4 Penny Stocks to Watch After Key Updates
Penny stocks are highly volatile, so you already know you’re likely in for a wild ride from the start. But this shouldn’t deter you entirely from trading them. It just means that you need to have a penchant for risk and a solid plan in place. Also, if you’re new to this world of cheap stocks, you’ll want to know exactly what you’re buying
What Is A Penny Stock?
Penny stocks are shares of public companies that trade for less than $5. This is the standard definition according to the Securities and Exchange Commission. Some may consider penny stocks as stocks under $1. But the universal understanding is what oversight organizations like the SEC suggest. Either way, you can’t disagree that any stock under $5 has a higher likelihood of volatile swings than a stock trading above $500.
When it comes to finding penny stocks to buy, your strategy should involve one main thing. That “thing” is profit. Sites like Facebook, Reddit and Twitter have slews of “gurus” saying “I told you so” after penny stocks rise thousands of percentage points. But understand that they may simply be trying to build a following. Furthermore, something we always hit home is that a trading strategy doesn’t have to involve buying all penny stocks at one price and selling all at another. Many readers may have this “old-school” mentality in their heads.
The fact is, there are many ways to make money with penny stocks. Many don’t involve “buying everything at $1 and selling everything at $2”. If a stock can actually make such a move, some strategies, like tiered trading, allow traders to stay in a winning trade longer. It also allows them to avoid larger losses if the trade doesn’t work out. If you’re interested in learning more about trading, check out our 60+ page eBook by simply subscribing for free. For the purposes of this article, however, we’re looking at a list of penny stocks gaining ground early this month. It’s up to you to decide if they’re the best penny stocks to buy or not. But all can be bought for under $2.50 right now.

Penny Stocks To Buy For Under $2.50 #2: Geron Corp.
Geron Corp. (GERN Stock Report) has been one of the penny stocks to watch since last June believe it or not. At the time, shares were trading around $1.50. Of course, since then GERN stock has gone on to see short-term swings to highs of $2.40 and lows of $0.75. But the latest trend appears to have pointed to a bounce on the penny stock’s chart.
Late last week, shares pulled back from those $2.40 highs to settle out around $1.50 (yep, a relatively sideways trend if you forgot about it from a year ago). The last 3-day bullish move comes as Geron received an analyst price target upgrade from Cantor Fitzgerald as well as a slew of FORM4 filings showing insider buying activity in the stock. Directors purchased nearly 500,000 shares at an average of $1.54 per share earlier this month. There was also a 13D filing prior to that, showing Growth Equity Opportunities 17 fund holds a 9.6% position in Geron.
Aside from this, there haven’t been many new headlines after announcing its earnings at the end of May. It’s been working on Imetelstat a telomerase inhibitor exclusively owned by Geron. It’s being developed in hematologic myeloid malignancies. Early clinical data suggest imetelstat may have “disease-modifying activity through the suppression of malignant progenitor cell clone proliferation.”
According to Geron, clinical studies of imetelstat sponsored by Geron include IMerge™, a Phase 2/3 trial in lower-risk myelodysplastic syndromes and IMbark™, a Phase 2 trial in Intermediate-2 or High-risk myelofibrosis. Imetelstat received Fast Track designation from the US FDA for the treatment of patients with transfusion-dependent anemia.
