How to Find Best Penny Stock Setups

How to Find Best Penny Stock Setups

I am not seeing too many superb setups right now as of today so I thought I would do a little write up on what I believe to be the important factors that make for the best penny stock setups.

But before I do that CEMJQ might be worth a quick mention. If it can hop above .25 and stay above there it may be able to get another run started. Right now the broad market is going into a pretty nasty correction so I am not sure what effect that will have on CEMJQ as of now. But so far CEMJQ has held up well. A break below .20 would destroy any chances of a good pop in the near term. So maybe worth keeping an eye on.

Ok, so now what are the factors that make for the best penny stock setups?

I have been thinking about this for quite some time and I can tell you that there are a couple factors that make for the absolute BEST penny stock setups, but they are exceedingly rare. They are:

A penny stock that has had a very large upward move, but then has gone into a long sideways consolidation (perhaps forming a large triangle or a head and shoulders bottom formation).
The previous point has occurred only AFTER a very long decline in the penny stock (ie. long bear market trend).
The reason why the above two points make for the absolute best penny stock setups is because you are doubling your odds of success. You have a situation whereby a stock has come down after a long bear market but then has entered a new bull phase and THEN gone into a long sideways consolidation… It is that long sideways consolidation that you must watch like a hawk and determine an entry point because then you will be able to ride up with the next major up trend.

penny-stocks

These types of penny stock setups are the most ideal because you can ride the trend up for a month or two knowing in full confidence that you are in a bull phase move of the stock. You also have plenty of CAUSE built after the initial move and sign of strength.

There are three penny stocks that I can think of that made such moves and all three of them were extremely profitable to those that were able to identify the initial structure and then jump on for the next move.

The symbols for the three are SRSR, GSPG and IDGI. Sarissa Resources, GoldSpring, and Inca Designs.

To the left is a chart of SRSR (Sarissa Resources) just to give you an idea visually of what I mean. The first long red arrow shows the long previous bear trend I was alluding to above.

Then you see that initial large sign of strength move off of the bottom. But THEN SRSR went into a long sideways consolidation forming a symmetrical triangle. That price action is the mot valuable because it is just churning and cause building for the next big move. It gives you plenty of time to prepare for the next move and gives you advance notice of it as well.

You will see plenty of other penny stocks make 100% moves from all sorts of formations, but I have found over time that this general structure is the most powerful and reliable in terms of realizing extended profits.

The problem is you do not find these patterns that often. So if you ever do see one please let me know so I can share it with other visitors here at penny stocks penny stocks dot com.

The other type of penny stock setup that I like to try to find are the dormant bottom variation where you have a penny stock that has been trading very flat for a long time with only minor rallies and spotty volume. Preferably it will have a very low number of total outstanding shares and a small float as well. These can be also very tricky to find and identify because of their low trading volume.

What I like to see with these dormant bottom plays is successively higher price ranges, sort of like a stair case. When you start to see that off of a flat long base, then keep open to the possibility that you will see a very big move coming. Certainly volume analysis helps a lot too when trying to confirm their possible success rates.

So far I have not been able to find a good piece of scanning software that is able to identify penny stocks that trade in a long flat base.

The best real time scanning software I have seen so far for pinksheet and otc bb penny stocks is equity feed. They may have some scans that help identify long consolidating penny stocks with flat bases but I have just not used the software enough to be able to tell you that it can do that. But there are definitely good volume and price scans contained within equityfeed.

Bubble Territory for Bitcoin?

Bubble Territory for Bitcoin?

A common word that is thrown around these days in light of Bitcoin’s meteoric rise in 2017 is ‘Bubble’. Bitcoin went on a tear in 2017, generating an unbelievable 1,500% year to date return. Understandably, people have become wary of the sky-high market cap of the flagship cryptocurrency, as can be seen during the panicked sell-off and subsequent recovery that happened recently. Much of this fear likely stems from the all too recent memory of the 2008 financial crisis. In fact, we see from a variety of sources that participation in the stock market has not recovered to pre-crisis levels, leading many Americans to be left out of the bull market rally. Bubble seems to be a term that is thrown out lightly these days, as investors are on edge thinking that the next recession is just around the corner. Market psychology aside, let’s examine whether Bitcoin actually fits the bill of a Bubble.

Comparison to Historical Bubbles

(Tulip Mania chart – At its peak, a single tulip fetched more than a skilled craftsman could earn in a year source)

Many people, particularly those who don’t understand Blockchain technology like to equate the Bitcoin price appreciation to the Tulip Mania craze of the Netherlands in the 1700s. At first glance, this seems to be an apt comparison. The same exponential price increase, speculation based on the FOMO effect, and lack of intrinsic value. If accurate, this would mean that Bitcoin is doomed to repeat the crash back to Earth that Dutch Tulip Traders suffered. However, it is clear that these two situations are not comparable, because the price increase of Bitcoin is underpinned by the revolutionary technology of Blockchain. Therefore, investors are not simply attempting to cash in on a temporary craze, but instead, betting that Bitcoin will lead a revolution in the way we think about currency. Furthermore, Bitcoin has already faced several scary corrections in its history and each time has rebounded strongly.

crypto-bitcoin-currencies

Another comparison that is fresh in peoples’ minds is the more recent US subprime mortgage crisis. As mentioned before, the fact that this occurred not long ago is inducing people to compare Bitcoin to the housing bubble. Equating these two situations would also be a mistake. In terms of scale, the housing market is on the scale of tens of trillions of dollars. The Bitcoin market cap is ‘merely’ on the order of hundreds of billions of dollars right now. In addition, most homeowners are levered through use of mortgages to fund their purchases of property. I don’t know too many people who have taken out loans to buy Bitcoin. Finally, the housing crisis put the nation’s entire financial system at risk, due to the vast amount of securitization of mortgages and the bets placed on them via derivatives such as credit-default swaps. Goldman Sachs put it best in a recent article (paywall, institutional account required) where they remarked on the scale of cryptocurrency and simply stated: “It is unlikely that a hypothetical (sharp) correction in the price of cryptocurrencies would represent a negative macroeconomic shock.”

To be fair, Bitcoin does exhibit some of the characteristics of a bubble: the rapid price increase that has defied any valuation logic, the fact that it is used more as a store of value than for its intended purpose, due to high transaction fees, and the irrational exuberance exhibited by its devotees. To really become a mature bubble though, Bitcoin would need to achieve mass adoption, which it certainly has not done yet, though it is on its way. It is impossible to know how many people own Bitcoin, but estimates are in the order of 25 million around the world, with many of those 25 million owning extremely negligible amounts. (source: Are you in the Bitcoin 1% ? A New Model of the Distribution of Bitcoin Wealth). To put that number in perspective, over 150 million people own stocks just in America. The fact that Bitcoin is a digital currency that requires a certain degree of tech savviness to obtain has served as a roadblock to mass adoption. This leads me to believe that if we are indeed in a bubble, we are still in the early stages, so there is significant upside, albeit with a high degree of risk.

In summary, I believe that although we may be in a Bitcoin bubble, the comparisons to historical bubbles are misguided, due to the unique circumstances surrounding this new, potentially revolutionary technology. In future articles, I will dive more deeply into the risks and potential of Bitcoin and the strategy for investing in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

Besides owning Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies directly, exchange traded securities that may give investors the desired exposure to this asset class include Bitcoin Investment Trust (OTCQX:GBTC), Winklevoss Bitcoin Trust (COIN), Bitcoin Services Inc (OTCPK:BTSC), and First Bitcoin Capital Corp (OTC:BITCF). In future articles, we will address each security in detail.

How To Get Started In Penny Stocks

How To Get Started In Penny Stocks

If you are looking to get into the stock market, you may be interested to know that you can get started in penny stocks by investing a relatively small amount of money on a short term basis for very high gains.  Investing in penny stocks is an alternative option to conventional blue chip trading, which offers you the opportunity to manage short term investments yourself with the  potential  of yielding triple digit profits of 400% and more.

Sound good?  Go here to find our recommended penny stock investment program.  Read on to find out what you need to know to cash in on this lucrative investment strategy.

What’s so special about penny stocks?

Trading in penny stocks can yield extremely high returns, however it can also be extremely risky with less than 3% of penny stock companies ever yielding any profits.  Having said that, over the past 40 years, these small cap stocks have significantly outperformed the overall market.

Penny stocks often sell under the radar for less than $5 per share and sometimes for a few pennies, and yet they have provided explosive investments of a type that have only been associated with days gone by.   However, even though these cheap stocks have the potential of soaring in value very fast, you won’t be hearing anything about them on Fox Business News or CNBC, because they are considered too small for investment banks to get involved in.

Fact is, big investment banks would rather keep this market a secret as they would prefer you to invest in stocks and shares that they control.  Buying up millions of penny stock shares would explode the share price and potentially divert potential profits away from them.  That is why very few people are aware of the existence of penny stocks and how to take advantage of the dizzying returns on investment they offer.

All early investors in large cap stocks like Wal-Mart, Dell, Cisco and Microsoft are now living the high life because they invested dirt cheap before the masses were alerted, causing the share prices to rocket.  And although it would be great, you don’t have to find the next Microsoft to profit in penny stocks.  You just have to know when to move.

How to Start Investing in Penny Stocks – Find a Broker

If you are new to stock investing, the first thing you would want to do is find a way to invest your money.  You need to set up an account with an accredited penny stock broker, or through an online brokerage account.  The accredited broker will watch the stocks, make the trades for you and provide some advice.  If you use the online brokerage account, you are in complete control of the trades.  There are fees charged for both kinds of services.  Investigate the fee schedules of any service you are considering and whether the services are compatible with your requirements.

How to get into Penny Stocks – Do Your Research

The key factor in penny stock trading is research.  You need to know everything about the company you wish to invest in.  With penny stock companies, this may prove to be difficult as they will generally be small and unestablished, relatively unknown and often unheard of unless you intensify your research.  Things to look for are online analytical reports that will give you a good indication of the financial health of the company and the way their shares are likely to perform in the market.  News articles are a good source to check for news on the company as well as any strategic announcements or pending takeover bids.

How to Start Trading Penny Stocks –  Timing is Everything

You will need impeccable timing to know when to sell your shares to get the best  gains on your investment.  Avoid being greedy and get out while the current investment is sitting at a good price.  If you are tempted to wait, you may miss your chance when the price starts falling.  Look at the investment objectively and make a decision based on whether the price is a good one considering the status of the company, and decide whether it has shown enough growth for you to make a good profit.  After a few trades you will be more experienced at gauging the market and deciding when to sell.

How to tank in penny stocks – What about that hot tip?

Here’s the thing, 97% of all penny stocks out there are complete duds and will never earn you a dime, let alone a penny!  So, unless you are a real savvy, experienced stock trader like Warren Buffet, chances are you won’t find that golden needle in the haystack.   Remember, you’re looking for undervalued stocks, not under performing companies.  Chances are, that hot tip you heard was a scam, just lots of hype to pump up a stock so someone else (not you) can profit.

If you are serious about this investment strategy you can do all the careful research and educate yourself on the stock market, or you can do what most penny stock investors do and subscribe to a penny stock newsletter or service.  These experts do all the painstaking investigation and number crunching before picking the best stocks and recommending them to their subscribers.

How to succeed in penny stocks – listen to the experts

A good program will educate you step by step on how to get started, stock market jargon,  and how to trade stocks even if you’ve never traded a baseball card in your life.  Most  importantly, a good program will tell you what stock or stocks to invest in, when to get in and when to get out.  Additionally, a good program will have a plan for you to systematically build your wealth.  Stay away from any program that promises to make you a millionaire over night.  That just won’t happen on a couple hundred dollar investment.

You can get started in penny stocks with a modest investment of $200 – $1,000 and see returns in a couple of weeks.  Then invest your profits for further trading, which could result in fantastic returns on your investments with no financial risk.
