No matter how many warnings experts issue regarding penny stocks, people invariably find their way into this speculative arena. And that issue has become even more prominent thanks to mobile trading apps like Robinhood (NASDAQ:HOOD). With the ability to wager on the full spectrum of investment vehicles right at your fingertips, Robinhood is somewhat of a mixed bag.
On the one hand, let’s at least give credit where it’s due. Prior to the novel coronavirus pandemic, financial analysts bemoaned that younger people were investing at a lower rate than prior generations at their age milestones. Suddenly, with extra time on their hands and government stimulus checks in the mail, many folks started making up for lost time. However, quite a few did so through penny stocks.
That’s not to say that this segment of the market is inherently a poor choice. Many of today’s blue chips once started off as little more than a dream, with share prices reflecting this risk profile. But with patience and truckloads of good fortune, you can make a killing with penny stocks.

Some of them, such as the German giant Volkswagen (VLKAF) and the American automakers Ford (F) and General Motors (GM) , have therefore announced ambitious production targets for the next three years. They promise to produce millions of electric vehicles per year, while they are struggling for the moment to produce 100,000 annually.

I don’t really get the hype for these automotive newcomers. My personal opinion is that I’d rather bet with the stalwarts in the space, even though they too have high valuations. That’s names like Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) and Nio (NYSE:NIO). That or bet on the traditional automakers like Ford (NYSE:F) and General Motors (NYSE:GM). These companies have existing businesses to lean on while they work on EV options.

If Palantir can accelerate its earnings — consider that earnings of 50 cents a share values it at about 50 times earnings — then we could see the stock really fly. Its revenue growth is clearly solid. But if it delivers on the bottom line, there could be a long-term opportunity here.
