Company fundamentals: Good cash flow is the most important consideration in choosing a penny stock. Spare sometime in knowing company fundamentals in addition to its goodwill and future projects. If a company has a good chance of success, please go for it.

PE and PEG ratio examine the PE ratio of the stock you and compare it with its peers doing well in the market.

Remember you will choose a stock with higher PE but lower PEG.

Trading volume: Assume yourself in a situation when you want to sell your stock but no one is ready to buy it. Stocks with low liquidity are difficult to buy or sell for the prices you want. So think twice before you buy such stock.
