In the past few weeks, investors have seen a great deal of bullish interest in penny stocks. This is not to say all penny stocks have had bull runs, but rather a select group. There are several factors currently in play that could shift the trajectory of penny stocks in the coming months. The most important factor is covid and the potential of a vaccine.
In the U.K., the government approved a covid-vaccine for emergency use during the first week of December. Whether or not this will create a domino effect for the U.S. remains to be seen. But, the fact that a vaccine is going into widespread use means that we could soon see the light and the end of the covid filled tunnel. With this, many penny stock investors are not only bullish but hopeful about the future as well.
