Top Stocks to Watch Today: Thursday, March 18

The list of stocks to watch today is a mixed bag…

It includes a gaming stock, an EV play, stocks moving on earnings, and some tickers up on hype.

I’ve seen some increased volume come back to my favorite stocks — OTCs. A couple of higher-priced ones even made it on today’s list.

But I’m still trading safely in this bubble market.

And the best way to do that is to cut losses quickly. But there’s another side to that … Taking profits quickly.

I’m not swinging for home runs, and I never hold and hope. I almost always sell too soon. But I’m OK with that. Taking profits along the way allows small gains to add up over time.

Now, here’s my list of the top 10 stocks to watch today…

10 Stocks to Watch for Thursday, March 18, 2021

Remember, this is a watchlist, not a ‘must trade’ list. I’m not always right, and I don’t trade everything I watch. That’s why you should never blindly follow or buy anyone’s stock picks — even mine.

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.) 

The stocks on this list aren’t penny stocks. Even if I rarely trade higher-priced stocks, their movements can still affect stocks within my price range. So to me, they’re worth watching.

Now, here are 10 top stocks to watch today…

Stocks to Watch Today #1: Roblox Corporation (NYSE: RBLX)

Roblox is last week’s hot gaming IPO. Yesterday it broke out to new highs. A report was released that says video game sales could reach over $189 billion this year.

The stock failed to hold the breakout level so traders can watch for a morning panic.

 

Stocks to Watch Today #2: Voyager Digital Ltd. (OTCQB: VYGVF)

Yesterday, VYGVF broke out to new all-time highs. There’s no recent news about the company. But traders can watch for continued upside following the technical breakout.

But I never recommend chasing. I prefer dip-buying panics.

 

Stocks to Watch Today #3: Koss Corporation (NASDAQ: KOSS)

KOSS was up yesterday morning in sympathy to GameStop Corp. (NYSE: GME). Then they both retreated back to opening prices.

KOSS is a low float stock and could have volatile moves to the upside or downside. Traders can watch GME for direction — KOSS tends to follow suit.

 

Stocks to Watch Today #4: aTyr Pharma, Inc. (NASDAQ: LIFE)

On Monday, LIFE announced positive data from its Phase 2 clinical trial. The company is also due to report fourth-quarter earnings on March 23.

Traders can watch for a breakout over $6.31.

Stocks to Watch Today #5: Lizhi Inc. (NASDAQ: LIZI)

LIZI was moving Tuesday after Citron Research tweeted with its $30 price target for the stock.

The StocksToTrade add-on Breaking News Chat alerted the news. It spiked fast, halted, and reopened $3 higher.

Yesterday the stock closed weak. Traders can watch for a morning panic dip buy.

Stocks to Watch Today #6: J.Jill, Inc. (NYSE: JILL)

JILL announced fourth-quarter earnings on Tuesday. That day, the stock had a huge move from $5.49 to $9.48 on higher than average volume.

Yesterday the stock held its highs. Traders can watch for more upside.

Earnings winners can run longer than you think. I go over earnings winners and other catalysts in my most comprehensive DVD, “How to Make Millions.”

 

Stocks to Watch Today #7: iHeartMedia, Inc. (NASDAQ: IHRT)

Tuesday, IHRT had a gap up and a big green day on high volume.

Yesterday the stock held up. Traders can watch for a breakout over $19.10.

 

Stocks to Watch Today #8: LendingClub Corporation (NYSE: LC)

LC has been running since it announced fourth-quarter earnings on March 10. On Monday, ARK Fintech Innovation ETF announced it increased its stake in the company.

Yesterday the stock continued to make new recent highs. I wouldn’t chase it. Traders can watch for a morning panic dip buy opportunity.

 

Stocks to Watch Today #9: Volkswagen AG (OTCPK: VWAGY)

VWAGY is touting its plans to overtake Tesla, Inc. as the global EV leader all over social media. The company also plans to double its EV deliveries this year alone.

“The Group aims to be the global market leader for electric mobility by 2025 at the latest,” VW said Tuesday. Read the full press release here. 

The stock’s up a lot, mostly due to hype and press releases. It’s another one I wouldn’t chase. Traders can watch for a dip buy opportunity.

 

Stocks to Watch Today #10: Oncternal Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: ONCT)

Yesterday morning ONCT had a short squeeze as it broke out to new multi-year highs. The stock had multiple green days in a row. It’s in the hot biotech sector and it’s a former multi-day runner.

Traders can watch for continued upside.

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.
