Hot Penny Stocks To Buy For Under $3 [for now]
The S&P reached a fresh, all-time high and myriad penny stocks echoed that bullish sentiment today. What’s better still, is that it didn’t just reach this high and sell-off. The S&P hit $3,676.22 in the morning and continued holding above $3,670 for the remainder of the pre-lunch session. This helped strong momentum into the second half of the first trading day of December.
Meanwhile, strong data out of China suggested strength in the global economic landscape. China’s factory data showed levels reaching a ten-year high. This, paired with upbeat sentiment of a vaccine release date helped give broader markets a boost, taking small- and micro-cap stocks with it. Meanwhile, the Dow Jones Industrial Average treaded water, hovering around the milestone 30,000 level and the NASDAQ topped new, all-time highs. Is this the “holiday rally” everyone’s been looking for or something else.
