If you can trade penny stocks when they make volatile moves, you can see some serious profits. After all, that is their appeal to investors. When there is positive penny stocks news reported before the market opens, massive price hikes tend to follow. In addition, some penny stocks simply react to news late but can still see those strong profits.
These 4 penny stocks are trading much higher after the May 20 opening bell. However, they would have made investors big bucks if they would have purchased any one of these before the market open. Multiple sectors across the penny stock market experienced this firsthand.
