Broader market volatility and a little bit of help from Elon Musk might have become the catalyst. First the S&P and Dow have gotten beaten up for the last few weeks. This perpetual decline has sent a shockwave across markets. Meanwhile, we’ve had “anomalies” like Tesla and others reaching new highs.
That was, until Battery Day. That is when we began seeing a jolt in small-cap energy stocks. Musk’s comments on increasing production and the side-effects that could bring helped boost EV, tech, energy, and the “Pick and Shovel” participants related to these broader sectors.

Penny Stocks To Buy [or avoid]: Senmiao Technology Limited
Senmiao Technology (AIHS Stock Report) has also gotten caught up in the hype of EV penny stocks this week. The company shifted focus on this initiative earlier this year. Senmiao announced a strategic cooperation agreement with Sichuan Hongyu Enterprise Management Co., Ltd. It was to facilitate the purchase of electric vehicles and cross-promote their brands, products, and services for a term of three years.
Xi Wen, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of Senmiao said, “We shifted our focus during the quarter to a new opportunity, namely the provision of short-term car rentals…Creating this additional revenue stream has also helped to mitigate the drop in online ride-hailing automobile sales.”
While there hasn’t been any recently news to speak about, Senmiao filed a proxy statement a few weeks back. One of the articles up for vote is a reverse stock split of the company’s shares. Compared to some of the other reverse splits we’ve seen, AIHS’ is relatively smaller. According to the proxy, AIHS stock looks to effect a one for 5 or one for 10 split. The shareholder meeting for this proxy won’t be until the end of next month so it will be something to consider heading into next quarter.
Penny Stocks To Buy [or avoid]: Genius Brands International Inc.
Genius Brands International Inc. (GNUS Stock Report) is one of the love/hate penny stocks to watch this year. The stock had an epic rally during the summer that took GNUS stock to highs of over $11. But as you can see, the penny stock has come back to levels below $1.50. One of the things I will say is that GNUS has a cult-like following. News events have acted as short-term catalyst in recent weeks. But nothing has driven enough momentum to take it above its 50-day moving average, which has acted as resistance for months.
This week, the company came out with two important pieces of news. First, Genius announced that Marc Rosenberg was appointed President of Global Brands and Chief Marketing Officer of the company. He was the former head of marketing at Hasbro Toys and Tiger Electronics. His biggest wins came from brand launches for Furby, GigaPets, and Hit Clips.
