Online brokerage firms such as Scottrade®, E-Trade®, TradeStation®, and Speedtrader® will allow you to purchase penny stocks.

Penny Stocks are, in most cases, overlooked by traditional stock brokers who do not follow a specific stock unless it is trading above a predetermined limit (typically around $2.00 – $3.00).
