Penny Stocks News

Earnings winners are the top stocks to watch today. Plus short squeezes and news are pushing massive moves in stocks. It’s nice to see some runners back in the market. But discipline is key when trading these stocks. You must be meticulous with your entries. Never chase. These volatile stocks can crash hard. We saw a perfect example yesterday with Cocrystal Pharma, Inc. (NASDAQ: COCP). These companies won’t hesitate to throw a secondary offering at the market. They don’t care about shareholders. So don’t buy any of the BS news or try to dissect earnings reports. Trade the patterns and price action then move on.
