Making Headlines

The Motley Fool has been having a bit of a love fest with "penny stocks" of late. It likes to point out low-priced gems in a weekly column that highlights the stock-picking success of its "Motley Fool CAPS" community. In this piece, reporter Tim Beyers mentions Royce Low-Priced Stock Fund (RYLPX) as a mutual fund that has had success by investing in the stock market's "super cheap seats", in this case stocks that are listed under $10 a share (although RYLPX seeks to invest primarily in small- and micro-cap companies whose average cost per share in the Fund's portfolio is less than $25).
