Example...
We know QASP. We know that it is bouncing between .014 and .018 daily. Buy 50,000 shares when it hits .0146 and sell them at .0168, you make a hundred bucks. This can be done at least once a day. But, if you have the time, you might be able to do it twice a day. And this all depends if you have a portfolio worth 25K or more and it's set up with your broker to daytrade.
That's how it's done!
And then every now and then, you get stuck. Like when you buy at .0146 and it sinks to .0114, you may have to hold for awhile. But, if you know the company, and you trust it, you can hold for a week or two and get your money back. That's why I prefer to do this with bigger stocks like Wendy's, or Sprint, or JetBlue. These are all 4 or 5 dollar stocks, so you only buy 1400 shares at a time and let them rise 7 cents and voila, you make a hundred bucks. It they sink, that's ok, they're good companies, they'll be back!
Good luck Sandy!
