Many investors consider China penny stocks to be as financially risky as China’s infamous gambling houses. While this may have been true twenty years ago, China’s economy has taken a turn for the better and their penny stocks are now as lucrative as those of any other country.

Determining the most promising penny stocks 2012 has to offer requires equal amounts of skill and luck. The volatile nature of the market is responsible for the success and failure of the trades made each day, and even the investors who perform the required research run the risk of loss. The best picks for the coming months of 2012 will be those that are most effected by catalysts such as mergers, financing agreements, and industry specific announcements.
