Whenever the market sells off (like right now) there’s a ton of fear, uncertainty, and doubt. That lack of confidence eventually trickles down to the economy. Before you know it, we are staring at a full-blown recession.
Now, I’m not saying it will happen, even though I correctly predicted this blood bath several months ago.
But if it does, will you be ready?
If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times. Don’t worry, I’ll repeat myself …
The best way to make money in the market is by actively trading. And most importantly, have a risk management plan that won’t steamroll you out of the market. This is what I’m talking about.
Furthermore, focus on stocks not tied to macro headlines, like the penny stocks I teach my students how to trade.
If you’re curious about what this looks like, you’re in luck. I just polished off my brand new watchlist.
Check it out below…
Top 5 Penny Stocks to Watch This Week
Top Penny Stocks List #1: Aclarion Inc. (NASDAQ: ACON)
The first thing to know about IPOs: they’re volatile.
And that volatility can be traded.
Need proof? Check out this profit I made last week on ACON …
The volatility isn’t over yet. I’m still keeping this stock on my list in case it wants to spike again.
Top Penny Stocks List #2: Kona Gold Beverage Inc (OTCPK: KGKG)
This penny stock has been really volatile over the last 2 months.
I traded this one recently too. Here’s a screenshot…
You’ll find I trade a lot of the same stocks more than once. That’s why I keep them on my watchlist.
I’m not sure whether this one will break out again or not. But if not, there’s still a chance for a panic dip buy on volatile tickers.

Top Penny Stocks List #3: Epazz Inc (OTCPK: EPAZ)
Check out a chart of this past runner …
I like to see a history of volatility.
But there’s another reason why I like this stock.
There’s recent NFT news.
If you’re not up-to-date on NFTs and the hottest emerging market, watch my new video with my millionaire student Matt Monaco. Seriously, you don’t want to get left behind …
I only trade the best setups — I’m waiting for it to start moving with volume.

That’s how I know the price likes to follow my chart patterns. Here are a few you should know.
All I have to do now is lay in wait for the perfect opportunity. I trade like a sniper. And that’s how I teach all my students to trade.
If this stock makes a move, I’ll be ready.
Top Penny Stocks List #5: Ionix Technology Inc (OTCPK: IINX)
Here’s a past runner in a hot sector that I’m watching.
It spiked in 2021. And recently it’s experiencing new volatility.
This company sells lithium batteries, so it’s considered part of the EV sector.
There’s been a ton of news recently about electric vehicles. They’re growing in popularity and big automobile companies are doing their part to stay relevant. Here’s what I read in the news …
Keep a close eye on IINX this week. Get ready to capitalize on volatility!
Those are the top 5 stocks to be watching this week. But it takes more than a watchlist to achieve consistent profits.

Why You Should Consider Penny Stocks
You’ve probably heard people say “Penny stocks are scams.” Maybe your financial planner said, “Penny stocks are a very high-risk investment.”
Let me give it to you straight up…
Penny stocks are NOT long-term investments. They’re trading vehicles.
99.9% of penny stock companies fail. Or they do some weird pivot to whatever’s hot (like NFTs) and get a short-term spike. Then they suck again.
That’s what makes penny stocks beautiful. Other people think of penny stocks as investments. In other words, they believe the BS and hype.
Those are your enemies on the trading battlefield. They create massive volatility and THAT is what allows me and my top students to crush it.
The best part is, there’s a 7-step pennystocking framework you can use to identify common patterns.
Then, it’s a matter of discovering…
How to Choose the Right Penny Stocks to Trade
The world of penny stocks opened up when we created a tool that makes it easy. Heck, we even called it StocksToTrade.
That said, people often ask how to choose stocks. It would take you days to sift through a list of all penny stocks. Even a list of the 100 best penny stocks wouldn’t get you very far. You need to drill down.
Here’s where to start…
Look for Big Percent Gainers
This is my number-one criterion and always has been. I’m not interested in boring — especially to grow a small account. If you reach $9.7 million in trading profits like Jack Kellogg, you’ll earn the right to trade boring stocks.
StocksToTrade has several big percent gainer scans built in. Use it.
Look at the Exchange
This is important, especially in the beginning…
OTCs don’t trade premarket or after hours. That’s a good thing for beginners. Also, with OTCs, Level 2 data is more relevant. Once you start trading high-volume listed stocks, it’s more of a challenge to use Level 2.
Finally, some OTCs have a Pink Limited designation. Some even get the dreaded skull-and-crossbones Caveat Emptor label. Be wary of these stocks. I’m not saying to never trade them, just take extra caution. If you’re new, avoid Caveat Emptor stocks altogether.
Investigate the Company History
After a while you probably won’t need to do this. Why? Because you’ll understand why penny stocks are called “Wall Street’s gutter.”
Take off the rose-tinted glasses…
Some penny stock companies change names or sectors as often as we change presidents. At least understand that before you start trading. Where can you find the dirt? Find the ticker on the OTC markets website or SEC Edgar. Then start going through filings.
(Top tip: StocksToTrade has links to all SEC and OTC markets filings. Use it.)
For more on how to read SEC filings, see my DVD guide called “How to Read SEC Filings.”
You’ll get blown away when you start digging. Most of these companies have more skeletons in their closet than a haunted house.
Always Verify Their Claims
The next step is to look for a catalyst. Most big percent gainers move based on news.
This is key…
Don’t take a press release or company tweet at face value. Try to verify the company’s claims.
Again, most of these companies fail. Half the time they have no product and no revenue. Rest assured, they’ll still issue press releases about their “world-changing tech.” Or some big contract. Or a new gold mine, oil well, or metaverse property.
Most of it is absolute BS. Which is why you should NEVER believe the hype.
Instead…
Be Skeptical
That applies no matter what promoters tweet or what you heard in a Discord chat. THOSE are the biggest scams in this industry.
That’s why it’s so important to use StocksToTrade and get the Breaking News Chat add-on.
The Breaking News Chat guys are on top of promotions, chat pumps, and sketchy press releases. They alert it all in chat. That saves you hours of research sifting through so-called due diligence.
I would NEVER trade without StocksToTrade Breaking News. Get it today.
Rinse and Repeat to Add Penny Stocks to Your List
It’s as simple as that. Add more stocks to your watchlist by repeating the process. I keep roughly 20–30 stocks on my big watchlist.
Each day cull your list. Take one or two off or add them to a secondary list. Then add the day’s top percent gainers with a catalyst and volume.

Studying my watchlist is a good start, but you need to learn…
How to Create Your Own Penny Stocks List
Whether you call it a penny stocks list or a watchlist, the process is the same. It’s not difficult but you might find it time consuming in the beginning. Go through the process described below. Like everything else in life, with practice and experience it will get easier.
How Can You Create Your Own Watchlist?
Start by looking for big percent gainers. For two decades, big percent gains have been my #1 criteria. After that, look at trading volume. Focus on high-volume stocks. Finally, try to find the catalyst or reason behind the price action.
Should I Create a Watchlist Every Day?
All serious traders create a daily watchlist. If you’re serious about trading penny stocks, a daily watchlist is essential. No excuses.
