7 Penny Stocks That Don’t Care About Robinhood

As you read this, Vladimir Tenev, CEO of the Robinhood trading app, will be testifying before Congress. The company’s role in the GameStop (NYSE: GME) short squeeze will be called into question.

However, the real issue is the right of traders to buy and sell the stocks of their choice. In the case of Robinhood, some traders buy a lot of penny stocks. Although definitions vary, penny stocks are generally considered to be stocks that trade for less than $ 10 per share. These actions are largely ignored by the investment community.

One of the reasons is that many of these stocks are cheap for a reason. For example, the company may have an outdated business model. In other cases, they operate in a very small niche market that doesn’t generate a lot of income.

And most of these stocks are ignored by the investment community. They are simply not considered important enough to spend time debating.

But some penny stocks are getting the attention of Wall Street. And they are largely ignored by the day trading community. The purpose of this special talk is to point you to penny stocks that have a history that “smart money†says will eventually trade at much higher prices.

And that’s why you should watch them now.
