Not all profits have to be made off the big names like Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) or Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN). While those big names tend to dominate the headlines, the smaller, often overlooked companies can land the same – or even bigger – gains.
Chris Johnson, Quantitative Specialist for Money Morning, views penny stocks as the perfect plays for these big moves. “I’m talking shifts of 100%, 200%, 300% in a matter of days,” says Chris.
And right now, there’s one such penny stock that could rocket 177% higher.
