The Canadian market has been experiencing significant shifts following the decisive U.S. election outcome, which removed a major source of uncertainty and led to a strong rally in stocks, including record highs for the TSX. In such an evolving landscape, investors often look beyond established giants to explore opportunities in lesser-known areas like penny stocks. Although the term "penny stocks" might seem outdated, these investments can still offer potential growth by focusing on smaller or newer companies with robust financial health.
