5 Stocks to Watch for Thursday, September 9, 2021
Remember, this is a watchlist, not a ‘must trade’ list. I’m not always right, and I don’t trade everything I watch. That’s why you should never blindly follow or buy anyone’s stock picks — even mine.
But there’s always something you can learn.
Watch out for patterns that fit your strategy. Always have a trading plan for every trade. Here are some resources to help you get started:

If you’ve been following my blog and lessons, you know I love to trade low-priced stocks. (To learn more about trading penny stocks, get my FREE guide here.)
The stocks on this list aren’t penny stocks. Even if I rarely trade higher-priced stocks, their movements can still affect stocks within my price range. So to me, they’re worth watching.
If you want to know which penny stocks I’m watching…

Now, here are 8 top stocks to watch today…
Stocks to Watch Today #1: The Metal Arts Company, Inc. (OTCPK: MTRT)
MTRT is a metal fabrication company that offers surface coating through its subsidiary.
It started to run on August 31 after the company announced a change in control. StocksToTrade’s Breaking News Chat alerted me to the news…
Seriously, if you’re not using the Breaking News Chat yet, get it now! Start your 14-day trial of StocksToTrade with BNC for only $17 here.**
After the news announcement, MTRT turned into one of the biggest OTC runners over the last week. This is what traders should focus on — big percent gainers.
I’ve made over $4,200 trading this ticker since my first trade on August 31.* See all my MTRT trades here.*
My biggest profit was when I bought the breakout over the morning high on September 7. That led to a multi-day breakout over the previous day’s high of $5.44. I bought 1,500 shares at $5.35 and sold at $6 for a profit of $945.* But that wasn’t my best trade…
I chased the spike a bit. That’s why I took a smaller size. So even though I got out with a profit, I’d rather wait for a dip buy into any big intraday panic.
Stocks to Watch Today #2: Vinco Ventures, Inc. (NASDAQ: BBIG)
BBIG’s another big percent gainer. This NFT stock is super volatile and has been trading crazy high volume over the last week…
It was on last week’s watchlist for a dip buy into a big panic, but the stock keeps going higher. Reddit traders have it targeted as the next big short squeeze.
It briefly broke out to new 52-week highs on September 8. But it hit a wall of sellers at $12.50 and tanked over $1 per share in two minutes.
The amount of volume it’s trading could create more squeeze, but I wouldn’t chase it. I’ll watch for a morning panic dip buy.
Stocks to Watch Today #3: Arqit Quantum Inc. Ordinary Shares (NASDAQ: ARQQ)
Arqit offers quantum encryption technology.
It debuted on the Nasdaq on September 7 after completing its business combination with a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC). On its opening day, it quickly went from around $10 per share to $26 before crashing back to $10.
The next day it opened at $14 and had a morning spike to $19. Then it closed near its lows.
It has a huge float of 110 million shares, so it needs high volume to continue to run.
It’s another one I don’t want to chase. Listed stocks are choppy so patience is key on plays like this. I’ll watch it for a morning panic dip buy.
Stocks to Watch Today #4: Globalstar, Inc. (NYSE: GSAT)
GSAT’s a mobile satellite communication provider. It’s a lower-priced stock and a perfect example of why you should always keep recent big percent gainers on your watchlist…
The stock had a huge gap up on August 30 after rumors spread that Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) would build satellite communication capabilities into the iPhone 13. But the stock didn’t hold its gains and traded lower the following two days.
Then it slowly climbed higher, and on September 8, it broke out over the high of $2.42 set on August 30. Again, StocksToTrade’s Breaking News Chat nailed the alert. The chat team alerted the stock when it was creeping higher and reminded traders of the important breakout level.
GSAT isn’t a super volatile stock — it has a huge float of over 700 million shares. So it probably won’t jump a dollar per share in a few minutes. But its lower price means traders can buy larger positions, so it can still move on high volume.

I’ll watch for the stock to potentially retest its 52-week highs of $2.98 and breakout.
Stocks to Watch Today #5: Candel Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: CADL)
CADL’s in the hot biotech sector. It develops cancer immunotherapy drugs.
The stock spiked over 20% on September 8 with no news. It had a huge morning spike and went from roughly $10 to $15. And it was halted multiple times due to volatility.
Even with no news, the stock’s worth watching for potential setups. It’s a big percent gainer and recent runner. And it has a relatively low float of roughly 15 million shares. That means it could have more volatile moves.
But again, I wouldn’t chase any spikes. It’s a speculative watch — I’d like to see a catalyst and high volume for more potential upside. For now, I’ll watch it for a dip buy into any big panic.

Frequently Asked Questions About Stocks to Watch Today
What Are the Best Stocks to Trade as a Beginner?
My favorite stocks to trade are penny stocks. I think they’re a great way for beginners to learn the trading process with a small account.
Can You Get Rich Trading Stocks?
Don’t come into trading with a get-rich-quick mindset. Trading is a marathon, not a sprint. It can be a lucrative career but it takes years of hard work and dedication to learn the nuances of the market — which is what I teach.
How Much Money Do You Need To Start Trading Stocks?
Only start trading with money you can afford to lose. You can start small. In fact, I teach traders to focus on education first to learn the process, then slowly scale up over time.
Is Trading Stocks Risky?
All trading is risky. No trader is right 100% of the time. That’s why I keep my losses small by cutting losses quickly.
