The stock market has almost reached a yearly high due to a positive outlook on the economic forecast from Bernanke saying the "recession is over."  Although it's over, the long journey back to a prosperous economy will take a while.  To every bad side, there is a good side.  The good side is everything is cheap, well except gas, but if you take a look at the stocks - there's tons of bargains!  I've been looking at penny stocks - stocks that cost less then a dollar or so and I've assembled a list worth checking out:

• dgly
• kool
• oste
• zixi
• io
• wave
• ctic

If you have some spare money to burn, penny stocks are worth checking out and it's great way to learn about the stock market without costing you and arm or a leg.  Good luck!
