Letting it pick low dollar investment stocks.

How will these stocks fare in the coming weeks and months? On cursory research of each none are presented as strong buys. In the case of Sorrento there is a lot of caution as the company rejected being purchased in 2020 and eventually filed for bankruptcy in 2023. Mainz Biomed is the only one that would appear to have a positive future with SoundHound coming in right behind it. Stay tuned for updates.
