Penny stocks have fallen lately but that might make it the best time to buy. I’ll reveal the seven best penny stocks under $5 each along with a penny stock screener and how to invest.
We’re still up with an average return of 35% on our penny stock portfolio with some big returns in names like Ryerson Holdings and Tellurian but more than half the stocks have fallen into negative territory on the market crash.
That difference in winners and losers is pretty typical in penny stock investing. I’ll explain why and how to invest in penny stocks along with a screener I use to get you started. Then I’ll reveal seven penny stocks under $5 per share to watch right now!

The iShares Micro-Cap ETF, ticker IWC, is a fund of the 1000 smallest companies in the Russell 3000 index. These are companies with market sizes from $4 million to $4.6 billion so you’ve got some outside the penny stock definition but it’s still a good representation of penny stocks versus the broader market. That group of small cap stocks doubled in just 10 months through March of last year, easily beating the S&P 500 and even tech stocks in the Nasdaq. From there the price stalled though as growth stocks started heading lower and then ultimately fell with the rest of the market in November.
Penny stocks are always going to be more volatile than the rest of the market. That means a tough ride down when the market falls but it also means higher returns on the recovery!
