My stocks to watch today list is full of some big-name companies. But don’t let that scare you off. Although volatility is something penny stocks are usually well known for, this volatile market means even big company stocks are making big moves. So even though some stocks on my watchlist are a little higher priced, don’t rule out their potential. Especially for stocks in hot sectors. Also, keep your eyes on the overall markets. They’re getting overextended. And as you’ll find out in my watchlist, a lot of the larger-cap stocks follow the markets. So don’t trade against the trend. And no matter what stocks you trade, rule #1 always applies. Now, let’s get to my list of top stocks to watch today... 10 Stocks to Watch for Thursday, January 28, 2021 Remember, this is a watchlist, not a ‘must trade’ list. I’m not always right, and I don’t trade everything I watch. That’s why you should never blindly follow or buy anyone’s stock picks — even mine. But there’s always something you can learn, so study up! Watch out for patterns that fit your strategy. Always have a trading plan for every trade. Here are some resources to help you get started: 13 Stock Chart Patterns You Should Know: A Complete Guide 8 Day Trading Strategies You Need To Know Trading Plan: How to Create One in 2021 (Step by Step) If you’ve been following my blog and lessons, you know I love to trade low-priced stocks. (To learn more about trading penny stocks, get my FREE guide here.) But you’ll notice that not all of the stocks on this list are technically penny stocks. Even if I rarely trade higher-priced stocks, their movements can still affect stocks within my price range, so they’re worth watching. Here are my 10 top stocks to watch today... Stocks to Watch Today #1: Transocean Ltd. (NYSE: RIG) RIG is an offshore oil and gas drilling company. On January 27, the stock traded high volume. It had a breakout over $3.80 and made a high of $4.19. Energy stocks have been moving recently so I’ll watch this one for a breakout over the $4.19 high. Stocks to Watch Today #2: Naked Brand Group Limited (NASDAQ: NAKD) Naked Brand Group Limited is a consumer cyclical stock. It traded huge volume on January 27 and had a multi-day breakout. NAKD has a history of making big moves and not holding its highs. But in this market, it's worth watching for continuation. I’ll be even more interested if it can breakout over $1. Stocks to Watch Today #3: Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions Inc. (OTCPK: AITX) AITX is in the hot tech sector. It’s been on my watchlist for a while now and I’ve traded it a few times. My most recent trade was on Wednesday when I bought the morning panic and sold into the bounce for a profit of $5,314.* (*Please note: My results are far from typical. Individual results will vary. Most traders lose money. I have the benefit of years of hard work, dedication, and experience. Trading is inherently risky. Do your due diligence and never risk more than you can afford to lose.) After the morning panic, the stock held up well. I’ll watch for it to retest its highs of 21 cents and possibly a multi-day breakout. Stocks to Watch Today #4: Sirius XM Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: SIRI) Sirius XM made new 52-week highs on Wednesday but then retreated throughout the day. New highs could be a catalyst for more of a move. I’ll watch for the stock to retrace back up, but the best trades are likely in the morning volatility. This stock has a ton of shares in its float so it needs high volume for big moves. Stocks to Watch Today #5: Clover Health Investments, Corp. (NASDAQ: CLOV) CLOV is in the health insurance business and a recent IPO. It has a relatively low float of just over 11 million shares, so it has the potential for a volatile move. I’ll be watching to see if it can get over the $16 resistance area. If it can get above that, $17.24 is the all-time high. Stocks to Watch Today #6: FuelCell Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: FCEL) FCEL designs and manufactures stationary fuel cell power plants, so it's an alternative energy play. It’s been up-trending since November 2020, and on Wednesday, it had a multi-day breakout over $22.75. The stock retreated in the afternoon as the overall markets dipped. I’ll be watching for it to bounce back to its highs, especially if the overall markets are back up on Thursday. Stocks to Watch Today #7: Optec International, Inc. (OTCPK: OPTI) OPTI is another stock that’s been on my watchlist for a while. If you want to get my daily watchlist sent to you every morning, subscribe here. This stock has a multi-day breakout level set at 25 cents. It was down on Wednesday, but so were the overall markets. The stock is sitting on the support level of 20 cents. I’ll watch for that to hold and for the stock to retest the highs and possibly breakout. But if it gaps down on Thursday, there may be a morning panic dip buy opportunity. Stocks to Watch Today #8: Virgin Galactic Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: SPCE) Virgin Galactic Holdings, Inc. made new all-time highs on Wednesday, trading from a low of just over $40 to a high of almost $60 per share. The overall markets brought it back down in the afternoon. I’ll be watching to see if dips find support. It could squeeze more shorts back to its highs. Stocks to Watch Today #9: Lumen Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: LUMN) On January 25 Lumen announced this contract news with the state of Nebraska. The stock had a big move the following day. On Wednesday, it continued its uptrend. It had a multi-month breakout over $15.20. $16.60 is the new resistance area to watch for a breakout. Stocks to Watch Today #10: Workhorse Group Inc. (NASDAQ: WKHS) WKHS is in the hot EV sector. EV stocks have seen big moves on President Biden's promises to pursue green energy solutions. On January 26, WKHS had a breakout to new all-time highs on high volume. The momentum continued the following day. The stock closed lower on Wednesday with the overall markets. Now it’s a matter of whether the stock can continue its momentum and retest the new high of $40.45. How I Find Stocks to Trade There’s no big secret behind how I find stocks to trade.
