4 Top Performing Tech Stocks Under $20 With Room to Run

Investing doesn’t always pertain to large amount of capital and massive thinking abilities, sometimes it is about taking the right call no matter how small the stock appears. In fact, beginning small can be a good way to get familiar with the market. The catch is to spot low-priced stocks that also have extremely robust fundamentals.

Warren Buffet once said that “Price is what you pay. Value is what you get.” So how can investors be assured that the low-valued stocks they are pondering would yield substantial returns over the long term? Fundamentally, there is no magic formula or set theory but there are little complexities that make these stocks more desirable.

Investor returns are large with even a tiny gain in stock price, as the percentage gain on such stocks is proportionately much above average.

Stocks that trade within $20 tend to be more unpredictable than their costlier peers. However, investors can shovel up huge return with the correct low-priced stocks.
