Penny Stocks Are Very Active This Week & These Companies May Be Worth A Closer Look

Over the course of time, penny stocks have generated a lot of wealth for thousands of investors. Even now, traders especially are always on the lookout for the next big thing in penny stocks. As long as you’ve got a real broker (Etrade, TDAmeritrade, Robinhood, etc.), they will offer access to penny stocks to buy or sell. Knowing how to trade penny stocks is another story.

That being said, investing in penny stocks comes with its share of unique risks. Perhaps the most important thing to remember is that the liquidity in penny stocks is remarkably low and even a small selloff can lead to large declines in the stock price. So, it’s important to watch the market closely and then make decisions. Though you shouldn’t base decisions solely on this, penny stock message boards and social media are interesting places to go.

This isn’t necessarily to determine how to trade but to observe sentiment and hype. Some penny stocks get hyped up more than the companies they come from. In this case, there could be external risks not associated with the market but more of a herd mentality. After you understand the risk, you’ll be in a better position to manage that risk.

With all of this in mind, here is a look at three penny stocks which have made big moves and in turn, big money for those early traders, recently. Will they continue higher before Friday or is it time to sell?

Penny Stocks To Watch #1 Lexicon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (LXRX)

This has been one of the more popular penny stocks to watch this month. Lexicon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (LXRX Stock Report) was introduced last week after it cut ties in a deal with Sanofi.
