Is the Market Getting Scary?
History repeats itself … Traditionally, September and October have been scary times in the stock market.
The notorious stock market crash of 1929 happened in October…
And the stock market crash of 1987? Also in October.
Oh, and the 2007–2008 financial crisis? It kicked off on October 9, 2007. That’s the day Congress rejected a bill to bail out banks…
After a truly historic run-up, the S&P 500 recently experienced what some called a ‘mini-crash.’ There’s been some recovery, but it’s got some people spooked.
Plus, the election is creating lots of uncertainty that could lead to more market volatility…
Recent slowdowns and consolidation have traders wondering if the hottest trading year in decades is winding down…
What do I think? I don’t like to predict. And I’m definitely gonna stay careful … I’ll probably cut losses even quicker than usual.
But in the scheme of things, I’m not worried. As I’ve learned in my 20+ years of trading, there are always opportunities. It’s a matter of reacting to what the market gives you.
React, don’t anticipate!
Penny Stock Trades: You’ve Gotta Adapt
Patterns repeat … but penny stock trades don’t always play out the same exact way. That’s why you’ve gotta constantly keep learning and adapting.
Trying out dozens of different setups at the same time and seeing what works is NOT an effective trading strategy.
Instead, it’s better to focus on a few key setups and really understand how they work.
Figure Out Your Ideal Setups
I’m a big believer in letting data dictate what works for you as a trader.
Keep a trading journal where you log your trades. Log details like your entry and exit points, your theory for getting into the trade, and how it worked out.
My top student, Tim Grittani, kept meticulous notes on his trades — that’s how he figured out what was really working for him. He focused on the setups that were making him the most money — and perfected them.
Now, he’s made over $12 million*…
What’s Working Now?
Let’s look at some recent plays — these will give you an idea of why caution and quick reaction times are vital in the market right now.
Utilize EVERY trade to increase your knowledge account, NOT just your brokerage account. Because when your knowledge account is big enough & it starts overflowing after a few years, all that expertise inevitably spills over into your trading account too & your win rate spikes BIG

How Do I Find Penny Stock Trades?
So many traders just want alerts. I don’t want anyone to follow my alerts … Instead, use them for your education. It’s how you can better learn the process. Ultimately, I want you to be self-sufficient and develop your own strategy.
I use StocksToTrade to filter down the thousands of stocks to a short watchlist of the strongest potential plays.
This way, I don’t have to waste my time on stocks that don’t meet my criteria. Thanks to StocksToTrade’s add-ons like the Breaking News Chat feature, I can also get a heads-up on when there’s news that could move a particular stock.

Basanite Inc. (OTCQB: BASA)
This was one of the best morning spikers on September 8, 2020. I actually missed this play. But you can ALWAYS learn something from trades — even if you didn’t take a position.
Props to my students who reported buying the breakout during the morning spike. There was a great opportunity to buy in the low $0.70s then sell in the high $0.70s, $0.80s, or even higher…
But as you can see by the chart, it happened fast — then faded into oblivion. In a market like this, you can’t stay in trades too long!

Galaxy Next Generation Inc. (OTCQB: GAXY)
I dip bought this former runner with news, hoping to make 10%–20%. The bounce exceeded my expectations and I made $1,035.* But I didn’t stick around.
In retrospect, I could have made more … but I didn’t want to get greedy. At the time, the Dow was dropping like crazy. I don’t need that kind of stress in my life.
