Instructions

1. Identify the penny stock forum you want to use. Many different penny stock forums on the Internet offer a wide range of information. Choosing the right one is mainly about personal preference, as each forum has its negative and positive aspects. See the resources section for more information.

2. Browse each penny stock forum to discover which one you prefer. Some forums allow you to view the information on the site without registering. However, there are those that will not allow access without this registration.

3. Register with the penny stocks forum. To register you will need a valid email address. If you want to decrease the amount of spam email and increase your Internet security, you can use a secondary email account for the registration. If you use your primary email you could start to receive spam and virus email at that address because some forums may sell your email address.

4. Search the penny stock forums for investment ideas that may interest you. These forums can give you some new investing ideas, provide valuation models and provide warning on penny stocks that are too risky. Understand that each of the members of these forums is anonymous and may post ill-conceived or erroneous information. Therefore, this information should be only a relatively small part of your penny stocks investment research.

5. Obey any of the forum rules and posting guidelines. Most every forum has its own set of rules and as a member; you must follow them or risk banishment.
