Hot Stocks lists stocks on US OTC markets that are up more than 5% since the previous close on at least twice their 21-day average volume, biggest gainers first; the top 100 are shown. A big price gain on heavy volume shows real demand rather than a drift in a thin market, and such moves often come from earnings, upgrades or breakouts. Strong moves can extend for days, but late entries carry more risk. OTC stocks trade outside the major exchanges and are often thinly traded penny stocks; the list covers US OTC stocks with at least $100,000 in average daily trading value.
