Last week, the Dow Jones lost 100 points as global uncertainty weighed down stocks.
But one asset class brought investors the opportunity for triple-digit returns: penny stocks.
Just look at last week's top gaining penny stock, Midatech Pharma Plc. (NASDAQ: MTP). On Feb. 26, Midpoint soared from $0.13 to $0.89 - a massive 584% gain.
Midatech closed out the week at $0.52 - a 337% gain for investors who held the stock through to Friday.
Midatech's surge is a perfect example of the value of penny stocks - they can deliver tremendous returns on the smallest price movements.
And that's why we've identified the 10 top penny stocks to buy this week.
That's why we do the digging for you.
Today, we've uncovered a little-known stock under $5 that could soar as much as 127%.
