As a reminder, the above chart is just a tracking metric for penny stocks on those two exchanges. We only mention companies on the NYSE and Nasdaq because they're regulated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
And although that means these top 10 penny stocks are safer than those trading over the counter or on the pink sheets, you shouldn't buy them without doing extensive research.
