3 Hot Penny Stocks to Add to Your Watchlist in Late May 

With another day of trading penny stocks here, there is a lot for investors to know. In the past few weeks, buying and selling penny stocks has been extremely difficult given the amount of volatility in the stock market during that time. While today, we are seeing some bullish sentiment with the S&P 500 up slightly, the market is still fluctuating greatly. 

To make money with penny stocks, investors need to have a firm understanding of what they’re buying, and more importantly, when to buy and sell. Penny stocks are all about timing. If you can buy a stock at $0.50 and sell it at $1.00, you’ve just made a 100% return on your investment. However, if you buy a penny stock at $1.00 and it drops to $0.50, you’ve just lost 50% of your money.

Another energy penny stock that is seeing sizable gains right now is RIG stock. At midday, shares of RIG had shot up by over 3.3% to more than $4.16. Since it announced its Q1 financial results on May 2nd, the company has seen some negative trading patterns. And this makes sense given that its loss in that time was greater than expected.

And while this was not unexpected considering the current state of the economy, it is disheartening for investors. So, considering that, will RIG be on your list of penny stocks to buy or not?
