problem with pennies is lots of new investors and young 20 something males getting into investing for first time. Typically less then 12 motnhs of experience and no real training. Just what they read on boards like Ihub. They are easily swayed from boards like Ihub because they truly don't understand what they are looking at. bashers have more knowledge then 90% of the penny players here and use that knowledge to spin a positive into a  negative that the newbies believe.
