Chances are, you've ordered something online recently.
Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) had to hire 175,000 new workers to meet a surge in demand this year.
That's major fuel for our best penny stock in 2020.
In fact, this one could grow 104% in just a few months.
But it won't stop there.
We're talking about a trend set to outlast the pandemic.
It's going to transform domestic shipping as we know it...
Believe it or not, but the market keeps giving us opportunities to make money despite the bad news about the pandemic.
And to help you zone in on the opportunities with the biggest upside, we've narrowed down three of the best penny stocks to watch today.
Virtually everyone has heard of Zoom Video Communications Inc. – the came-out-of-nowhere winner of the coronavirus pandemic.
With its work-from-anywhere software, Zoom has changed the way we look at our jobs.
And that promises to change the American workplace and the U.S. economy moving forward.
Well, there's also another innovator out there – a tech firm that promises to have a bigger-and-longer-lasting impact on a different sector – the $1.7 trillion U.S. healthcare market.
This company – which I'm referring to as the "Zoom of Healthcare" – could be one of the biggest winners of the COVID-19 pandemic.

In the history of the stock market, there has never been a better time to trade an earnings season than right now… and I have the tools to do it successfully.
It's a volume-tracking tool that can help you make back three months' worth of cash – in two weeks…
You see, the market is still facing incredible amounts of volatility. While some of the "too big to fail" companies like Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings and JC Penney are in jeopardy of closing doors and shutting off their lights for good, other companies are elbowing their way to the forefront.
For example, online medical care provider Teladoc Health and teleconferencing provider Zoom Video are a couple of the companies that are blowing second-quarter earnings reports out of the water.
In fact, the online work communications site Slack Technologies reported that the company was up 49% from the year prior.
In addition, online retailers like Amazon and Walmart are experiencing record sales and have hit all-time highs over the past few weeks. AMZN just reported that it is up 26% from the year prior on Q1 earnings.
The bottom line is that stocks are moving big time… and that means you can profit.
Once the true impact of the coronavirus on companies is revealed, big volume moves are sure to ensue – which means that a large number of stocks get bought or sold at once, creating high-probability, short-term opportunities to profit.
And now is the time to take advantage.
Now, I'm not talking about buying and holding stocks. Nor am I talking about shorting them.
I'm talking about trading options… Full Story

The assumption that the economy will spring back to life in the next few months is gaining traction on Wall Street.

It will change our society and economy permanently.
Just like the Great Depression and the Great Recession, the effects of the "Great Isolation" will linger with us for decades.
But some companies will actually benefit from the changes...

According to the Investment Company institute (ICI), year to date, investors have taken some $291 billion out of mutual funds and exchange-traded funds.
But that's not the whole story. The ICI's numbers represent net flows, meaning there were inflows, but they were dwarfed by outflows.
The real story isn't about net outflows – it's about where the $108 billion that flowed into the market went, and how you can profit from that movement.
ETFs are much better investment vehicles than mutual funds.
They're tradable all day (which means they're infinitely more "liquid" than mutual funds), they're cheaper than mutual funds, and there are thousands of specialty ETFs that mutual funds can't touch.
And today, our Shah Gilani is going to show you where the money went and how to follow it...
