Thomas Nelson Page, author of short stories, novels, essays, and poetry, is best known for his role as literary spokesman for the glories of the Old South. The book begins: He was one of my first acquaintances when I came up to town to live; for I met him almost immediately after I gave up my country identity and melted into the sea of the city, though I did not learn his name for some time afterwards, and therefore knew him, as I found many others did, simply as, the Old Gentleman of the Black Stock.

Stock Character $78.07 Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. A stock character is a fictional character based on a common literary or social stereotype. Stock characters rely heavily on cultural types or names for their personality, manner of speech, and other characteristics. In their most general form, stock characters are related to literary archetypes, but they are often more narrowly defined. Stock characters are a key component of genre fiction, providing relationships and interactions that people familiar with the genre will recognize immediately. Stock characters make easy targets for parody, which will likely exaggerate any stereotypes associated with these characters. By the loosest definition, stock characters have been around ever since the tragedy of Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides, being based upon the traits of mythological characters. Although mythological characters are not representations of real people, they are a group that would have been recognizable to ancient audiences, and even back then, tended to fall into wellestablished group types.

Be Wary of "Blue Chip" Penny Stocks
Beware the "Blue Chip" Penny Stocks
Let's play that good old-fashioned psychologist game, word association. We will throw out a company name, you make note of the first thing that pops into your head. Level 3 Communications (LVLT), American International Group (AIG), Sirius XM Radio (SIRI), Tenet Healthcare (THC), Fannie Mae (FNM), Infineon Technologies (IXF), Genworth Financial (GNW), E*Trade Financial (ETFC), and Coeur D'Alene Mines (CDE).
Done with that group? Okay, let's add some others to the mix: Unisys (UIS), Rite Aid (RAD), Ballard Power Systems (BLDP), Citigroup (C), and Blockbuster (BBI). Think about the first word that popped into your head for each of these - was it penny stock? Odds are it wasn't, because not many people think that companies with market caps as large as these could be penny stocks. However, all of these companies are trading under $1 currently.
Penny stocks have long been enticing to investors as potentially holding a major potential reward - and that is the problem here, the word potential. There is an old country adage that potential is another word for failure - but we'll take a look at that in a minute.
What is alluring to many novice investors is that you could own a share of Level 3 for less than a dollar - same with a share of Coeur D'Alene or Citigroup. However, does the potential loss outweigh the reward? There are 1000s of trading accounts in America filled with stocks bought under $2.00 that are now worthless.
Many different definitions exist for penny stocks, but the one constant is that the stock is low-priced and often holds a small market cap. Interesting, by following this definition, Citigroup would likely not be a penny stock, nor would any of the other names mentioned earlier. But yet they are trading below $1, so they inherently are very risky.
That said, you can own shares of former market powerhouses for less than a buck - is it worth a shot? Let's take a look at a chart of Citigroup. This is a daily chart spanning back to early July 2008. The stock's near-term high of $23.50 was hit in October 2008, but then the stock was hit - hard. With the stock wallowing under a dollar, is this penny stock a buy?
In general, the answer would be no. Stocks under $5.00 are generally high risk, under $2.00 are very high risk, and under $1.00 are usually going to 0. Many micro-cap companies with shares under $1.00 (the kind you get random "hot tips" about) are in fact actually scam/sham/shell companies, whose shares are being manipulated by a group. Many mutual funds cannot even buy shares of companies trading under $10.
In the unusual case of gigantic companies trading under $1.00 that we are seeing today, the answer of whether to buy these is also basically no. These companies are not in general going out of business -- but what will likely happen (what the market is pricing as an extremely high likelihood of happening) is that the equity (common stock) will go worthless, the company will re-organize, pay off debtors (to some degree), then either re-issue new shares eventually, go private, or merge. But the common stock holders get nothing in most all cases.
Could some of these former blue-chips trading under $1 come back? Certainly. But the odds are very strong that they will not. So beware the bottom-fishing on these types of names, unless you are prepared to deal with the stock going worthless.
Many traders fall for the allure of the penny stock, especially when they first begin investing. They figure they can buy 1000 or more shares of one stock vs 10 of another. However, if that penny stock goes to zero, you still lose all the $ you put in. So tread very lightly and do all the research you can before dipping a toe into the penny stock pool, even for the big names.
There is a reason penny stocks are penny stocks, perhaps it is poor management, poor business plans, poor execution of said plan, a violent economic turn, too much debt, or just an avalanche of short selling and negative sentiment. Whatever the reason, make sure to perform your due diligence when it comes to speculating in extremely low priced shares.
