True penny stocks are a minefield, but small-cap copper
beauties can be
one way to easily double your money.
There are also those companies whose shares trade at the
other end of the price spectrum. I call 'em "three-digit
stocks," though if they're anything like
Berkshire Hathaway , they can trade in the
four-, five-, and six-digit range, too.
While a penny stock might not be a good buy simply because
it's cheap, a three-digit stock shouldn't scare you away just
because it carries a hefty price tag. Handsome is as handsome
does, so we check in with the
Motley Fool CAPScommunity to see which ones might have
the best chance of further succeeding.
Below are a handful of these high-priced highfliers, and
we'll take a look to see if some members of the
investor-intelligence database think they can maintain their
lofty prices.
