There are a number of things to keep in mind for the coming year, especially in the micro-cap markets. First, it should be noted that what is going on with the Euro and the European Union wil factor heavily in the performance of equities of 2012, especially for penny stock equities. In addition, the US decision to dilute the US dollar through monetary policy for the past several years, in a futile attempt to stave off financial distaster will also continue to play a factor in the which sectors will produce the top penny stocks for 2012.
Investors need to be prudent with their research efforts, and spend time looking for market opportunities in 2012, by selecting the sectors of the economy that they feel will perform well during this period of economic uncertainty. While there is a great deal of financial research available on companies with high market capitalization, the availability and quality of research for penny stocks is surprising thin.
For 2012, it is our contention that the energy sector will continue to perform well, specifically in penny oil stocks. While it can be expected that financial turmoil will reduce production in many sectors, global energy demand remains high and is expect to grow.
In addition to oil stocks, there are opportunities with coal stocks in the penny market. And while coal prices are driven by energy demands, the premium side of the market is industrial, as investors should look metallurgical coal stocks to continue to perform.
This brings us to another sector of the economy for 2012 which we feel will continue to perform well, and that is penny mining stocks. Precious metals prices established new highes in 2012, and have set new pase prices. Look for penny gold stocks and silver stocks to perform well throughout 2012.
While gold and silver have benefited from the economic turmoil in Europe and the United States, it is asian demand which will foster a productive market for base metals such as copper stocks, zinc stocks and nickel stocks. Base metals will continue to perform, as China and India continue to build infrastructure, and experience rapid economic growth.
Green technology is another sector of the penny stock market which we expect to outperform the market. The demand for innovative green solutions that address a current market demand are perfectly suited for the microcap world. Look for green solutions that address specific niches, there can be some excellent opportunities for investors to capitalize.
