4 Penny Stocks For Your May 2021 Watchlist

Penny stocks remain some of the most popular assets for investors to consider. This is because the potential for short-term gains can be greater when compared to blue chips. To be considered a penny stock, a company must be valued at under $5 per share. These cheap stocks allow investors to enter the market at a much lower cost than traditional blue chips. 

What turns some away from penny stocks is the risk that comes with them. Stocks under $5 can move greatly throughout a given trading day. For example, it’s common to see a penny stock jump from $0.10 to $0.20, doubling in a single day. However, it’s not common to see a blue-chip jump from $100 to $200 in a single day. 

To help mitigate risk, investors should have an investing strategy to use alongside a trading education. Research is an essential step when investing, no matter what. The best way to secure potential profit, is to understand a company wholly. Look out for things like financial reports, filings, news, rumors, and speculation.
