ONE IDEA.Name: Adrienne Schwartz Home: Woodland Hills Age: 54 Occupation: Physician's assistant physician's assistant: see physician assistant. One idea: When Schwartz and her husband installed a new deck in their back yard nine years ago, they used a faux wood made by a company called Trex Inc. The Schwartzes liked it so much that they bought roughly 500 shares of what was then a penny stock Penny Stock A stock that sells for less than $1 a share but may also rise to as much as $10/share as a result of heavy promotion. All penny stocks are traded OTC or on the pink sheets. Notes: Penny stocks are highly speculative and risky. . Quote: ``Trex's product is ecologically correct. It resembles wood but it's made of recycled plastic. It was cheap when we first bought it, and now there are imitators on the market, but Trex is the first.''
