Unique Pipelines Could Have These Penny Stocks On The Radar Before 2021

We talked about some biotech penny stocks earlier today and several took flight early. As the markets race to all-time highs once again, it’s no wonder why this sector is on fire. Countless companies are not only designing COVID treatment candidates, the interest has spilled over into other types of biotech stocks. Everything from cancer treatments and heart disease, to nutraceuticals and lifestyle health products, are becoming a focus.

Meanwhile, on a more narrow focus the Biotech ETF – IBB – has leaped to new all-time highs on its own. Unfortunately, the Health Care ETF – XLV – has lagged a bit, it too has found itself a strong uptrend this week. Currently, all-time highs for the XLV sit around $114.41. The ETF currently sits just shy of $113 during Tuesday’s lunch hour. As they say, the trend is your friend. In this case, biotech stocks are performing well during the second week of the month so it might not be a bad idea to find some penny stocks to watch right now.

Penny Stocks To Watch: Havn Life Sciences

You might’ve never thought psychedelics would be on the menu alongside biotech stocks. But it’s 2020 and states are now legalizing and decriminalizing psychedelics. Some will call them magic mushroom stocks. Others will look for psychedelic stocks, in general. Havn Life Sciences (HAVLF Stock Report) is in a unique position among other “mushroom stocks” in that it’s pushing forward with an initiative to become a “go-to” for things like psychedelic research.

In early Q4 2020, Havn Life expanded its international footprint. The company joined the Drug Science Medical Psychedelics Working Group consortium. The working group was launched by Drug Science, UK’s leading independent scientific body on drugs that provides an evidence base, free from political or commercial influence, which creates a foundation for sensible and effective drug laws, by delivering, reviewing and investigating scientific evidence relating to psychoactive drugs.

Havn announced a new partnership with veterans mental health non-profit, Westwood Institute. The focus is to work with Havn in developing therapy using psychedelics for veterans. This came just a few days after joining the Conservative Drug Policy Reform Group becoming a voting role in policy reform specific to psychedelics in the UK. Something to also keep in mind is that after gaining Health Canada approval, Havn plans to launch the first 7 natural health products in the Canadian market in 2021. It’s also worth mentioning that Havn’s leadership team has been a big sticking point for the markets recently.

Executive Chairman Vic Neufeld was the CEO of Aphria for 5 years from 2014 to 2019. This was the heyday of the company and saw Aphria’s valuation explode significantly.
