We are rapidly approaching the end of the year. It’s going to be here before we know it. So, it’s time to start thinking

about what penny stocks we should put on our radar for 2016.

Although the calendar year means very little to the financial markets, there does tend to be certain themes from year to

year. For instance 2015 was definitely a tough year for energy stocks, but a good

one for technology.

but it will certainly give a reasonable indication of the overall sector

(regardless of company size). As you can see, the materials sector basically fell off

a cliff in the early summer.

Investors who like to rotate among sectors may be thinking that energy is

the way to go next year. However, I think energy is going to continue to be a

painful experience for investors for the time being.

There’s still a huge glut of oil and gas on the market. And, new carbon rules could

hurt fossil fuel industries even more. (Although, that could be a good thing for

renewable energy.)

On one hand, the US economy is certainly on the right track. The Fed is set to raise rates this month because of

the strength of recent US economic data. The strong jobs market is just one sign

of the improving economic fundamentals.

On the other hand, China may have finally bottomed out. If the economy starts turning around in the world’s

second biggest economy, the demand for basic materials could grow exponentially.

I believe an increase in global demand will hit the materials market well before it impacts the energy market. Products like steel and copper are in good shape to get

a boost in the coming year.

Fortunately, there are a multitude of penny stocks in the basic material

sectors. Generally speaking, there are several small mining companies trading

at penny stock prices.

However, and as always, do plenty of research before making any investing

decisions. Having sales/delivery contracts in place is a good place to start when looking at developmental miners.
