There are many benefits to owning your own business. I would
like to compare this to investing to help you decide which is better, investing
or business ownership. While each has its benefits, both are certainly not for

Both represent a form a gaining financial independence. So which one is better?

Owning your own business means you have no boss and more tax benefits. It also
means how much money you make is up to you. If you work hard enough at anything
then it will eventually be profitable. The big benefits include doing whatever
your passion is and getting paid for it, deciding when and where you want to
work, and being your own boss. This truly represents a freedom that almost

A lot of work and time is put into selecting the right stock
to invest in but it can be quite difficult, and frankly nerve racking to
decided when to sell a stock. This is especially true if youre a new investor
and investing in Penny Stocks. Much money can be lost by pulling out at the
wrong time or holding onto a stock longer than you should have.

in price and your broker, if you have one, may even say the same thing but this
isnt always the best thing to do believe it or not.

in these a time or two or perhaps you have heard of them but really did not

also lose your shirt if you do not know what you are doing. Settle down and
does some research before you get too excited. Take it from someone who has
gotten burned more than a couple times that you need to understand what you are
getting into before jumping in blindly.

There has been a lot of talk about how 2008 will turn out
financially. The word recession has been thrown around a lot perhaps for shock
value but maybe not. Lets pretend for a moment that these predictions of s
recession are accurate. How would that effect the stock market? Well, the stock
market will always be there even if the numbers change. However, in a
recession, everything is relatively a penny stock. So even though penny stocks
have received bad press they will always be there during good and bad times.
