I'm not a pumper and don't generally recommend stocks to people. The penny plays are exciting because of the huge upside potential, but rarely hit.
If you want some upside potential from a regular stock, put some $$ into nvidia NVDA. It has gone way up this year and will likely continue the trajectory. Maybe you make 1x or 2x.
Not what you were expecting here, but less volatility and minimal downside.
Slow and steady usually wins the race. Its nice to hit a grand slam, but the doubles add up if you keep hitting them. Good luck.
