Several of my students have been crushing it lately…

What are they doing so differently from the majority of traders who lose?

They’re taking advantage of the hottest trend in penny stocks.

If you have no idea what I’m talking about…you’re in luck!

Because today I’m going to share with you what it is and how you too can potentially take advantage of it.

The Best Trend In Penny Stocks

Yesterday I sent out this tweet:

It’s what I believe is the best way to trade penny stocks in this current market. And today I’m going to get into more detail explaining why I think that is.

Taking Advantage Of A Trend I Popularized

Shorting stocks is nothing new…

If you ever read the book Reminiscences of a Stock Operator then you know they were shorting stocks in the early 1900s.

However, I’d like to think I’m someone who popularized shorting penny stocks in the early 2000s.

It was such a brilliant strategy…find the scummiest companies being promoted…aka pump and dumps…and wait for the right moment to short them.

It worked well…and it was largely responsible for my first million in trading profits.

For me, it was always easier to find crappy companies to short than good companies to buy.

But you know what?

It’s not something I do anymore.

Why?

Because shorting crappy stocks has gotten severely overcrowded. In other words, too many traders are doing it.

In fact, the risk vs. reward dynamics have shifted dramatically. It actually makes sense to buy these stocks than to short them.

I know…it’s wild…but that’s how markets work.

We have seen one epic short squeeze after another this year.

Just check out what happened in the ticker LIFW:

I was trading this thing in the $1s when I first realized it was a short squeeze…but it eventually went to $17+…crashed…and had another spike in the $11s.

Why Are We Seeing This?

#1: Short sellers are narrow minded. They mainly use logic. Which works great if you’re an investor. However, you need to consider risk management as a trader. If you shorted LIFW at $5 can you absorb a move to $17? Most traders can’t. You need to consider the price action and look at other factors.

Just because a stock is bleeding capital and they’re likely going to have to do an offering in the future…doesn’t mean the stock can’t rip $10 in your face.

#2: Short sellers can’t adapt. At the end of the day the short seller is right. The stock will eventually fail. But can they absorb the squeeze before the stock tanks? Traders like myself know this…and our buying pressure along with their stubbornness is what’s creating these squeezes.

What Stocks Should You Be Looking For?

This will probably blow your mind. It’s actually the worst stocks.

Why?

That’s where all the shorts will be crowding.

When a play looks so bad…it lures in so many shorts.

The worst plays can be the biggest spikers.

What’s Really Working Well?

Look for these setups as the stocks are hitting the high of the day…these breakouts are causing massive short squeezes.

Also, avoid buying the dip after the stock has experienced a sell-off. Remember, these are terrible stocks that never deserved to be up in the first place.

The available research on day trading suggests that most active traders lose money. Fees and overtrading are major contributors to these losses.

A 2000 study called “Trading is Hazardous to Your Wealth: The Common Stock Investment Performance of Individual Investors” evaluated 66,465 U.S. households that held stocks from 1991 to 1996. The households that traded most averaged an 11.4% annual return during a period where the overall market gained 17.9%. These lower returns were attributed to overconfidence.

A 2014 paper (revised 2019) titled “Learning Fast or Slow?” analyzed the complete transaction history of the Taiwan Stock Exchange between 1992 and 2006. It looked at the ongoing performance of day traders in this sample, and found that 97% of day traders can expect to lose money from trading, and more than 90% of all day trading volume can be traced to investors who predictably lose money. Additionally, it tied the behavior of gamblers and drivers who get more speeding tickets to overtrading, and cited studies showing that legalized gambling has an inverse effect on trading volume.

A 2019 research study (revised 2020) called “Day Trading for a Living?” observed 19,646 Brazilian futures contract traders who started day trading from 2013 to 2015, and recorded two years of their trading activity. The study authors found that 97% of traders with more than 300 days actively trading lost money, and only 1.1% earned more than the Brazilian minimum wage ($16 USD per day). They hypothesized that the greater returns shown in previous studies did not differentiate between frequent day traders and those who traded rarely, and that more frequent trading activity decreases the chance of profitability.

These studies show the wide variance of the available data on day trading profitability. One thing that seems clear from the research is that most day traders lose money .
