Stocks are off to a strong start to 2019, with the S&P 500 rebounding nearly 10% so far year to date. But we're not looking for just 10% gains. We're trying to find the stocks that can easily double your money.
That's why we're bringing you the 10 best penny stocks to watch this week.
Thanks to their low share price, penny stocks have the ability to deliver investors tremendous gains on a price swing of just a few cents.

However, while the gains may seem easy, finding the best penny stock to invest in is harder than it looks.
You see, there are over 2,800 stocks trading on the NYSE and Nasdaq for less than $5 - the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's definition of a penny stock.
