While for the most part Wall Street tends to keep away from stocks priced in the single digits, sometimes the best opportunities, for aggressive investors, lie there. Typically, stocks priced under $5 are not margin-able, and they are rarely on the top picks at the major firms we cover. Nevertheless, they can offer significant upside and are priced low enough that smaller investors can own a larger number of shares.
