Penny Stocks To Watch Right Now As Energy & Tech Captivate Investor Interest
Once again, the morning session greets those trading penny stocks with a big bullish trend in electric vehicle stocks today. But how long can the momentum last in these names? It’s a big question I’m sure many are asking as valuations are becoming astronomical at this point. We’re seeing penny stocks explode from less than $1 to highs of over $10 within a day. Even with such a parabolic move, retail traders continue flocking to these stocks looking for ways to “invest” without breaking down fundamentals. For those who’re reading and relating to this, please take some things into consideration right now.
First, nothing goes up in a straight line forever. As amazing as these moves have been, responsible traders are protecting gains by taking profit as these stocks go up. Holding onto these penny stocks and hoping that they follow a similar trend to Nio (NIO Stock Report) or Xpeng Inc. (XPEV Stock Report) has a flaw. That flaw is “hoping” something trades a certain way. The market will ultimately dictate the pace and direction.

If a company that was trading at $1 “yesterday” is at $10 “today,” fundamentally what has changed to justify a valuation 10 times higher within a day? Unless we’re talking about a massive deal that’s immediately accretive 10x or more to a company’s bottom line, there’s not much to justify such a market cap. This is the beauty of penny stocks, low floats, short squeezes, FOMO, sympathy trading, and emotionally-fueled speculation. In many cases, even a mention of something related to a current hot sector can send penny stocks surging. It’s important to keep in mind that there are other factors at play than someone saying “this is the next Tesla”.
How To Trade Penny Stocks
So what’s to say about penny stocks? Should all penny stocks be day traded? Are all penny stocks bad to invest in? Everyone asks questions like these daily. There’s also a good chance that someone ends up buying at the top of a move, knowing the risk, and still says penny stocks should be avoided at all costs.
At the end of the day, the ones consistently making money with these stocks under $5 are those sticking to a proven strategy. Some even go a step further, taking up a tier trading strategy ensuring to stay in winning trades longer and cut out of losing trades quicker. While this is easier said than done, a strategy that allows for things like this can help when it comes to these massive sector moves.
Peeling profit along the way, scaling up, scaling out, etc. These are all different ways of taking advantage of such explosive momentum. With this in mind, some sectors have also benefited from the move that electric vehicle stocks have made. This includes energy, alternative fuels, and even certain technology stocks. Given the sympathy momentum, however, will these stocks establish a trend or is this going to be a short-lived breakout move? Those are things to keep in mind heading into the rest of the short week this week.

Transatlantic Petroleum Ltd. (TAT Stock Report) is another one of the energy stocks to watch on Tuesday. The company recently caught a surge after reporting third quarter results last week.

Transatlantic also recorded a smaller net loss in Q3 compared to Q2.

Similar to many of the other parabolic moved we’ve seen, it’s important to keep this catalyst in mind. While Gevo, itself may have reached certain milestones this year, we’ve got to look at what’s happened during the period that it broke out. The company hasn’t put out any news or filings. However, related names in fuel cell, hydrogen, and alternative fuels markets have. That sector strength may have been the main driver of this move. Is GEVO still one of the penny stocks to buy right now or has the move gotten too far extended?
