After a less than stellar day of trading penny stocks and blue chips due to a new Covid variant, there could be potential on the other side. Often when we see major stock market drops, many penny stocks can climb after the dust has settled. But, to understand which could have potential, it’s important to consider how the news will affect certain industries. 

Today, news came out that a new Covid variant known as B.1.1.529, which originated in South Africa, could be more transmissible and evade our current vaccine technology. But, it is also too soon to fully understand the potential outcomes of this variant. This uncertainty is sparking major market moves including the largest drop in the DOW that we’ve seen in 2021. As a result, investors continue to look for penny stocks that could see potential in the short or medium term.
