I recommended my friend buy QTMM last Monday when it was .08, Fidelity wouldn't let him buy. He was really mad when he saw it was at .14 on Friday and said he doesn't want to look at it now :)
Another friend has Robinhood and the companies that she can buy are limited. I do believe the newer traders are giving a boost to many penny stocks but they are using a different broker than Robinhood.
I think the penny community should be buying this week if we get a green open. I expect some normal profit taking soon but maybe not. Let's see! Their have been a few exceptions where the stock just rallied day after day. Would be nice here.
