With so many brokerage firms available online, it has made it much easier for anyone to invest in penny stocks without actually having to go through a broker directly. You can simply create an account with an online brokerage firm, which will then allow you to make stock purchases. For this reason and due to the limited risk, people have started investing in penny stocks, banking on the hope that the stock price eventually increases.
