Insiders Consider These Penny Stocks To Buy Now

At some point, you’ve been introduced to penny stocks. Whether it was by a “buddy” with a “hot tip” or you saw something on a movie, you’ve been excited by something relating to these cheap stocks. Most likely that “something” is the potential for making a huge or quick windfall in the stock market. But what are the best penny stocks to buy now and how can you find them?

Think about it, where else can you invest money into a company for a small sum with an opportunity to see that double or more in less than a year. We saw exactly this happen in 2020. Aside from the coronavirus vaccine companies that exploded 1000’s of percentage points this year, there were many others that far outpaced the market. Even this month we saw several penny stocks jump 500% or more within a single day.

Just to give you an idea of what that means in dollars, let’s give a quick example. This isn’t an arbitrary example either. Last week Greenwich LifeSciences came out with big headlines on a breast cancer treatment. Keeping in mind the stock IPOd at $5, many might’ve expected a penny stock headline to trigger a small, profitable move. However, for GLSI stock, the price ran as high as $158.07.

That means even $100 invested into that stock when it was a higher-priced penny stock could’ve been worth over $3,000 in less than a week’s time. Obviously, you can do the math on other amounts but I think you can start getting the picture of how profitable penny stocks might become with the right company.

3. Mustang Bio Inc. (MBIO)

On December 14th, Rosenwald purchased 100,000 shares of MBIO stock at an average price of $2.66. This brought her total, direct holdings to 200,423; nearly doubling her position size.

Why might insiders find Onconova (NASDAQ:ONTX) one of the penny stocks to buy now?

This was filed with the FDA and seeks to gain permission to start Phase 1 trials in patients with breast cancer. With the company’s expectations of beginning in the first half of 2021, timing is important especially at year-end. There are already trials going on in China with Phase 1 enrollment going on right now. The company’s goal with this US trial is to complement the ongoing Phase 1 dose-escalation study underway in China by its partner HanX Biopharmaceuticals.
