What Are Biotech Penny Stocks?
Biotech penny stocks are stocks of small, developmental companies. These companies are usually desperate for cash. They need it to continue developing products and for testing and trials. Trade them with caution…
They’re known to be extremely volatile. One minute they’re flying high on positive news — the next they’re down due to bad trial results, side effects, or stock dilution.
That’s why I ride the hype but never believe it.
Penny stocks are some of the sketchiest stocks in the market. But I know how this niche works. I’ve been trading penny stocks for 20+ years…
I started trading in high school. By the time I graduated college I had grown my small account from $12,415 to roughly $2 million. Read all about it in my best-selling no-cost book, “An American Hedge Fund.”
I’ve now made over $7.3 million in profits. And I teach students how to trade with a small account in my Trading Challenge. I have 20+ millionaire students. Find out if you’ve got what it takes to be next…

Top Biotech Penny Stocks to Watch
I missed the monkeypox run in May.
I didn’t take it seriously. I didn’t think that the media could whip up so much fear around a rare, treatable disease…
That was my mistake. I’m sharing it with you because I learn from my mistakes, and you can too.
I let my personal feelings get in the way. I donate all my trading proceeds to charity. I started Karmagawa, an aid group which has given more than $7 million to 80 charities around the world. I can think of literally DOZENS of things for us to worry about more than monkeypox.
But that isn’t how the market works. And penny stocks — the stocks I’ve traded for most of my career earnings — are driven more by hype than most.
The monkeypox sector is still going strong three months later, driven by climbing cases and no shortage of coverage. The president recently declared monkeypox a public health emergency…
Lately, it’s become one of the market’s hottest sectors. But be warned:
This is a watchlist only. There’s no guarantee these stocks will offer a trading opportunity. Keep them on your watchlist, but only trade when you see YOUR best setup. When there are no truly great trades, use your time to study.

Now, let’s get to the top biotech penny stocks to watch this month.
Biotech Penny Stocks #1: TOMI Environmental Solutions Inc (NASDAQ: TOMZ)
You might remember TOMZ from the early days of the COVID pandemic…
I certainly do. I’ve made $7,725 trading this stock over the past two-plus years.
This company has only one move. PR about their Steramist sterilizing spray was a COVID play in March 2020…
In August 2022 they pulled the same trick out again — this time targeting monkeypox!
- TOMZ is a former supernova. I traded it for small gains in the first week of August — check out this post on my strategy. I’ll continue watching it to see if it can breakout again
- There’s a lot of fear going around about monkeypox. Some are even making false claims about it being airborne… Though these claims have been debunked they can still hype a stock like TOMZ up
Biotech Penny Stocks #2: Regen BioPharma Inc (OTCPK: RGBP)
I have good memories of RGBP…
Really happy with my $RGBP trade, I didn’t catch the top but sold pretty well in the .02s. Sometimes it’s not even about the $ made (and remember I donate ALL of my trading profits to charity these days), a well executed trade from start to finish just feels SO GOOD!
— Timothy Sykes (@timothysykes) May 7, 2021
It climbed all the way to $0.08 in 2021. Through the year, I traded it for more than $13,000.
I traded it for a small loss on its recent run. I cut my losses quickly, which is the right way to trade this stock…
I would have turned a profit if I’d waited, but I’d already blown through my risk. Hope is not a strategy.
I don’t know if RGBP will repeat 2021’s run. It still moves on news, so I’m still watching it.
- RGBP keeps filing cancer treatment patents, and they keep making this stock move
- Even penny stock investors are getting wise to RGBP’s pumps. This is a company with one employee, and he’s not even a scientist!
Biotech Penny Stocks #3: Geovax Labs Inc. (NASDAQ: GOVX)
Along with SIGA Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: SIGA), GOVX has become one of the monkeypox sector leaders.
How come it hasn’t had the same come up as SIGA? Right after both stocks ran in May, GOVX diluted their stock. It wasn’t the first time this year either.
That sketchiness can make for some awesome plays. Just check out the 674% run that GOVX went on from July 25 to August 2! That was only possible because it had fallen to $0.62 a share.
After it reached $4.80 it fell apart again. Millionaire trader Mark Croock still found a great panic move to trade — he broke it down for Challenge students here.
- GOVX is working on COVID, monkeypox AND cancer treatments
- It’s also shown a willingness to dilute, which brings danger but also a good amount of volatility
Biotech Penny Stocks #4: Maia Biotechnology Inc. (AMEX: MAIA)
MAIA is a recent IPO with a low float. Along with NA, HKD, and VRAX, low-float IPOs are emerging as a hot sector of their own.
MAIA nearly hit $10 on its third trading day. It’s since cooled down, but it’s repeatedly shown it can spike on decent volume.
- MAIA is preparing for Phase 2 trials on its most developed cancer drug. Without institutional investors, it will be a long while before it comes to market… although I think that’s a longshot in any timeframe
- The seven million float is the part I’m more interested in. The chart is young but it’s shown potential to run so far
Biotech Penny Stocks #5: Applied DNA Sciences Inc. (NASDAQ: APDN)
APDN had been trending down since the pandemic, when its testing services were more in demand.
That changed after news about a monkeypox PCR test being developed by the company. The stock gained over 870% in the days following.
It was quick to take advantage with a $12 million public offering. That stopped it from breaking above $7, but it’s managed to hang around. Let’s see what the next piece of news can do.
- APDN isn’t working on a vaccine; I have more faith in their PCR test actually getting to market. They’ve previously gotten FDA approval for their COVID PCR test
- This isn’t the first monkeypox PCR test, and testing capacity is already decent. But if monkeypox continues to spread, APDN’s test may become more valuable

Actually on 6M 1D chart BRCHF looks like Supernova to me. I could be wrong
Anyone who bought on January 19 got CRUSHED. There are a TON of promoters pumping it. I’ll watch but remember… ride the hype but NEVER believe it!
Thank you Tim! Your energy is contagious. I love it. BRCHF does this one look like a “Stair Stepper” to you? Especially on a 30D 1M chart. Just a thought. I won’t short it just, yet, but wanted to see if you agree. Thx
what do you think about AWLIF
Get in my Trading Challenge for Q&A.
Thank you tim and Godbless. Im trying so hard to learn this, while holding a full time job with a wife and kids. Wish i had the money to just quit my job and focus on your classes and research lol. Thanks for everything you do for charity too. God bless!
Thank you so much Tim! I love all your watch lists. They get me headed in the right direction While I’m in the process of becoming self sufficient.
What is your opinion on ECOR?
Tim, what are your thoughts on $ATOS? Thanks!
Get in my https://tim.ly/sykesmc Trading Challenge for Q&A.
Hey, tim. Nice post!it’s really amazing and complete. My personal opinion on biotech is that they usually goes up, since it’s a raising niche. It’s hard too choose too, there are lot of good companies out there.
Stocks don’t always go up so be sure to lock in profits along the way. As for the actual companies, expect the worst and you’ll never be disappointed.
Hi Tim,
I love receiving this email each week and find it to be valuable information. I am new to penny stocks but I was wondering if you believe a person that also has a full time job can do well in the penny stock market? It seems that you have to be able to move fast when buying or selling, and I’m not sure if waiting until after work each day would suffice. Your opinion is appreciated.
You definitely need to find a strategy that works around your schedule. Can it be done? Yes. Will it be more of a challenge? Yes. You don’t have to sit in front of your computer every minute of the trading day, but you will need to find some time during trading hours. Preferably the first and last hour of the trading day. If you’re not able to do that at first, that’s ok. Focus on studying for now. The market will still be there when you’re ready.
So this list, based upon the Q&A goes back 6 months? And that’s useful how?
This list gets updated once a week. Yes, the post stays the same. But the list is new. Look at the charts. Do better.
Knowledge supports growth & development.
I respect that you have guts enough to put out a watch list. I’ve been doing a trial with your lists and not much yet, but appreciate your articulation of choices. When I start to win with pennys again I’ll join. Thx
We’d all be rich if every stock on a watchlist panned out. The point is to watch and learn. Remember, my favorite pattern is morning panics. Sometimes I’m waiting for the big crack rather than expecting it to keep going up. Trade safely and ALWAYS follow rule #1!
Thanks Tim
Could you profile the following?
TMDI-Titan Medical
BIOL-Biolase
If/when they’re in play. Right now, TMDI is 52% off its 52-week high with terrible volume. BIOL is also 50%+ off its highs with terrible volume. Focus big % gainers with news and volume!
Thanks Tim always helpful
Tim like what u give me on my watchlist m still keeping my head of above water just breaking even most of the time but that not my problem an maybe u can put me in my place i m found my starting to be a little greedy instead of making 50 buck here an 100 dollars there if u know what i mean an take what i can make an run with what i have i want to make more then 50 buck here an 100 dollars there m looking a head of making two or three hundreds at a time an i still have not learn my lesson this is wen i loose my ass an a third of my cash if possible help or any suggestion that can put me back on track or puy my self in my place
Focus on the process instead of the money. What are you learning from the trades you take? If something isn’t working, try something different. And if you need to size down or paper trade for a while, DO IT!
Thanks
I’m still working on grasping those concepts into my trading. It would be awesome if you were to visit Rochester, NY and host a bit of a weekend camp tutoring for those who are hearing-impaired/deaf who wishes to learn more about trading. Would you consider that?
how often is this blog for the Biotech penny stock update?
Every Wednesday.
Thank you Mr Sykes : your service and compass, evokes the term :
‘Greatness in humanity is often associated with those that do what others either ….won’t, or can’t.’ Keep up this great work.
Student Trader Ireland ( Paper trading two years !!!)
Thanks Tim for showing me the ropes and becoming clear what needs to be done and hopefully become the next millionaire.
I’m chasing your every move, Tim.
BIOTECH STOCKS CAN PROVIDE LOT OF OPPORTUNITY IF TRADED WITH PRECAUTIONS AND STUDY. AT THIS MOMENT SOME STOCKS HAVE MOVED UPWARDS.
Thank you for your watch list. Gives me research targets and hope to profit from them soon. I’m retired, starting small and just began trading last week.
I have been getting you picks for 2 weeks now and I can’t wait for more. I have a lot of material to go through as you know but am trading some and things are working. It’s hard to sell a pick that is going up but I did today and just about hit the high. It just hard to sell. I have to get disciplined. Thank you for you information.
Hi, Tim, thanks for sharing this knowledge. But still, there is one question left. WHY? Why all that breakouts and volume happened on January 15? Looks odd, as for me. Very, very odd.
Join my https://tim.ly/sykesmc Trading Challenge for Q&A!
They are the future market for biotech but one have to be careful when trading them. They sound very good!
I have been trading penny stocks for several years now. I did notice the street has sell on everyone of your picks to watch. I didn’t think the street even gave their 2 c on penny stocks. I love trading them but I am not that good yet. I did turn 11000 into 49000 since may of 2020. Buy far my best. I am going to pay attention and try to learn. Thank you
thanks a lot. God bless you
Thank you Tim, always helpful!
