Over the last few weeks, our list of the top penny stocks to watch has featured stocks with 100% gains in just a matter of days.
But this week, our top penny stock to watch skyrocketed nearly 300% over the week.
This surging penny stock is a little-known consumer goods company called New Age Beverage Corp. (NASDAQ: NBEV).
On Sept. 18, New Age stock soared 103% on reports that Coca-Cola Co. (NYSE: KO) is considering a takeover bid for the company.
New Age continued to rally for the rest of the week, closing on Friday at a price of $6.15 – a 286% gain over Monday's opening price.

While the gains these stocks made are exciting, they also highlight the danger of investing in penny stocks.
You see, if any penny stock can climb over 287% on good news, it can also fall 50%, 70%, or even 100% just as quickly.
