$5 Stocks That Analysts Expect to Double

BOSTON (TheStreet) -- Investors in stocks that trade for less than $5 think of nothing more than a quick return.

Some are lucky enough to double their money. Some get wiped out. After all, many large investment firms bar their own managers and traders from holding stocks that cost less than $5. Still, owning a stock that is volatile enough to double in price is Wall Street's version of the brass ring.

To find under-$5 stock candidates for a big return, turn to hard-to-find analysts' reports. Some analysts have boldly predicted that a handful of $5 stocks could double in price over the next several months.

TheStreet sought out five stocks that currently trade below $5 primed to double by examining U.S. companies with coverage by no fewer than five analysts. The following five companies made the grade.
