10 Best Penny Stocks to Buy Now

Let's talk penny stocks. We've all played with them at one time or another, buying shares of a company trading at $1.00 or less because the stock was cheap.

Maybe you read online that a penny stock's price was likely to skyrocket because some big piece of news is going to be announced soon. Maybe your golfing buddy told you to checkout a penny stock and get in before it's too late.

Sometimes penny stock trades work out great and you can book a quick win, but often times the share price stays flat (or even goes down) and the whole trade was a giant waste of time and money.

Trading penny stocks can often feel like gambling, because you're putting up a small amount of money hoping for a big win. You can also lose all your money when you make the wrong bet.

But what if you could take the guess work out of trading penny stocks? Well, there might be a way to do that. We've gathered analyst research reports from every Wall Street firm on every public company whose shares are trading for under $1.00. There are literally thousands of these reports.

Our team sifted through them and found the ten penny stocks that Wall Street's top analysts are nearly universally bullish about. They believe these companies will have incredible upside in the next twelve months.
