NanoViricides, Inc. [NNVC] (01/09/06)

In our Bird Flu H5N1, SARS; Flu & Flu-Like Pandemic Threats Discussion Forum we've been talking about the latest NanoViricides, Inc. (Ticker NNVC) as a possible speculative investment for investors who want a hedge against a potential Bird Flu, or H5N1, outbreak. One warning, this is a very risky penny stock investment.

I first told my readers about my investment in NanoViricides on November 22, 2005 in our TA: Technical Analysis & Charting forum HERE.

About NanoViricides, Inc.

From the company website:

Imagine having a nano-scale molecularly engineered "guided missile", about the size of a few billionth of a meter, that courses through the blood-stream, seeks its target e.g. a virus particle, attaches itself to the target, and then destroys the target completely.

We believe that nanoviricides are the next great advance in medicine. It is possible that some HIV patients may be "cured" by the drugs developed at NanoViricides Inc. We hope that with further knowledge and new advancements in medicine, many viral diseases will be curable. We hope to spearhead these efforts.

The chart shows it has done well for me since then with a nearly 40% gain since that 11/22/05 buy at $1.01.

Penny Stock Risks

Before you even consider buying a stock like NanoViricides, make sure you read the article Penny Stock Mentality. My conclusion at the bottom of Penny Stock Mentality is key:

Penny Stock Warning: Penny Stocks are cheap for a good reason. Most financial advisors advise against buying penny stocks because most people lose money, the commissions are huge and they are subject to price manipulation due to the small float. Thus, I tell people to consider buying penny stocks as gambling. NEVER buy more than you can afford to lose and consider the purchase as a trip to Las Vegas where you have a budget on what you can afford to lose at the gaming tables, including air fair and lodging.
