Tag: Hot Penny Stocks

Spikers are back in biotech penny stocks … but they may not stay up. Recently we’ve seen huge gap-ups fail at the open — leaving undisciplined traders holding a loser. Sadly, not enough traders cut losses quickly. Or they get greedy and hold a winner too long, letting it turn into a loser. If you’re in a winning trade, you MUST take profits along the way. I almost always sell too soon. That’s OK. My gains still add up over time.* It’s important to have realistic expectations and trading goals. Know your strengths and weaknesses. I know I’m not a patient trader. I trade the sketchiest stocks in the market, so I don’t hold my positions for long. But trading safely is important no matter which stocks you trade… My long-time friend and millionaire trader Paul Scolardi is on fire lately trading meme stocks.* He’s hosting a no-cost webinar tonight (July 28) at 8 p.m. Eastern to share his meme stock trading secrets.

Now, let’s get to the top biotech penny stocks to watch this week… Biotech Penny Stocks #1: Tyme Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: TYME) TYME develops cancer therapies. On July 26 it announced it was granted a patent for its targeted drug delivery method to treat cancer. Read the full press release here. The stock traded over 300 million in volume following the news. But it couldn’t hold its gains and has a history of failed spikes. I’ll watch it for a morning panic dip-buy opportunity. Biotech Penny Stocks #2: IMV Inc. (NASDAQ: IMV) IMV is a Canadian biotech company that develops cancer immunotherapies and vaccines. It spiked on high volume on July 26 with no news. It looks like the move was a short squeeze. It tanked a few days earlier on news of an offering at a deep discount. Without a catalyst to bring in volume and push it higher, it’s on watch for a panic dip-buy opportunity. Biotech Penny Stocks #3: EyeGate Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: EYEG) EYEG develops treatments for inflammatory and immune diseases in the eye and nervous system. The stock skyrocketed over 150% in after-hours on July 26 after the company announced it entered a non-binding letter of intent to acquire Bayon Therapeutics. The press release also announced, “Brian M Strem, Ph.D., Co-Founder, Director and former Chief Executive Officer of Okogen, Inc as well as Co-Founder and Managing Director of Bayon Therapeutics, was appointed as permanent President, Chief Executive Officer and board member, effective immediately.” It’s a low float stock with roughly five million shares. The move could’ve been part of a giant short squeeze. The stock panicked at the open and continued to fade all day. It had such a big move to the downside, I’ll watch for a potential bounce and quick short squeeze to the upside. Biotech Penny Stocks #4: Cerecor Inc. (NASDAQ: CERC) CERC develops treatments for rare diseases. In after-hours on July 26, the company released positive initial Phase 1b data for its potential treatment for Crohn’s disease. The stock spiked about $1 per share in a few minutes after the news was released. But it’s another stock that failed at the open and has a history of failed spikes. I’ll watch this one for a morning panic dip-buy opportunity. Biotech Penny Stocks #5: Innovation Pharmaceuticals Inc. (OTCQB: IPIX) IPIX develops therapies for inflammatory diseases and cancer. The most recent news on the company is from July 22. The company announced that doctors presented data supporting its drug’s antiviral potential at the American Society of Virology’s 40th Annual Meeting on July 21. I’ll watch IPIX for a potential multi-month breakout over 30 cents. Biotech Penny Stocks #6: Xenetic Biosciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: XBIO) XBIO develops treatments that target tumors. It ran on Friday, July 23 after its partner company announced it’s expanding its manufacturing facility. It was a StocksToTrade Breaking News Chat winner.* The chat guys alerted the news in premarket and the stock spiked from the low $2s to a high of $4.75. But it didn’t hold its gains and it closed at $2.52. The following Monday, the company announced a $12.5 million private placement. The press release said the company, “has entered into a definitive agreement with a single healthcare-focused institutional investor for the purchase of 4,629,630 shares of its common stock (or common stock equivalents) at a purchase price per share of $2.70.” The price of the offering was higher than the stock’s closing price on Friday. The agreement also included warrants to purchase another 4,629,630 shares of common stock at $3.30 per share. The stock spiked and squeezed after the news. It has a low float of roughly eight million shares, so it could squeeze higher if the company announces more news. But I won’t chase it. I’ll watch for a panic dip-buy opportunity. Biotech Penny Stocks #7: Oragenics, Inc. (NYSE: OGEN) Oragenics develops antibiotics to fight infections. It’s also developing a potential COVID-19 vaccine. The stock spiked 50% on July 27 after the company announced it entered into a licensing agreement with the National Research Council of Canada to rapidly develop SARS-CoV-2 vaccines. Read the full press release here. The stock had a huge gap up on high volume following the news. But it’s another stock that has a history of failing to hold its gains. And it closed near its daily low. I’ll watch for a dip-buy opportunity into a big panic. Biotech Penny Stocks #8: Dyadic International, Inc. (NASDAQ: DYAI) DYAI develops and sells enzymes and proteins. The company also conducts research and development of vaccines. On July 27 the company announced a licensing agreement to develop, commercialize, and distribute vaccines in Africa. Read the full press release here. The stock climbed as high as 60% following the news and traded almost 100 million in volume. And yep, it’s another failed spiker. It’s another one I’ll watch for a panic dip buy. Biotech Penny Stocks #9: ObsEva SA (NASDAQ: OBSV) OBSV develops therapies to improve women’s reproductive health. On July 27 the company announced it entered a license agreement with another company to develop an investigational agent to potentially treat preterm labor. “If approved, it has potential to be a first-in-class innovation for this common and serious condition with no approved therapies for acute treatment of preterm labor in the United States.” Read the full press release here. The stock gapped up and climbed over 30% following the news. It has a history of multi-day runs so I’ll watch for it to potentially continue higher. Biotech Penny Stocks #10: Institute of Biomedical Research Corp. (OTCPK: MRES) MRES is a biomedical research and analytics company. The stock bounced 100% on July 27 with no news. It’s following my 7-step pennystocking framework to a T. I’ll watch it for a dip-buy opportunity.

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. They can have huge price swings. One minute they’re flying high on positive news — the next they’re down due to bad trial results, side effects, or stock dilution.
