Penny stocks have both unlimited risk and unlimited reward. Sometimes that reward can take a year to culminate. When looking for penny stocks to buy, investors tend to gravitate to great news. If the news is good enough, it can promote both instantaneous or gradual growth. A downside to trading penny stocks is that many tend to not be trading on the Robinhood trading app. Three such instances include:

Healthcare Penny Stock Breaking Out: The Promising Stem Cell Field
Lans Holdings Inc. (LAHO Stock Chart) is a payment solutions company. They have a group-buying portal and payment processor that makes it easy for new sellers to start selling their products. The company’s shares have seen multiple jumps but their recent one was 240%. This most recent skyrocket was attributed to Lans Holdings entering a letter of intent to completely control Global Stem Cells Group Inc.

Trade War Impact
Lynas Corporation Limited (LYSCF Stock Chart) is a materials company focused on rare Earth minerals in Australia and Malaysia. Since the beginning of 2019, Lynas’ share price got mainly stuck between the $1.00 and $1.20 range. However, the stock jumped 2 times over the year on March 26th and May 29th. Those two moves helped the stock increased 100% over 3 months.
The move on March 26th was sparked by Lynas rejecting Wesfarmers offer of $1.1 billion to acquire the company. The stock jumped 35% on this news alone. The second catalyst was due to the US-China Trade War. China’s threat to cut US material companies off made Lynas the only significant rare Earth material provider for the US. This prompted a 38.7% gain in the share price.
