On average, investors are becoming bearish today. The market right now is - understandably - reacting to political and economic drama, at home and abroad.

But here's the thing. There's still plenty of potential left in the market once bearish investors clear out. Those investors don't have the tools to find under-the-radar penny stocks, so they can't flock to them and lower the price.

They have no option but to run away. Penny stocks can also be risky investments, so that's maybe even a safe decision for "the herd."

We, on the other hand, have a proprietary algorithm that helps us find our top penny stocks.

The Money Morning Stock VQScore™ system looks at a stock's underlying financials to determine its earnings potential. It then gives the stock a score between 0 and 4.9, which tells us if it's due for a price jump.

To find our best penny stocks, we simply narrow our top VQScore stocks to those trading under $5.

Our best penny stock today has the highest-possible VQScore of 4.9. That means it's getting ready to skyrocket.

With penny stocks like this one, a small share price gain can mean a large return. This can happen quickly in just days or weeks. And it can happen from just a little bit of good news.

For example, in early September, two penny stocks returned over 90% to investors in just a single week.

Abeona Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ: ABEO) is a small New York--based biotech company. Their shares jumped 95.45% on news that they hired a financial advisor.

FuelCell Energy Inc. (NASDAQ: FCEL) is a Connecticut-based utility firm. They saw a 91.04% increase in share price after announcing a higher-than-expected increase in revenue for Q3 2019.

But we don't recommend either of these as top penny stocks right now, since these events are in the past.

Today's best penny stock is soaring for a much better reason. Its growth is fueled by an industry boom. So its likely 361% growth will be sustainable over the long term.

On top of that, this penny stock's perfect 4.9 VQScore makes a 361% profit all the more certain...

[mmpazkzone name="in-story" network="9794" site="307044" id="137008" type="4"]Antero Resources Corp. (NYSE: AR) is ready to profit from a boom in domestic oil output.

This Denver-based independent oil and gas company focuses on oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids in the United States.

At the end of 2018, it held roughly 486,000 net acres in the Marcellus Shale, 209,000 net acres in the Marcellus Shale leasehold, and 125,000 net acres in the Utica Shale. It also owns and operates hundreds of miles of pipeline in Marcellus and Utica.

Antero reports reserves of 18 trillion cubic feet of natural gas equivalent, 11.4 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, and 46 million barrels of oil.

This firm has positioned itself to profit from the rising output of domestic fossil fuels.

The U.S. Energy Information Administration recently reported that oil output in the United States over the next year is anticipated to jump close to 1.5 million barrels per day.

This increase is not just going to push American production levels to new heights, but it is also going to send this country ahead of Saudi Arabia and Russia when it comes to world oil production.

As the global demand for oil continues to grow, Antero will be able to take on a good portion of this production.

AR is currently trading at $3.26. But analysts have given the stock a high price target of $15. This would give today's investor a 361% upside.
