With the gold stocks continuing to show strength it may be a good time to look at some junior positions in small cap gold stocks. If you are a penny stock investor I am sure you know that the gold mines are a dime a dozen, but also some of the most exciting stocks to own. Take Centerra Gold for example CG ,during the recession it traded as low as $1.27 per stock but is currently trading at $21.25. You don’t want to miss opportunities like that!.

PMI GOLD – PMV – PMI Gold made big news just a few weeks ago surging 60% in one day when they announced that they had found more gold than expected.

“TORONTO (SHfn) – PMI Gold (TSX: V.PMV, ) shares powered 60% higher to 93 cents on Friday after the gold junior announced a 270% increase in the NI 43-101 gold resources for its flagship Obotan Gold Project in Ghana, West Africa, to 1.22 million ounces Measured, 2.00 million ounces Indicated, and 1.29 million ounces Inferred. The company added that this paves the way for completion of a Pre-Feasibility Study on a gold mine development by the end of this year.”

Looking at their chart they have had a continuous rise (with a few spikes) over the last year.

B2GOLD – BTO  – While not quite a penny stock this one is trading around $3.85 and looks like a great investment for anyone who reads charts. Check the trend for the last few years and it is NOTHING but up with this stock going from .35 to $3.85 in a couple of years.

shares of Kilo Goldmines (TSX: V.KGL,) rose 19% to 19 cents as the micro cap explorer reported results from four diamond drill holes and four trenches on its Canal Prospect, Somituri Project in Democratic Republic of Congo, which included 7.71 grams per tonne (g/t) gold over 12.6 metres.

To the surprise of many penny stock investors the stock UCU or Ucore Rare metals is spiking, going from 50 cents to 56 cents in just a few hours. That is a one day gain of 13% so far.

Recent news from Market Watch suggests that Ucore was in the Chinese spotlight as they clamped down on the production of rare earth metals (essential to the production of electronics)

“NEW YORK, NY, Oct 12, 2011 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) — Demand for rare earth elements continues to skyrocket as the metals play an integral role in modern technology. It is estimated that China holds about 30 percent of the world’s rare earth deposits, but accounts for over 95 percent of global production. With prices for the elements surging higher, explorers worldwide are finally trying to cash in on this lucrative sector.

I have noticed a few of the penny stocks that I have been watching are making big moves. Now that the threat of the European banks is being addressed I think more investors are putting more confidence in penny stocks and taking some bigger gambles. I have seen GREAT returns in a lot of the investments I made on some large cap stocks but I will share that in my new Canadian high Dividend stocks section. Lets get to those hot penny stocks

TSX Penny Stocks to watch October and November 2011

Yellow Media

YLO – This stock has been soaring lately and I nearly picked it right at the bottom! If you don’t know Yellow Media here is a bit of information about them “is a media and marketing solutions company through its network of companies that include Yellow Pages Group (YPG), Trader Corporation (Trader) and Canpages Inc. (Canpages). YPG is Canada’s media and marketing solutions company, serving Canadian businesses and consumers nationwide”

Current price: $0.54
Where I bought: $0.18
Amount purchased: $300

When it comes to investing in penny stocks I don’t like to put in more than $300 because of the risk, ESPECIALLY with a company like Yellow Media. This is a stock that went from $6 to under 15 cents in less than a year and I truly believed they were going to ZERO. I put in $300 and it’s just about up to $1000 now.

If you are going long on this stock do your research, there could still be some money to be made on the short side though.

Uranium One

UUU – This is a Uranium stock that was getting hit because of the low markets, and the commodities / metals getting beat up. I always like to buy when a stock is down in a double whammy situation, but they are still a good company. I didn’t buy any UUU but I picked up some copper stocks at $20 and they are already up to $30. UUU is up 22% in the last month! I think there is still lots of room for them to go up.

“Uranium One Inc., along with its subsidiaries, is engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of properties for the production of uranium in Kazakhstan, the United States, Australia and Canada. It owns a 70% interest in the Akdala and South Inkai Uranium Mines in Kazakhstan. It holds a 50% interest in the Karatau joint venture, which owns Karatau uranium mine in Kazakhstan, 49.67% interest in the Zarechnoye joint venture, which owns Zarechnoye uranium mine in Kazakhstan, and a 30% interest in Kyzylkum joint venture. It owns a 51% interest in the Honeymoon Uranium Project in Australia”

Current price: $2.90

For most investors out there penny stocks are usually a long shot taking up a small percentage of their portfolios while there are others who are swinging for the fences and fully invested in the grandslam wealth creation approach. I’m not judging you on where you’re at; everyone has their own level of risk tolerance. But if you have any penny stocks at all, have you considered them as a portfolio?

The Portfolio Approach.
In a general investing sense you would be diversified, so why not do the same in penny stocks. It’s a great way to spread your risk across different industries, stages of companies, and timeframes.

All of the same rules for picking larger companies still apply to picking the smaller market cap ones too. There are a few more things to consider when you’re dealing with riskier decisions though, but a key investing tennet is diversification through portfolio building and as such it’s worth considering.

We’re digging into the CPS archives to bring back a few posts that you might have missed. These archives are ones that have been particularly popular. Hope you enjoy.

Margin account investing is a great way to really amp up the earnings of your portfolio without actually having to put more of your own money in.  You can borrow up to 70% of the value of an investing in a stock which means you only need to put up 30 cents on the dollar.  Of course there is added risk that naturally comes along with added reward but if you’re interest is piqued read the following on Margin Accounts.

What Is A Margin Account?

Margin accounts are setup to allow clients to buy and sell stocks on credit and requires them to pay part of the full transaction price.  The brokerage firm the client uses lends the remaining capital to the client and charges interest on the loan to the client.  The client is expecting to make much more money than the interest charged out on it, and therefore a little interest is not a deterrent for the added service the firm provides.

The word margin itself refers to the amount of money that the client herself has to put up.  The remaining amount is the loan provided by the brokerage firm.  There are two types of margin positions that can be taken by an investor; long margin positions and short margin positions.

Margin Positions

A long margin position is when the investor buys a stock using only a portion of their own money and borrowing the remaining amount from the broker.  There are specific levels of money that a brokerage firm is willing to loan out which is based on the selling price of the security.  Each quarter there is a document produced that lists the stock eligible for reduced margin.  These are generally stocks that have less risk and very liquid as such, they require you to only put up 30% of the total investment.  The following is a list of those percentages:

Taking a short position in a stock is selling a position in a stock that you don’t currently own.  This type of transaction is executed on the belief that the price of a stock is going to fall.  The terms of margin are the opposite when taking a short margin position because you are actually lending money to the brokerage firm because you technically sold a stock to them and they are paying you the proceeds.  To cover the risk in this situation though the client must put up more than the total value of the short sale.  The following is a list of the maximum loan values for short positions:

Margin Call

When the margined stock is purchased the account must maintain sufficient funds to cover the position value. The brokerage firm lends you money but you are also provided with the stock so the full value of the investment is contained within your portfolio.  However if the price of the stock goes down your investment total will be less than the loan amount.  In this case a margin call will be triggered.

Example Of A Margin Call

In the example shown above you would need to fund the account with an additional $70.30 immediately or have the position liquidated automatically by the brokerage firm.  That’s not something you want to have happen so it’s important to keep a good amount of money in your margin account and try not to come too close to the limits.

Using other peoples’ money to invest can lead to a rapid increase in profits but comes at an increased risk.  When using leverage always take care ensuring that your account won’t come anywhere near a margin call.  That type of situation could result in significant losses as the use of leverage amplifies the loss.  Although many penny stocks don’t use margin, there are still some junior companies that would be eligible in the sub $5 range that could be traded in a margin account.
