It can sometimes be challenging to separate the best penny stocks to buy from the trash in the market.
But there are undeniably some fantastic companies offering massive upside right now. One example is our top penny stock today, with 257% return potential, which we're about to show you...
There are several ways to uncover the real gems that can soar by several multiples of the current stock price. We are always looking for ways to discover the overlooked companies with bright futures that are temporarily trading for less than $5 a share.
One of the easiest and most effective ways to find the top penny stocks is to watch for big insider purchases in the open market.
Buying in the open market means somebody wrote a check with their own money to buy shares of the company they run.
