Being underwater is the worst. Some bipeds may look to the ocean or the pool with longing and may be giddy once inside. But human beings are meant to walk and hunt and mate and live on land. So it goes for the term being underwater in your investing. If you find yourself in a position where you've bought into a stock and the stock has lost value and the shares you bought are now worth less than what you paid for them, you are underwater. You should know a few things especially for penny stock investing before you make any sudden moves with your positions.
How many shares are outstanding? If you are a penny stock investor in a company that's gotten a little share happy and just keeps issuing new shares, this could be the reason that you're underwater. Dilution is a major cause for penny stocks to go belly up. However your penny stock could also just be going through normal fluctuations of stocks. Before you double down or anything like that, make sure you know when the last share issuance was, for how many shares it was, and if the retreat in value is because of a flood of shares.
Has Your CEO Been Spending? If the rumor around the chat mill is that your CEO is spending big bucks on planes and hotels, this could be bad for your bottom line. Don't trust the heathens who live in the chat rooms. Call investor relations and get the straight skinny. They should be able to tell you where the CEO went and why. If they can't you may be underwater without a breath left. However if they are inking international deals, planning some big launch or something else, the profit wheel could be turning sooner than you know.
Shift in Plans: Many times retracements are from a shift in plans. The market doesn't like uncertainty. But you're smarter than the market anyway. If this shift in plan looks to be a winner for your flagging penny stock investment, you may wish to adjust your position or even double down if you're feeling lucky. A shift in plans in your underwater penny stock positions could be just the move to get you the air you've been looking for.
Due to the volatility of penny stock investing you never know if your positions will ever regain value. You may end up all the way down at zero with no money in your individual positions. However for some savvy penny stock investors, being underwater in your penny stock positions is nothing more than an opportunity. Before you go throwing darts into the wind though you should know a few things about the stock you're invested in and the relative value to your shares or you could be the one who winds up holding the bag.
