Markets have barely moved since April, but you don't have to be saddled with sideways returns. That's why we're showing you the top penny stocks to watch this week, including one winner to buy now.
Since April 1, the S&P 500 has not moved more than 1% in any trading session.
Meanwhile, the CBOE volatility index has fallen over 30% since March 25, a sign stocks are moving very little in day-to-day trading. The last time volatility fell this much was in October 2018 - right before stocks tanked and volatility went through the roof.
That could mean volatility hitting lows again could just be the calm before the storm. Fortunately, the best penny stocks offer the sort of upside that will pad your pockets when volatility returns.
You see, because of their low share prices, penny stocks can be huge winners when volatility spikes, generating massive returns on the smallest price movement.
That's what happened during October's volatility spike, when Inuvo Inc. (NYSE: INUV) jumped 197% at the end of the month.
Thankfully, you can lock in these kinds of returns with ease when the next wave of volatility hits - as long as you have the right penny stocks.
