Are These Robinhood Penny Stocks On Your List Right Now?
Robinhood and the penny stocks trading on it have come into question recently. With the increased scrutiny following the limiting trading of some 50 stocks, users remain unsure of the future. Do they stay with Robinhood, do they move onto other brokers? Whatever their decision will be, it doesn’t take away from the fact that there’s become a new definition for Nasdaq & NYSE penny stocks. These are now known as Robinhood penny stocks. For lack of a better description, this refers to listed stocks & therefore, we aren’t going to be talking about OTC stocks in this article.
Whether you use Robinhood, Webull, TDAmeritrade, ETrade, or any of the other brokers, there’s no arguing the fact that the stock market is red hot right now. We’re seeing new types of searches right now. This isn’t just “what are the top biotech stocks today.” Now it’s things like “most shorted stocks” or “high volume stocks.”
The interesting part is that there’s no industry theme, and it’s more a sympathy-type trade right now. The other day we saw an uptick in companies that had exposure to Alzheimer’s treatments. Some of them had abandoned their efforts a long time ago. But just because the “about” section mentioned the word, retail traders flocked to buy them. So what should you do with this information?
That is up to you. However, with so much hype in the market, what I will say is to be prepared for volatility. Many times it’s not a matter of if but when. GameStop and AMC were perfect examples. GME was trading above $400 & 4 sessions later, it dropped to the mid $70’s. If you know how to day trade, you know there’s 1 goal to remember: make money and repeat. With this in mind, is the momentum in these Robinhood penny stocks signaling new potential or raising a red flag? While you can decide that, will let you know what the buzz is so you’re up to speed.

Cross River Partners, the investment firm managed by Enservco’s Executive Chairman Rich Murphy, will convert its remaining subordinated debt and accumulated interest to Enservco equity.
