Cherry Picking The Diamonds From The Stock Market

My investments 10k have been reduced to 4k. How can I grow it back in the short term. Penny stocks?

The holdings are in two mutual funds and four stocks. The stocks are almost wiped out but the funds are down 50%. Would trading in penny stocks help in the short term. Any suggestions on specific stocks

I don't usually look at penny stocks, but since crude oil started going back up, I did in the energy sector

Speculative oil penny stocks that are moving back up similar to crude oil:
US Markets:
BQI – Oil Sands
GST – Gastar Exploration
IVAN – Ivanhoe Energy

UK markets:
BOR – Borders &
HAWK – Nighthawk

I assume you use stop losses and candlestick charts. Make sure you calculate how much of $4K you want to risk.

Just try these then get back to the blue chips.
