3 Penny Stocks That Investors Are Eyeing Right Now 

With 2021 moving faster than ever, investors continue to look for the best penny stocks to buy. Although it can be challenging given the current market conditions, there are plenty of ways to find value with penny stocks

The most impactful factor on all stocks right now and in the past year and a half has been the pandemic. As a result of the Delta variant, case numbers have skyrocketed nationwide. This has served to incite fear and a movement toward potentially more stable penny stocks and blue chips

But, as we all know, large movements in the stock market created by external events, can be profitable for those who know how to take advantage. And because penny stocks don’t like to play by the traditional market rules, there are plenty of intraday movers that investors can look into. But of course, traders need to understand that the market is moving differently now than it did in the pre-pandemic era.
