And penny stocks are, are ? Startups 🤣
Btw, just wondering how much a low a share price is:
- $0.01 ?
- $0.10 ?
- $1 ?
- $10 ?
- $100 ?
- $1000?

So, my interpretation has always been that anything below $5.

$10, $100, and $1k are not penny stocks but someone somewhere could be interpreting it how every they feel

Told a friend of mine in tech I was considering moving to BCG. He asked me if I would have to move to Boston.

I followed up by asking what he thought the top consulting firms were. "I'd guess PwC and then McKinsey are the best. I've also heard of KPMG, Deloitte, and Bain, but I don't know much about them."

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.
