Global markets have recently experienced significant movements, with U.S. stocks rallying to record highs following a "red sweep" in the elections, indicating investor optimism about potential economic growth and tax reforms. Amidst these developments, investors are increasingly looking beyond traditional large-cap stocks to explore opportunities in smaller companies, often referred to as penny stocks. Although the term "penny stock" may seem outdated, it still captures the essence of investing in smaller or less-established firms that can offer substantial value and growth potential when backed by solid financials and clear strategic direction.
