5 Hot Penny Stocks to Consider Now

This past year has given a whole new meaning to hot penny stocks.

I think I’ve seen more opportunities in the 2020–2021 market than I’ve seen in a while. Maybe ever. But that doesn’t mean it’s easy trading.

There’s a common theme with newbie traders. Many don’t want to put the work in to find a real strategy … They’d rather chase hot picks or hold and hope on a losing trade. Some newbie traders might have what it takes, but maybe they don’t know how to find hot penny stocks to buy.

If that applies to you, you’re in the right place.

There’s a TON of potential for hot penny stocks in 2021, and I want to share my watchlist with you. The markets usually take a break this time of year, but as of now, they’re still chugging along.

So let’s look at some hot penny stocks today and how you can learn to build your own hot penny stock watchlist.

How to Find Penny Stocks to Buy

Say a friend tells you about some hot penny stocks. They tell you these stocks have major growth potential and now’s the best time to get in.

Does that sound like the best way to find penny stocks?

I hope not. But I’ve seen SO many newbie traders blindly follow others to find the ‘hottest’ stocks.

Most of the time, when you hear about a stock from someone else, it’s already too late. So buying would mean you’re breaking a key rule by chasing.

Don’t be that trader.

Be prepared so you can find stocks that fit your strategy. This is why I HIGHLY recommend using a stock scanner, one that’s user-friendly.

StocksToTrade is my all-time favorite scanner. Not only does it scan for penny stocks, but it also has features like Breaking News Chat and Small Cap Rockets. These services alert news and stocks with a ton of momentum.

I use StocksToTrade every day. And I credit its Breaking News feature for a BIG portion of my 2020–2021 trading profits*. The trading pros who run it alert critical news catalysts FAST.

Full disclosure: I’m an investor in STT and helped develop it for the penny stocks I love to trade.

Want to see how it can help you trade each and every day? Check it out for yourself. A 14-day trial of StocksToTrade + Breaking News Chat is just $17.

Or you can get just StocksToTrade for 14 days for just $7. But consider all the hot news alerts you could miss … Now, let’s get to that watchlist.

5 Hot Penny Stocks to Consider in 2021

Before we go on, I gotta throw out a reminder…

Only trade a stock if it fits your plan perfectly. None of the stocks on this list are guaranteed to run. Anything can happen in trading … I’m simply watching these for potential future setups.

Trade with your head and always do your due diligence.

You might’ve caught wind of this OTC runner when it went from 2 cents to almost 70 cents. If not, maybe you saw it bounce back from 10 cents to 60 cents.

Didn’t catch AABB on either of those moves? Don’t stress. I think it could have the potential to find support and possibly break out to new highs in the future.

It will be tough, but the price action on this stock has been impressive so far. Even with the overhead resistance, it went green for a week straight.

I’ll watch for major news or maybe another big first green day.

Hot Penny Stocks to Consider in 2021 #2: Tautachrome Inc (OTCPK: TTCM)

TTCM is an awesome former runner from 2019. I love former runners. They can show you key areas of support and resistance on the chart.

Also, traders might think “it ran before … maybe it can again.” This mindset can create a self-fulfilling prophecy with some stocks.

This stock is holding up well over a penny, and the daily chart looks like it could be a potential breakout setup.

But I won’t be speculative … I’ll only take the trade if the setup is there. With TTCM, I’ll watch for a big morning spike with high volume and preferably a news catalyst.

Hot Penny Stocks to Consider in 2021 #3: Cinedigm Corp (NASDAQ: CIDM)

Back in 2020, this stock had a huge gap up but went red on the day. Ever since then it’s been consolidating, figuring out which direction it wants to go. But after finding support at 50 cents, and then $1, it could be ready to make a move.

As of this writing, CIDM’s approaching a breakout near the $2.33 high from February 2021.

After a few slow weeks, it’s starting to get volume again. Who knows where it could go next.

But if you don’t have a solid trading plan, don’t trade. I want to see it hold up as it approaches the breakout. A big green day with breaking news could be a great signal to trade.

Hot Penny Stocks to Consider in 2021 #4: Halberd Corp (OTCPK: HALB)

HALB has been in serious consolidation since its multi-day run in October 2020. Now, it’s finally broken out to new highs.

I think this could have the potential to be a multi-day runner. There’s some resistance on the chart, but it’s from years back and pretty small. As of now, it looks like the sky could be the limit.

But I won’t just chase it up … That’s not a strategy for these stocks. I want to see the stock hold up above the breakout and shout “I want to go further” at me.

With enough interest and a solid dip-buying opportunity, I might take the trade. But I’ll keep tight risk and cut losses quickly.

Hot Penny Stocks to Consider in 2021 #5: Atari SA (OTCPK: PONGF)

PONGF is like a blast from the past. When I first saw Atari was trading on the OTC markets, I was shocked. Then it had an impressive breakout and I was even more shocked!

It’s gone from roughly 40 cents to over $1 this year … And I don’t think it’s quite done. Atari is a big name for the OTC markets. The brand alone could attract buyers because of familiarity.

After it settles and finds support, I think it could potentially have another breakout.

This ticker brings out my nostalgic side … I remember Atari from my childhood. But at this point in my journey, I’m too experienced to chase. I’ve developed a strict mindset.

I’ll watch it going forward. First, I want to see a new major support level form. After that, we’ll have to wait and see what happens. But no matter what, I’ll only take the trade if I have an edge.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hot Penny Stocks

*Please note: My results, along with the results of top traders, are far from typical. Individual results will vary. See all my trades here. And see top trader Tim Grittani’s profit chart here. Remember, most traders lose money. These top traders and I have the benefit of many years of hard work and dedication. Trading is inherently risky.

The Bottom Line on Hot Penny Stocks

Penny stocks can offer some of the best risk/reward opportunities out there. Yes, many are crap. That’s why I don’t invest in them. I stick with day trading.

The goal is to find these penny stocks before they potentially run. Want to try sifting through a thousand charts on your own? Be my guest.

If not, use a stock screener to narrow down your search. StocksToTrade can help you find the stocks that fit your setups.

Most importantly, never fall in love with these stocks. They come and go. And many serve just one purpose … Using toxic financing to raise money. It may be immoral, but it’s legal. And if you aren’t careful, you could take a bad trade.

You don’t want to be on the wrong side of a junk stock.
