Watchlists-Penny Stock Investment Strategy

The Race For Rare Earth. My Market Watchlist.

Something big is brewing in Washington.

And hardly anyone’s talking about it.

Behind the headlines, the second Trump administration quietly launched an aggressive economic strategy to reshape America’s industrial future …

And it has massive implications for the market.

MP Materials (NYSE: MP) sits at the center of this momentous shift in U.S. industrial policy: To secure a domestic supply chain for rare earth elements.

And now the company is backed directly by the U.S. Department of Defense.

MP owns the only U.S. rare-earth mine of scale, the historic Mountain Pass site in California. And thanks to the groundbreaking deal with the DoD, MP is positioned as America’s national champion for rare earth magnet production.

That includes guaranteed revenue, equity investment from the government, and priority buyer agreements.

The structure of this deal is unprecedented. Over the next decade, MP will receive billions in direct and indirect support:

  • A 10-year purchase commitment for 7,000 tons of magnets annually.
  • A $140 million guaranteed profit per year.
  • A 15% equity stake held by the U.S. government.
  • A $150 million low-interest loan to scale production and reduce Chinese dependency.

MP is now uniquely insulated and leveraged in a market where most of the world still relies on China.

As geopolitical tensions rise and demand for EVs, defense tech, and consumer electronics accelerates, rare earths have become the “new oil.”

And the best part is …

This story isn’t priced in yet.

That spells opportunity for traders who show up prepared.

For example, I’m not even looking to trade MP. The share price is too high and it doesn’t move enough intraday.

The real moves come from my watchlist of low-priced rare-earth stocks.

Pay attention before the crowd piles in!

My Rare-Earth Watchlist

Already in 2025, MP spiked 420%*.

That’s an impressive run. But it took months. And at its current share price of around $60, the stock only moves a few percentage points a day.

I’m looking for cheaper stocks that are capable of larger moves in a shorter time frame.

That way, I can take advantage of the larger gains with a shorter exposure to the market.

My trade patterns tell me exactly when to buy and when to sell. All I have to do is point my strategies at the hottest rare-earth stocks.

There are three main tickers I’m watching:

Rare-Earth Stock #1:

Critical Metals Corp. (NASDAQ: CRML) already spiked 440%* since mid-June, outpacing MP in less than three months.

And the share price is currently under $7 per share.

Look at the chart of CRML below, every candle represents one trading day:

The stock hit $7.68 per share on August 27, that’s the breakout level.

It’s consolidating around $6 right now. A surge toward the highs off of this support with strong volume could signal a massive breakout to the upside.

Prompt my AI trading bot with the ticker. It will give you a smart entry that mitigates risk.

Rare-Earth Stock #2:

NioCorp Developments Ltd. (NASDAQ: NB) already spiked 110%* since mid-July. And the price just pushed to new local highs on September 12.

It’s currently still trading below $6 per share. Look at the chart below:

I’m looking for continuation moves on this stock as early as today, September 15.

More Breaking News

Rare-Earth Stock #3:

Lastly, Rare Element Resources Ltd. (OTCQB: REEMF) is an OTC stock that’s already spiked 220%* in 2025.

And it showed us a lot of followup spikes afterward.

Now, OTC stocks trade a little differently than listed stocks on the NYSE or the Nasdaq.

There’s less liquidity, which means the stocks can follow my patterns more closely. But when there’s too little liquidity, it can also make entries and exits more difficult.

We want to make sure an OTC stock is trading at least 1 million shares on the day before making a play. That usually gives us enough liquidity to get in and out.

Keep an eye on the volume before you make a trade.

Take a look at the chart below:

Attention: I’m not holding any shares of these stocks.

I’m a trader. Not an investor.

My specialty is growing small accounts with large-percent-gain stocks.

I wait until the price action matches one of my trade patterns, then I make a planned entry that minimizes my overall risk.

This strategy takes some getting used to, but it’s not rocket science.

My >millionaire students and I, we’re not geniuses. We just learned how to take the meat of the move, with discipline, from the largest stock spikes.

And my newest students have it easier than ever …

After months of training, prompting, and tweaking, traders can prompt my AI bot with the hottest stock in the market. And it will give you a trade plan as if you asked me directly.

>Prompt the AI with the CRML ticker.

Get in front of this massive trend in the market.

Cheers

The available research on day trading suggests that most active traders lose money. Fees and overtrading are major contributors to these losses.

A 2000 study called “Trading is Hazardous to Your Wealth: The Common Stock Investment Performance of Individual Investors” evaluated 66,465 U.S. households that held stocks from 1991 to 1996. The households that traded most averaged an 11.4% annual return during a period where the overall market gained 17.9%. These lower returns were attributed to overconfidence.

A 2014 paper (revised 2019) titled “Learning Fast or Slow?” analyzed the complete transaction history of the Taiwan Stock Exchange between 1992 and 2006. It looked at the ongoing performance of day traders in this sample, and found that 97% of day traders can expect to lose money from trading, and more than 90% of all day trading volume can be traced to investors who predictably lose money. Additionally, it tied the behavior of gamblers and drivers who get more speeding tickets to overtrading, and cited studies showing that legalized gambling has an inverse effect on trading volume.

A 2019 research study (revised 2020) called “Day Trading for a Living?” observed 19,646 Brazilian futures contract traders who started day trading from 2013 to 2015, and recorded two years of their trading activity. The study authors found that 97% of traders with more than 300 days actively trading lost money, and only 1.1% earned more than the Brazilian minimum wage ($16 USD per day). They hypothesized that the greater returns shown in previous studies did not differentiate between frequent day traders and those who traded rarely, and that more frequent trading activity decreases the chance of profitability.

These studies show the wide variance of the available data on day trading profitability. One thing that seems clear from the research is that most day traders lose money .
