BOSTON (TheStreet) -- Citigroup(C), Sprint Nextel(S) and Quantum(QTM) may be the best inexpensive stocks for 2011, analysts say.
Others may find more value in stocks trading under $5, which typically don't receive attention from mutual funds due to their miniscule share prices. Many of these low-priced stocks have proven to be winners, including SMTC Corp.(SMTX), Wabash National(WNC) and Callon Petroleum(CPE), all of which more than tripled this year.
In January, Jamie Dlugosch ofInvestorPlace offered five penny stocks that offered potential rewards in 2010. Some fared incredibly well, while others languished.
