10 Top Penny Stocks for 2016
Penny Stock: The 10 Top Stocks Under $5 in 2016
The economic outlook for the New Year looks bleak as the Fed’s unpredictable monetary policy and the global economic crises continue to spell trouble for investors at home. Throughout this year and particularly in the last quarter, markets have oscillated up and down, indicating a frenzied investor behavior. Such volatility can open short-lived buying opportunities for penny stock investors in 2016.
Penny stocks are volatile investments that are more often sold than bought, and thus usually trade lower. It’s noteworthy that what might seem like a low-price entry point may actually be too high for the stock. When looking for the right penny stocks, avoid falling for a penny stock trader’s dubious investment pitch. Instead look for stocks with solid financials and having operations in sectors with positive growth prospects.
Ideally, penny stocks trade under $5.00. But to include some cheap but seemingly profitable investments, I’ve picked a few trading under $10.00 as well.
Check out my top ten penny stock picks for 2016 below.
