If the first week of 2021 is the sign of things to come this year, penny stock traders and investors are going to make a lot of money. 4 penny stocks that really lit up the first week of 2021 were BTCS (OTCMKTS: BTCS), CloudCommerce (OTCMKTS: CLWD), Future FinTech Group (NASDAQ: FTFT), and LM Funding America (NASDAQ: LMFA).
HOW TO TRADE PENNY STOCKS
First up, it’s important to understand that trading penny stocks are not the same as trading blue chips. As we have stressed repeatedly to our subscribers, the key to trading penny stocks is finding momentum BEFORE it happens and then be patient.We got our subscribers in early on TSNP, which you can read our latest here, and ENZC, which you can read about here. It's also best to own a portfolio of quality penny stocks. For some that can be as many as 10 to 20 or more penny stocks.Now, when we say that we find momentum BEFORE it happens, we are investors looking to position our subscribers BEFORE the move happens. This is where the big money is made and why so many of our subscribers are sitting on gains of over 7750% in ENZC and over 18,650% in TSNP.We always alert our subscribers first before we publish for our regular readers. This is the value of having a subscription to Insider Financial, which you can sign up for here. We alert our subscribers with our best ideas before our regular readers.Now we know many prefer to day trade, but we are not day traders here at Insider Financial. It doesn't suit our personality and we don't like the intraday moves markets make. We have found we made more money being patient and ignoring the day to day noise of the markets.If you want to day trade, Insider Financial is not the place for you. When it comes to day trading, and if that's what you are after, we recommend the folks at True Trading Group, which you can check out their live streams here.
OTC PENNY STOCKS VS NASDAQ PENNY STOCKS
The fact is that there is always a bull market somewhere. That's why it's important for penny stock investors to trade both OTC and NASDAQ/NYSE penny stocks. There are always opportunities if you give yourself the flexibility to trade all markets.Last year, for the first half of 2020, it was much more profitable to trade NASDAQ penny stocks than OTC. That is where we and our subscribers were positioned. We captured the runs in SRNE, NIO,INO, IBIO, WHKS, and many others. Then once the summer came, many of the COVID runners had failed to find momentum. We then pivoted to OTC and caught the runs in TSNP, ENZC, MMEDF, and many others.So far this year, it's best to play both OTC and NASDAQ. With Bitcoin running, we are seeing crypto plays making huge moves. With Joe Biden coming into the White House and Democrats taking control of the Senate, we are seeing cannabis and green energy plays catching bids.In this article, we take a look at penny stocks BTCS, CLWD, FTFT, and LMFA to find out what's behind the move and our outlook for each.[embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mkcp6_9xU3o[/embed]
