Who doesn’t love a good deal? Discounts at the grocery store (especially in this economy), clearance items at big-box retailers, and a nice auto sale deal price are excellent. So why not apply this same strategy to investments? You could take Warren Buffett’s approach and find stocks that are “cheap” on paper. Their stock prices are significantly “low” based on the company’s intrinsic value. If you’re investing in stocks, this strategy has become tried and true by value investors. But what about others?
Penny stocks are sought after for their low price and high growth potential. It can be challenging to find the best cheap stocks to buy. However, traders use plenty of strategies to find names to put on their lists. One of these strategies is “following” the money. In this case, the method involves sifting through corporate filings to find insiders and “whales” investing big dough into companies.
A few days ago, we published the article “Best Penny Stocks To Buy? Einhorn, Lynch, Cohen & Dalio Own These 5” and discussed some of Wall Street’s famous names who are actually investing in penny stocks. So it isn’t as uncommon as you might think for stocks under $5 to be targets of big investment. Today we look at a handful of stocks to watch based on insider trading.
