Are These On Your August List Of Penny Stocks?

Are penny stocks on your list right now? If they aren’t, you may want to at least familiarize yourself with small-cap stocks. If you can handle the stock market in 2020, I’m guessing that you’ve learned a bit about volatility. You know, those big swings in price that you hear about?

While the Teslas and Kodaks have all proven how volatility can present big opportunities for higher-priced stocks, penny stocks experience this on a daily basis. There was an article out today on PennyStocks.com that referenced this perfectly. Even if the broader market’s down in the dumps, you’re likely to find some penny stocks making new highs.

So here we are in the thick of summer and there are millions more trading penny stocks that there were this time last year. That’s if Robinhood’s figures from earlier this year are to be believed. Reports cited that the trading app added 3 million new users just in the first quarter. With the average age somewhere in the ballpark of 32 years old, we saw exactly how risky some of these traders were.

The ultimate question now: will they be penny stocks to trade or will this momentum fade?

With eCommerce on fire this year, anyway, it’s not surprising that sentiment has grown around companies like this. Earlier this month, LightInTheBox appointed a new round of executives. These included Wenyu Liu as Chief Growth Officer and Yuanjun Ye as Chief Financial Officer. Aside from that update, however, there hasn’t been much more released by the company. So if this is on your list right now, you’ve got to ask yourself if this is a move anticipating earnings or one in sympathy with the rest of the sector?

This refers to additional momentum after a pullback. August 12th has seen quite a bit of that as shares of OXBR stock have bounced by roughly 25% from the opening bell.

The company reported increased results over last year. Net income came in at a “modest” $165k but compared to a loss of $205k last year, it’s notable.

For OXBR stock, will this be a sign that it has established a new, higher level of support compared to the last few months?
