Will These Penny Stocks Be On Your List Next Week?
Well, another wild week for penny stocks is in the book. I for one cannot believe how many crazy breakouts we saw in just 5 days. As euphoria swept across the stock market today and throughout the week, I watched in sheer amazement. We didn’t just see a few hundred percent gainers. We saw penny stocks rally thousands of percentage points. There were also penny stocks continuing multi-week and multi-month bull trends.

One of the big “push/pull” events in the market was coronavirus and the reopening of the economy. At the start of the week, we saw massive buying seemingly trigger another bullish trend. But as investors ignored certain fundamentals and let emotions dictate the pace, we’ve seen how quickly that trend changed. The broader markets saw their worst day since March. Don’t forget that March was some of the worst performance in decades.
So it will be interesting to see what if anything transpires over the weekend. No matter what, small-cap and micro-cap stocks were on fire this week. LFIN, IMRN, WAFU, JFIN, and ENOB were just a few examples of parabolic penny stocks. Other cheap shares also performed incredibly and it was almost overwhelming the amount of penny stock breakouts the market saw.
While this isn’t the norm as far as frequency goes, it does go to show you that no matter what the broader markets are doing, penny stocks beat to the sound of their own drum. This is why investors that can handle a bit of risk continue to seek out new opportunities. With this in mind, will some of these penny stocks be on your research list this weekend?

ElectraMeccanica builds the all-electric SOLO, a single passenger vehicle. This week SOLO stock jumped to highs of $3 after the company provided an update related to its ongoing search for a U.S. based assembly facility and engineering technical center. On February 27, 2020 the Company announced its engagement with BDO USA’s Site Selection & Business Incentives Practice to lead the search. Following the initial review, the Company has narrowed its list to the following five states: Arizona, Colorado, Florida, North Carolina, and Tennessee.
The stock dropped after ElectraMeccanica announced a financing for “up to $20 million” at $2. Considering shares were at $3, it wasn’t a surprise that the penny stock dropped after the news broke. However, at the end of the week, the company reported the financing was closed. Considering that $2 now is actually a premium to the current market price, trader turned bullish on the penny stock after hours on Friday. Will that keep up next week?
