Penny Stocks and shares are in effect the constituent parts of the total value of a company which have been split into many equal parts, these shares can then be bought and sold for profit - or loss. You could own a small number of shares in a company which only account for a tiny presentage of the total worth of the business. Many amateur investors do this. Or you might be a large investor who wishes to have a controlling interest in a company in which case you would buy the majority of the shares and become the majority shareholder. This is how some companies take each other over - by buying up enough shares so that they control the direction the company takes.
