5 of the Top Penny Stocks to Watch This Week – and One to Buy

It's earnings season again, and investors are looking for the next stock to pop on earnings news.

But you can find even higher upside with our list of the top penny stocks to watch this week.

Earnings season is here.

While that might mean profits for Wall Street's big companies, it typically means one thing for the rest of us: volatility.

You see, the majority of stocks make 80% of their significant annual market moves during earnings.

And that results in roller coaster market moves that can throw returns into turmoil.

However, it's not all bad news.

Last week, the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 496 points, putting it within 1.5% of its all-time high.

In order to help you cash in on these historic market returns, we're bringing you the top 10 penny stocks to buy this week.

You see, the right penny stocks can deliver shareholders ridiculous returns.

Just look at last week's top penny stock, Vital Therapies Inc. (NASDAQ: VTL).

Last week, Vital jumped 160% on reports the company was on the verge of a lucrative merger.

That's a tremendous gain.
