The stock market has been doing great in October, although we haven’t seen anything like the rally in February. Still, there are many good penny stocks that are listed both on OTC markets as well as on NASDAQ providing opportunities.Speaking about the tech index, it hit a record high on Thursday, driven by mega-cap stocks like Apple, Amazon.com, and Tesla. The earnings season has been good so far, with most companies exceeding expectations. The optimism surrounding blue chips is driving the bullishness in penny stocks as well.James Gaul, portfolio manager at Knights of Columbus Asset Advisors, told Reuters:

“We are still favorable on US equities and don't expect any near term reasons for the bullishness to fade which is led on by strong earnings. There are supply chain issues affecting short-term results but there is anticipation for strong demand and supply issues subsiding going ahead, and for all major sectors the long term is attractive.”

Earlier on Thursday, the US Commerce Department said that the GDP grew at a 2% annualized rate in Q3. Separately, labor market data showed that fewer US citizens filed new claims for unemployment benefits last week.The stock market has managed to depart from the bearish mood from September and is ready to expand further, with penny stocks having more room for growth.

That’s why it’s important for penny stock investors to trade both OTC and NASDAQ stocks, and sometimes get exposure to larger companies that still seem to have massive growth potential. There are always opportunities if you give yourself the flexibility to trade all markets.In this article, we take a look at 4 penny stocks worth watching, two of which are listed on NASDAQ. They are BIMI International Medical Inc (NASDAQ: BIMI), LIG Assets, Inc (OTCPK: LIGA), Meten Holding Group Ltd (NASDAQ: METX), and Petroteq Energy Inc (OTCPK: PQEFF). Penny stock #1 BIMI Penny stock #2 LIGA Penny stock #3 METX Penny stock #4 PQEFF

PENNY STOCKS #1 BIMI

BIMI International Medical Inc has rallied almost 300% this week, although it remained with a 60% gain after correction, trading near $0.95. The share price peaked on Tuesday at over $2.50, hitting the highest since March. Now you can buy the stock for $0.94 per share.The price exploded on Tuesday after touching the lowest level in years. It seems that BIMI was a good short squeeze candidate, as the percentage of shorts increased by 84%, as per data from shortsqueeze.com. So the impression is that bears have intensified their pressure for months, causing ideal conditions for a short squeeze that worked earlier this week.The NASDAQ-listed company engages in the retail and wholesale distribution of medical devices and pharmaceutical and other healthcare products in China. It offers prescription and over-the-counter drugs, nutritional supplements, health foods, and sundry products, as well as traditional Chinese medicines, personal and family care products, and miscellaneous items under the Lijiantang Pharmacy brand name. The company also provides IT research and development services. It sells its medicine and other healthcare products to customers through its directly owned stores.Last month, BIMI entered into a stock purchase agreement to acquire Chongqing Zhuoda Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd, a wholesale supplier of pharmaceuticals and medical equipment, including over 1,220 pharmaceutical products, thousands of Chinese herbal medicines, and more than 50 types of medical equipment. According to the agreement, BIMI will buy all the issued and outstanding equity interests in Zhuoda in consideration of $11.6 million. BIMI said it would issue 2.2 million shares of common stock valued at $3.00 per share.BIMI CEO Tiewei Song said:

“We are encouraged and excited about the planned acquisition of Zhuoda, as we believe this transaction will be transformative for our Company and our shareholders. Zhuoda has established long-term strategic cooperation with 14 local hospitals, which account for most of the grade A tertiary hospitals in East Chongqing. It will greatly boost Company’s local market expansion.”

After months of bearishness, we think BIMI is onto something with this acquisition, and we see its stock price reversing the long-term downtrend once and for all.

PENNY STOCKS #2 LIGA

We covered LIG Assets, Inc exactly one week ago, and the OTC stock continues to expand, updating the YTD high on Tuesday when it rose to $0.0113. LIGA is ready to go even higher.LIG Assets is an investment company that focuses on real estate, media, and the seafood industry. It has 3 subsidiaries:

  • BGTV Direct LLC, which focuses on original content and brands that deliver results on their worldwide syndication and advertising platforms. BGTV Direct and its broadcast and syndication partners are powered by NTR advertiser supported content across television, radio, mobile, Internet and other electronic advertising platforms.
  • Live Stor America, which focuses on seafood storage.
  • LIG Development LLC.

Recently, LIGA obtained the Pink Current status and reported that it had no debt. The anti-dilutive share structure makes it a great OTC stock to hold in the long term.The share price started to gain momentum after the company released its Q3 results, reporting $1 million cash versus $30k last year and total liabilities down from $3.6 million to $600k. LIGA also has several partnerships and acquisitions underway, which makes it a hot OTC stock.https://twitter.com/DeviantImmortal/status/1450492727666245639

PENNY STOCKS #3 METX

Meten Holding Group Ltd is another China-based NASDAQ-listed stock that has had a great week, gaining over 50% during the last five trading days. The share price peaked on Tuesday at $0.67 before correcting to the current level of $0.48. Although METX has had a great month, the price has consistently declined since February’s YTD peak at over $3.00. Still, this is a great opportunity to buy the dip.METX provides English language training (ELT) services in China. It operates through four segments: General Adult English Training, Overseas Training Services, Online English Training, and Junior English Training. The company delivers English language and future skills training for Chinese students and professionals. It offers adult and junior ELT services under the Meten brand name, junior ELT services under the ABC brand name, and online ELT services under the Likeshuo brand name through a digital platform and network of learning centers.At the end of last year, the company had a network of 105 self-operated learning centers covering 28 cities in 15 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities, as well as 13 franchised learning centers covering 12 cities in 11 provinces and municipalities.Investors are excited about METX mainly because of its plans to tap into the crypto and blockchain space, which is the fastest-growing industry right now.On October 28, the company announced that it had partnered with AGM Group Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: AGMH), an integrated technology company focusing on fintech software services and high-performance hardware and computing equipment manufacturing, to accelerate the development of Meten's blockchain and cryptocurrency mining business.The parties agreed to cooperate on the research and development of blockchain applications and the establishment of a supply chain for crypto mining business. The agreement contains an initial order of AGMH's cryptocurrency mining machines from Meten and an option for Meten to purchase additional machines later.METX’s executive director Jason Zhao said:

“AGMH, through its strategic partnership with HighSharp (Shenzhen Gaorui) Electronic Technology Co., Ltd., has upgraded its R&D capabilities and built a team of engineers with expertise in blockchain and related technologies. Leveraging AGMH's advanced technology, experienced team and superior quality miners, we believe our partnership will accelerate Meten's development in the field of blockchain and cryptocurrency and further unlock the full potential of our new business initiatives, putting us on the best path to success.”

METX has bottomed out recently and we don’t think it will return to former highs sooner than later. Crypto mining is a profitable business, especially as the price of digital currencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum continue to aim higher.https://twitter.com/shawonsarker84/status/1453514733449924608

PENNY STOCKS #4 PQEFF

Like LIGA, Petroteq Energy Inc is an OTC stock that is currently trading near its YTD high. PQEFF has gained 60% since last week and 80% since the beginning of October. The share price peaked on Tuesday close to $0.30, and now you can buy it for $0.22. PQEFF has managed to break above a strong resistance level near $0.20, which couldn’t be challenged for months. The last time we reported on PQEFF was at the end of May when we reiterated our confidence that the company provides great value.Petroteq is a Canadian holding company, publicly trading on the TSX Venture Exchange as well as on OTC Markets. It has offices both in Canada and the US, and its initial oil sands processing plant is in Vernal, Utah. The company is engaged in the development and implementation of its proprietary environmentally friendly heavy oil processing and extraction technologies. The proprietary process produces zero greenhouse gas, zero waste, and requires no high temperatures. PQEFF is currently focused on developing its oil sands resources and expanding production capacity at its Facility at Asphalt Ridge, Utah.Last week, PQEFF’s interim CEO R. G. Bailey shared in an update to shareholders several accomplishments during the last two years. He said that despite the negative impact of the pandemic, the company:

  • Successfully completed construction of a 500 bpd oil extraction plant;
  • Sold its first commercial license to Greenfield Energy LLC for $2,000,000 plus a 5% continuing royalty;
  • Has tested samples of heavy sweet oil produced by Greenfield Energy LLC using our CORT process at Quadrise Fuels International plc's research facility in Essex, England, confirming that the samples are amenable for use in the production of a low viscosity oil-in-water emulsified synthetic heavy fuel oil utilizing Quadrise Fuels' MSAR® and bioMSAR™ technologies;
  • Analyzed and tested the clean sands produced as a byproduct of the CORT process, and have determined they can be sold as a resource to different industries, including for use as a potential frac sand;
  • Received a FEED (Front End Engineering Design) study for a 5,000 bpd oil extraction plant. This study was prepared by Crosstrails Engineering LLC;
  • Received a third-party technical evaluation for a 5,000 bpd oil extraction plant. This evaluation was prepared by the engineering firm Kahuna Ventures.

He reiterated that the company’s CORT process is unique and stands alone as the most eco-friendly and cost-effective oil sands oil extraction method. Kahuna Ventures' third-party technical evaluation report showed that the cost of production of one bb of oil based on PQEFF’s proposed 5,000 bpd plant would be less than $25, which would be highly competitive compared to conventional methods of oil sands extraction.Investors are even more on PQEFF after it responded to an unsolicited takeover on Thursday, October 28. The company said that 2869889 Ontario Inc., an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Viston United Swiss AG, has started a conditional, unsolicited takeover bid to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of the company. PQEFF shareholders were advised to take no action in respect of the offer until the Board has made a formal recommendation to shareholders.The hostile takeover attempt proves that PQEFF has a great extraction technology that could potentially put it in a leading position.
