If you have heard the siren song of penny stocks, step back and put your fingers in your ears. They may be exciting, but far too often penny stocks prove to be a waste of time and money. If you are still finding it hard to resist the draw of penny stocks, then consider these three alternatives instead: Shopify Inc. (NYSE:SHOP), Activision Blizzard, Inc. (NASDAQ:ATVI), and Franco-Nevada Corporation (NYSE:FNV). Each of these stocks offer a fair amount of "excitement" and are better options than penny stocks. Here's why.
This e-commerce play could be a great long-term betChris Neiger (Shopify Inc.): Instead of gambling your money away on a penny stock, hoping to make significant returns from a business you may not know much about, why not place a much safer bet on a company that has a transparent business, is already seeing huge sales gains, and that's setting itself up for a bright future? There are plenty of stocks that are a much better investment than diving into the murky waters of penny stocks, but Shopify stands out because it's not only an innovative and growing company, but its share price has already returned more than 400% since its IPO in 2015.
