Penny stocks are considered very risky by many investors. But what if I was to tell you that you can make them a lot less risky with a little due diligence? When trading penny stocks, you should be doing extensive research in companies you want to invest in as well as how the market is doing overall. This will help you make more informed trades.
In addition, you should also develop trading strategies. You should understand your personal risk tolerance so you can set appropriate stop-loss orders to minimize losses. One of the hardest parts about this is identifying what are the best penny stocks to buy.
How To Find Penny Stocks To Buy
So what are some ways to find these cheap stocks? You could start by scanning penny stock newsfeeds. Companies will put out announcements on significant developments. This is a daily occurrence and if the news is big enough, investors typically pile into a stock.
Another thing you could look at is corporate filings. These are a bit harder to decipher than penny stock news but they have detailed breakdowns of material events. Understanding what price a company raises money or if insiders are selling or buying are just a few things you can find in these disclosure statements.

Penny Stocks To Buy (or Sell): TrovaGene Inc. (TROV)
The first company I want to introduce you to is TrovaGene Inc. (TROV Stock Report). The company focuses on using Precision Cancer Medicine to create drugs that target mitosis. This approach can result in treatments for leukemias, lymphomas, and solid tumor cancers. To do this, the company has invested lots of time and energy in Onvansertib, a first-in-class inhibitor.
Recently, the company announced some pretty big penny stock news. TrovaGene presented data for its Phase 2 trial. It evaluated Onvansetib with Zytiga for Patients with Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer. The results showed that 72% of patients had lower PSA levels and 100% of the patients had 100% of AR-V7. This has prompted the company’s stock price to rise 8% on November 14th.

In response to this, Dr. Mark Erlander, Chief Scientific Officer of Trovagene said, “Of particular significance are the positive results we are observing in patients who harbor the highly aggressive, resistant variant of the androgen receptor (AR-V7). These patients are resistant to ARS inhibitors including Zytiga® and Xtandi® (enzalutamide – Pfizer) and their therapeutic options are not only limited but often ineffective. We believe the addition of onvansertib has the potential to deliver transformative benefit to patients with mCRPC by extending the duration of response to treatment with ARS inhibitors.”
