5 Stocks to Watch for Thursday, September 16, 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: Indaptus Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: INDP)

INDP is a clinical-stage biotech company that develops immunotherapies.

The stock went full supernova on September 15 after the company announced that the U.S. patent office “issued a notice of allowance for claims related to the Company’s platform technology.” The patent is titled, “Methods of Treatment of Infections Using Bacteria.”

Read the full press release here.

StocksToTrade’s Breaking News Chat alerted the news in premarket.* This tool isn’t just for penny stock news alerts. The team alerts news on higher-priced stocks too. Start your 14-day trial of StocksToTrade with BNC for only $17 here.**

The stock has a super low float of roughly 1.5 million shares, so it’s super volatile. It was halted multiple times during the morning spike. Then before noon, it broke through the HOD and spiked another $6 per share, making a high of $28.82.

But in the afternoon the stock tanked back to the low teens. That kind of move can be disastrous for greedy traders and those who hold and hope. That’s why I always sell into strength!

I won’t chase a stock up this high. Traders can watch for a dip buy into a big panic.

Stocks to Watch Today #2: MeaTech 3D Ltd. (NASDAQ: MITC)

MITC’s a food packaging company, but it’s also in 3D bioprinting.

On September 14 the company announced its subsidiary cultivated “over 700 grams of pure chicken fat biomass in a single production run.

“This achievement is believed to be the first public demonstration of growth in a single run of this quantity of 100% pure cultivated cell biomass, grown entirely outside of a animal.”

Read the full press release here.

As appetizing as that sounds, I’m in no hurry to trade these higher-priced stocks since OTCs are hot right now. So it’s only on watch for a dip buy if it has a big enough morning panic.

Stocks to Watch Today #3: IronNet Cybersecurity, Inc. (NYSE: IRNT)

IRNT’s a tech company that offers cybersecurity solutions. (Get my cybersecurity stock watchlist here.)

The stock was up over 35% on September 15 after the company announced second-quarter financials. It was another news and gap-up alert from StocksToTrade’s Breaking News Chat in premarket. Seriously, get this game-changing tool now!

At the market open, IRNT had a huge spike and briefly broke out to new 52-week highs of $31.43. Then it panicked down to $24.45. But it clawed its way back. It squeezed shorts, broke through the HOD after lunch, and made a new 52-week high of $32.72.

The stock’s trading high volume, and it’s volatile. Traders can watch for it to choose a direction before planning a trade. More upside could lead to a breakout to new yearly highs. Or a breakdown could offer a panic dip buy opportunity.

Stocks to Watch Today #4: IVERIC bio, Inc. (NASDAQ: ISEE)

ISEE’s another biotech. The company develops treatments for ophthalmic diseases and vision loss.

The stock initially gapped up and ran on September 10 after one of its competitors reported bad clinical trial results. The same day, an analyst at Stifel initiated coverage on the stock with a buy rating and a $22 price target.

It has a huge float, so it’s not very volatile. But we could see a short squeeze if the stock breaks out over $16.60 with high volume. That would be new 52-week highs for the stock.

Stocks to Watch Today #5: Ampio Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE: AMPE)

AMPE’s a lower-priced biotech company that develops inflammatory disease treatments.

On September 15 the company announced top-line Phase 3 trial results for its treatment for osteoarthritis of the knee.

“In the study, Ampion demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in pain and improvement in function at 12 weeks in severe OAK patients.”

The stock was up over 20% after the news. It’s a former multi-day runner. But it has a huge float and needs huge volume for a big move. Traders can watch for more volume and a potential breakout over $2.

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.
