done well, they’re a recipe for success.

Be well,

Andy

P.S. I recently revealed – for the first time ever – my personal secret to penny stock success. Now I’m inviting just a few folks to join me as I uncover the next fast-moving profit opportunities. The potential to get rich is huge. But I don’t want this strategy getting out… especially with the sort of news like we just got from Bank of America. That means if you want in, you’ll have to sign a non-disclosure agreement. Click here for the full details.
