The Canadian market has experienced a period of sideways consolidation over the past three months, which may act as a corrective force amidst ongoing policy uncertainty and trade worries. In such conditions, investors often seek diversification to balance their portfolios, and penny stocks can offer intriguing opportunities due to their affordability and potential for growth. Although the term "penny stocks" might seem outdated, these smaller or newer companies can still provide value and growth prospects when backed by strong financials.
