Leju (NYSE:LEJU) stock is on the rise Tuesday as Chinese stocks rally as the country comes out of a market holiday yesterday.
Specifically, stock markets in Hong Kong and mainland China were closed Monday for May Day. Mainland China’s markets will also remain closed today and tomorrow but will resume trading on Thursday.
It appears that this is part of the reason that LEJU shares are rising today as Chinese stocks undergo a rally today with the Hong Kong market reopening. However, that’s not the only thing traders need to know about LEJU stock today.

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.
