The markets have fully recovered after April’s downturn and have since maintained that correction level…
But the choppiness continues.
Indexes were mixed yesterday. The S&P 500 returned to positive territory on Tuesday for the first time since February, but it had a down day yesterday, along with the NASDAQ and the DJIA.
No worries!
We’re trading penny stocks and we don’t care!
Why? Because the pennies don’t care either! Their price movements are uncorrelated with the broad markets.
When asked what hedge I use against downturns in my long-term portfolio, I answer, “day trading.”
Conventional trading from the past doesn’t work anymore…
My colleague and legendary trader, Tim Sykes, knows this too!
He trades stocks that traditional Wall Street traders won’t touch.
By changing his approach, he has optimized a system that could deliver monster gains over short periods of time…sometimes in just 24 hours!
But these specific trading opportunities won’t last forever. The market moves in waves, and this is just one of them.
Jump on this wave before it’s too late.
Watch the video below to learn Tim’s system for yourself.
One of the biggest lightbulb moments for many traders is that penny stocks don’t follow the S&P 500, NASDAQ, or the DJIA…
They play in their own sandbox, which is exactly why I love them.

Big Market? Big Problems
If you’re trading large-cap stocks, ETFs, or the broader indices, you’re tied to a thousand variables you can’t control.
The major markets move on everything from Fed announcements to GDP numbers, interest rate moves, and geopolitical tensions…
And it can be extremely difficult to predict which way it will move…Just look at 2025 so far, especially April.
That shows you even the big money doesn’t know how to react in this environment.
Fortunately for penny stock traders, they’re in a whole different world.
Penny Stocks Dance to Their Own Beat
Here’s what matters in penny stock land:
- A sketchy press release drops announcing a “strategic partnership” or “breakthrough,” with very little data or substantial information.
- Twitter, Reddit, and other financial social media start running with the news.
- Volume explodes and the price surges.
It doesn’t matter if the major indexes are in the red….
A hot penny stock can run 100%+ in the middle of a full-blown market meltdown.
Penny stock action is fueled by speculation and hype, not macroeconomics.
To make finding these plays a breeze, you need a great trading platform.

The Big Penny Stock Runner From Yesterday
And Incannex Healthcare Inc. (NASDAQ: IXHL) did exactly the above yesterday…
First, it dropped a press release early in the morning…
Then, in pre-market, it followed the RCT pattern.
After going vertical, the first 5-minute red candle posted, which gave us an entry and stop loss of $0.274 per share and $0.2719, respectively.
And then IXHL took off, reaching a high of $0.943 for the day, and returning 244%*!
For the less aggressive traders who waited until after the market open, Oracle gave us a buy signal of $0.43, and a gain of 119%*.
Feast your eyes on yesterday’s IXHL chart…

And speaking of game-changing, Nvidia’s CEO, Jensen Huang, is about to trigger an event that could be just that…
Everything could be different after this.
Fortunately, my colleague, Tim Sykes, has a handle on it and knows exactly what you need to do BEFORE this happens.

My Final Thoughts…
The correlation that doesn’t exist is your edge.
One of the most beautiful things about trading penny stocks is how unrelated they are to the big picture.
We could be in a bear market, recession headlines could be screaming, and yet…You’ll still find a $1 stock running to $3 on no revenue and a flashy PR.
You’re hunting volatility, momentum, and opportunity, and in penny stock land, that stuff exists daily.
While everyone else is glued to the macro show, be the trader watching for that low-float runner with news and volume.
Because that’s what leads to the explosive, profitable trades.
For more trading advice, I hope you’ll be around this Thursday, May 15th, at 7 pm ET.
I’m going live for a special emergency market briefing with trading genius Jack Kellogg…
Why now?
Because Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent just dropped a warning that trade negotiations could drag on into June…
And with Trump’s tariff pause ending in July, uncertainty is building fast.
Jack knows we’re staring down the barrel of a new wave of volatility, and he’s not backing off…
In fact, he sees a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity….
That’s why, during Thursday’s live event, Jack will show you how you can take advantage, too.
Plus, he’s giving away a FREE trade idea he believes has the potential to double by 2025, regardless of what happens with tariffs.
Thousands have already lined up to hear what Jack has to say on Thursday. Don’t be left out!
Reserve your spot now for the Trade War Lifeline Summit.
Have a great day, everyone. See you back here tomorrow.
