The Top Penny Stock to Buy This Week

Callon Petroleum Co. (NYSE: CPE) is a petroleum and natural gas exploration firm based in Houston, Texas.
With most of the company's drilling operations based in the Permian Basin, the firm has been cashing in on the global boom in demand for American oil exports.
And that's not slowing down anytime soon. According to analysts at World Oil, oil drilling is expected to rise by 2.7% in 2020, outpacing 2018's growth of 2.5%.
And this kind of aggressive growth is fuelling Callon's bottom line. Callon's profits more than doubled between 2017 and 2018.
In addition, the firm is paying close attention to the growing demand for sustainable energy production.
In 2019, Callon joined the Environmental Partnership Organization - an oil industry project focused on reducing the environmental impact of oil and gas production.
With an emphasis on the long-term environmental impact of the energy industry, it's clear that Callon is focused on ensuring their business - and profits - are sustainable long into the future.
Currently, Callon trades for $4.82 a share. However, with significant profit catalysts on the horizon, analysts see the company's stock jumping to $13 a share - a 169% leap over today's share price.
Anyone Can Become an Angel Investor with as Little as $50
Angel investing used to be off limits to the average American... but Shark Tank's Robert Herjavec said it best during this live broadcast: "The walls have finally come down. You no longer have to be rich, famous, or powerful to become an angel investor!"

By becoming an angel investor, you can be right there - one of the first to invest in the next Steve Jobs, the next Bill Gates, or the next Elon Musk.
And because you're there at the beginning, the upside is infinitely greater.
For so long, regular folks have been locked out... but not anymore.
