5 Top Penny Stocks to Buy for February 2018
Penny stocks are attractive to new investors because of their affordable share prices below $5.
At these prices, just a modest increase in trading volume can send a stock soaring or plummeting.
But would you have invested $1,000 of your hard-earned savings into a stock trading for under a penny for two years?
Yet this is the reality of penny stock investing. It's a sea of worthless stones with a few diamonds hidden among them.

You Can Profit 328% from CVS Stock Without Buying a Single Share
Earlier this month, CVS Health Corp. announced its $69 billion plan to acquire Aetna Inc., the third-largest health insurer in the United States. If successful, it will be the largest deal of the year – and the largest ever in the health insurance history.
CVS stock has been in focus after the deal, as it's up almost 9% in the last six weeks.
How We Turned Breaking News into 455% Overnight Gains
Hedge funds and institutional trading desks make huge bets on mergers and acquisitions, much like the pending $69 billion proposed buyout of Aetna Inc. by CVS Health Corp.
It's not rocket science.
In fact, merger arbitrage, as the strategy is sometimes called, is easy and can be very profitable.
We just notched a gain of 455% in two days, taking off half of one of the positions we put on to play the proposed CVS-Aetna merger in my Zenith Trading Circle.
The other half of that trade could still yield us 2,600%.
Here's how we did it, and how you can, too...
Score 328% Gains on 2017's Largest Deal Without Buying a Single Stock Share
On Monday, CVS announced its $69 billion plan to acquire the third-largest health insurer in the United States, Aetna. And if it goes through, it will go be the largest deal of the year – and the largest ever in the health insurance history.
Now AET shareholders will get $207 per share and 0.8378 of a share of CVS stock (valuing $62).
But there's a much better way to cash in on this potentially record-breaking deal…
It could more than triple your money in just six weeks.
And it doesn't require you to own - or buy - a single share of stock...
Why I'm Excited About the $70 Billion CVS-Aetna Deal
If you were decorating for the holidays or glued to NFL games last weekend, you might have missed some massive news: CVS Health Corp. announced it'd buy Aetna Inc. for a cool $70 billion.
Of course, the deal had been discussed as a possibility for weeks, but it's finalized now – it looks for all the world like it's going to happen.
In the press release announcing the deal, CVS Health President and Chief Executive Officer Larry J. Merlo said, "This combination brings together the expertise of two great companies to remake the consumer healthcare experience. With the analytics of Aetna and CVS Health's human touch, we will create a healthcare platform built around individuals."
That's putting it mildly. And, in a turn I find completely unsurprising, Wall Street is downplaying and even dismissing the deal.
I think that's a huge disservice to the public. Because I think this deal is one of 2017's biggest.
It's going to be transformational... and a potential goldmine.
