Should I Invest in Penny stocks stock market?

Penny stocks are the ones that are in the price range of a few paisas to a few rupees. If you are investing in a stock which is at 500 Rupees and it is falling by 20% in a day. The stock will come down to 400 and you would have lost nearly 100 Rupees. If you had bought 100 shares, your loss would have been 10,000 in a day.

Are you ok to lose 10,000 if you are first-time investor?

20% stop loss is a general recommendation if you want to start investing in the stock market.
