1. SoundHound AI Inc. (NASDAQ: SOUN) — The Record Revenue AI Penny Stock

SoundHound AI Inc. has established itself as a leader in the AI sector, with its innovative voice recognition technology. This stock became a hot commodity during the 2023 AI boom and has continued to gain momentum.

SoundHound AI Stock Tumbles: Opportunity or Risk?

Why It’s Hot

  • NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ: NVDA) holds shares in SOUN, solidifying its credibility.
  • Recent Q3 results showed record revenue of $25 million, beating expectations by $2 million.
  • The stock smashed past all-time highs in December before pulling back.

Key Insight

Look for support levels to time your trades. This stock has proven it can spike on momentum, but discipline is key to avoiding overextension.

2. Quantum Computing Inc. (NASDAQ: QUBT) — The Quantum Stock Facing Scrutiny

Quantum Computing Inc. has been a key player in the quantum computing boom, with its stock surging 1,400%* over the past year. However, a recent short report from Capybara Research has raised questions about its valuation and tech claims.

Here’s my breakdown of another critical report on QUBT by a much more credible research firm, Citron!

Why It’s Hot

  • Quantum computing is still an emerging field, drawing significant speculative interest.
  • The stock remains highly volatile, offering potential trading setups for savvy traders.
  • Controversy surrounding Capybara’s credibility adds complexity to the narrative, creating opportunities for traders to play both sides of the move.

Key Insight
Volatility from news and short interest (currently at 12.5%) could create sharp spikes or drops—be ready to act quickly.

3. Nauticus Robotics Inc. (NASDAQ: KITT) — The No-News Robotics Sector Spiker

KITT exemplifies how momentum can drive stocks in the robotics sector. This low-float stock spiked sharply on January 3 without any major news, reflecting the market’s excitement around robotics.

Here’s my breakdown of market conditions during KITT’s 120%* spike! 

Why It’s Hot

  • The robotics sector is gaining attention as AI-powered automation becomes a key focus.
  • Recent price action shows clear support levels near $2, with spikes pushing past $4.

Key Insight

Use dips to establish low-risk entries. This stock’s movement shows a predictable pattern of sharp spikes followed by consolidations.

4. Phunware Inc. (NASDAQ: PHUN) — The Election Tech Stock

Phunware is a Trump-related stock that often rallies on political headlines. Known for its work during Trump’s 2020 campaign, PHUN remains tied to political momentum.

Why It’s Hot

  • PHUN has historical ties to Donald Trump’s campaigns, often sparking significant price movements. Ahead of the November 5 election, the stock surged by 330%*, highlighting its sensitivity to political events. Here’s a look at PHUN’s incredible post-election volatility.
  • Recent spikes show potential for breakout patterns, especially on intraday moves.

Key Insight

Watch for volatility leading up to key political events. Use short-term patterns to trade the spikes, but avoid holding long-term.

5. Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) — The Trump Wild Card That Moves Like a Penny Stock

Tesla might not be a penny stock, but its connection to Trump has made it a must-watch. Elon Musk’s public alignment with Trump during the 2024 election cycle brought renewed attention to TSLA’s stock.

Here’s the latest Tesla news!

Why It’s Hot

  • Tesla could benefit from pro-business policies under a Trump administration.
  • TSLA’s volatility provides opportunities for traders, especially around key announcements.

Key Insight

Use technical levels for trades. TSLA is a higher-priced stock, so proper risk management is essential.

Final Thoughts: Trade With a Plan

Key Tip: Focus on momentum plays and follow a disciplined strategy. Whether you’re trading SOUN’s AI hype or PHUN’s political spikes, remember: buy the rumor, sell the news to stay ahead in this fast-paced market.

Trading isn’t rocket science. It’s a skill you build and work on like any other.

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 .
