3 Hot Penny Stocks to Watch as October Comes to an End
With October coming to an end, there are plenty of penny stocks that investors are watching right now. Thanks to the massive surge in the market boosting share prices of companies like Digital World Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ:DWAC) and Phunware Inc. (NASDAQ:PHUN), penny stocks and other small-cap companies have gained attention from investors. To understand which penny stocks could have the most potential, it’s best to consider the overarching environment in the stock market, including sentiment-based trends.
For one, we have the pandemic to consider. While it is not as much of an issue as it was only a few months ago, it is still a major driver for shaky price action.

The next aspect to consider is the high rate of inflation we are witnessing right now. This has led many to precious metals stocks, as they often provide a less volatile option in times of economic turmoil. So, while there are a lot of positive signs with the economy right now, there is also a great deal of fear abound. This fear is causing major volatility and large intraday fluctuations. But, with the right trading strategy on hand, investors can learn to take advantage of this volatility, and make money with penny stocks.
Too often, traders will turn to stocks simply because they found them online and without doing the proper research. While this can be profitable for some, those who consistently see gains are the ones that put in the time. With all of this in mind, let’s take a look at three penny stocks to add to your watchlist right now.
