If you are looking for cheap artificial intelligence stocks, here are 10 artificial intelligence (AI) penny stocks under $10 and $5 to consider:

1. Ideanomics, Inc. (IDEX)

Ideanomics is mostly referred to as a financial technology company headquartered in New York, however, most of the company’s revenue is coming from its EV business. The company currently fronts as a FinTech company and promotes itself heavily as an EV company concurrently, capitalizing on the popularity of and Wall Street’s bullishness on the two sectors.

The company is so multifaceted that a lot of investors and traders find it difficult to understand what it’s all about, and some even question if it is a real company. To understand IDEX, one has to go back to the very beginning.

Ideanomics was founded in 2004 and went public as a media company in 2017, and over the years, through a series of acquisitions, the company has positioned itself as ‘many things’. It incorporates artificial intelligence and blockchain technology in building out its fintech products, as such it’s an AI, Blockchain, Fintech, and EV stock, basically, the kind of story stock Wall Street traders love to swing.

Simply put, the company’s focus is basically investing in trending technologies. It invested in cryptocurrencies, IoT, and autonomous driving among other trending themes. The company’s portfolio includes dbot, Intelligenta (an AI-based solution), Liquefy (a blockchain technology platform), Logistorm (an IoT company), Solectrac (a smart electric tractor company), Timios (a real estate transaction platform), Treeletrick (an electric bike company) and Wave (an EV charging solution provider).

In a market that is extremely speculative, IDEX is the perfect stock for experienced speculators and short-term story traders. You could make a lot of money swinging this stock, In Mid-November 2020, its stock traded around $1 per share, 9-10 weeks later it was trading around $5 per share. Over 400% return in 9 – 10 weeks!

And I also believe that there could be a long-term play with IDEX. The company is investing in really promising markets, as such, it should not be downplayed, IDEX could become another NIO (I wouldn’t be surprised if it does). Investors today buy stories and IDEX has a lot of promising stories to sell.
