4 Big Board Penny Stocks to Watch: CLEU KXIN PXLW SENS

On Tuesday, NASDAQ updated the record high, driven by improving investor sentiment. Recently, the FDA’s full approval of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine, which has been used for less than a year, raised hopes of a quicker economic recovery.Despite the surging number of COVID-19 cases caused by the Delta variant, economists don’t expect full-scale lockdowns as the ones implemented last year. The stock market has also been boosted by a strong earnings season and hopes that the Fed would keep its ultra-loose monetary policy tone.Lauren Goodwin, economist and portfolio strategist at New York Life Investments, told Reuters:

“The market can continue to grind higher as long as earnings momentum continues to build. It accurately reflects the balance of risks that investors see right now. Despite some of the building concerns around Delta variant, the base case for many investors is that it will slow, not derail the economy.”

A rally in US-listed Chinese technology stocks contributed to the increase of NASDAQ. In the present article, we’ll discuss two Chinese companies listed on the tech-oriented stock exchange.

Wanzhong operates an independent three-year college and a four-year college and generates annual revenue of about $15.3 million. China Liberal’s cash and equivalents totaled $5.01 million at the beginning of the year, so the acquisition should rely on the transfer of ordinary shares.Last month, CLEU added two new members to its Board and secured some strategic partnerships.All in all, CLEU seems to have bottomed out, as it has been heavily shorted in the previous weeks. There is short squeeze potential in CLEU, especially if the Reddit Rebellion discovers this Big Board penny stock.
