Lion Group (NASDAQ: LGHL ) stock is rocketing higher on Tuesday despite a lack of news from the trading platform operator today.
There’s been no new press releases or filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that explain why shares of LGHL stock are on the move today. Instead, it looks like investors can thank heavy trading for the current rally.
As of this writing, more than 16 million shares of the company’s stock have changed hands. To put that in perspective, the daily average trading volume of LGHL stock is closer to about 1.9 million shares.
Investors will also keep in mind that LGHL is a penny stock. That comes from its low trading price of about 12 cents, as well as its market capitalization of $7.326 million. These two factors make it easy for speculative traders to manipulate the shares.

On Penny Stocks and Low-Volume Stocks: With only the rarest exceptions, InvestorPlace does not publish commentary about companies that have a market cap of less than $100 million or trade less than 100,000 shares each day. That’s because these “penny stocks” are frequently the playground for scam artists and market manipulators. If we ever do publish commentary on a low-volume stock that may be affected by our commentary, we demand that?InvestorPlace.com’s writers disclose this fact and warn readers of the risk.
