So, if you don't have enough money to invest in more expensive stocks on the market you can totally legally buy penny stocks.

Also penny stocks are little bit mysterious. You have little information about the company which issues such stocks. When you have little information you can not adequately assess if the price will go up or down. So you can have a high profit but you can have a huge loss when investing in penny stocks. They are riskier than the stocks sold on the stock exchange. But financial risk is the only risk. You are not breaking the low by trading with penny stocks.
