Amid ongoing discussions about tariffs and their potential impact on trade, the Canadian market continues to navigate a complex economic landscape. With an emphasis on diversification as a strategy for 2025, investors are encouraged to explore various asset classes, including penny stocks. Although the term "penny stocks" might seem outdated, these investments often represent smaller or newer companies that can offer significant growth opportunities when backed by solid financial health.
