Every day thousands upon thousands of investors look for viable plays in the penny stock niche. Although these stocks demand a degree of risk tolerance they also offer the possibility of making significant gains. Here is a look at four penny stocks that made notable gains recently.
Vortex Brands Co (OTC:VTXB) – On Monday the company was in prime focus among investors and ended up with gains of 25% amidst heavy action. The rally in the Vortex Brands Co stock was possibly triggered by a significant announcement from the company on June 28. The company announced at the time that it had completed the acquisition of cutting-edge Bitcoin mining machines. It was part of the company’s strategy of doubling its mining capacity.
The new acquisition would help Vortex Brands in boosting its hash power significantly and thereby open up the opportunity to reward its shareholders with bigger quarterly dividends. The machines are going to be deployed strategically across the mining farms operated by the company. The expansion of its mining capacity is an attempt by the company to consolidate its share of the growing Bitcoin mining industry.
Marijuana Company of America Inc (OTC:MJNA) – It was one of the major gainers last Monday after it rallied strongly and ended up clocking gains of 50%. Marijuana Company of America Inc works through a number of subsidiaries and is focused on the development, distribution and production of cannabis and CBD products under the brand name hempSMART.
It is focused entirely on the United States market. The products which are offered by the company comprise hempSMART Brain. HempSMART Brain is a patented personal care product that is meant for brain wellness and is made available in capsules.
