Top Stocks to Watch Today: Friday, February 19

Due to demand, my ‘stocks to watch today’ posts now focus on higher-priced stocks… 

Today’s list of stocks to watch includes quite a few making new all-time highs. In penny stocks, that can generally lead to more excitement about a stock. But these higher-priced stocks may not trade the same patterns, so don’t try to predict any moves.

Large-cap stocks also tend to follow the overall markets more closely — and it was ugly yesterday.

I don’t trade higher-priced stocks myself. But if you do, make sure you have a strategy that works for you and includes a risk management plan. Remember my #1 rule and cut losses quickly.

I’ve been warning traders this bubble market could burst at any moment. Trade safely!

Here’s the list of top 10 stocks to watch today.

10 Stocks to Watch for Friday, February 19, 2021

But there’s always something you can learn.

Watch out for patterns that fit your strategy. Always have a trading plan for every trade. Here are some resources to help you get started:

If you’ve been following my blog and lessons, you know I love to trade low-priced stocks. (To learn more about trading penny stocks, get my FREE guide here.)

Frequently Asked Questions About Stocks to Watch Today

What Are the Best Stocks to Trade as a Beginner?

My favorite stocks to trade are penny stocks. I think they’re a great way for beginners to learn the trading process with a small account.

Can You Get Rich Trading Stocks?

Don’t come into trading with a get-rich-quick mindset. Trading is a marathon, not a sprint. It can be a lucrative career but it takes years of hard work and dedication to learn the nuances of the market — which is what I teach.

How Much Money Do You Need To Start Trading Stocks?

Only start trading with money you can afford to lose. You can start small. In fact, I teach traders to focus on education first to learn the process, then slowly scale up over time.

Is Trading Stocks Risky?

All trading is risky. No trader is right 100% of the time. That’s why I keep my losses small by cutting losses quickly.
