Stocks to Watch: 

THCZ — This stock has been pretty hot over the past couple of weeks rising up from sub a penny to striking .047 cents yesterday and still appears to be wanting to continue to run. This is a player in the HEMP industry distributing drinks. Watch for this one to run. 

ENIP — This stock has given up massive gains over the past few sessions and has sunk to some pretty low levels. It was previously on trader’s watch list and continues to remain a large percentage mover. Watch for this one to possibly make a little run upward. 

Also, keep an eye on ERBBERBBtoday. This stock has been sinking to its 52-week low. Typically when stocks become oversold, they sometimes can have a knee jerk reaction upward which can sometimes escalate into a rally or at least the beginning of upward momentum. Regardless, 52-week lows present excellent buying opportunities for investors and traders alike.
