4 Penny Stocks Retail Investors Can't Stop Buying

Although retail investors have been investing side-by-side with Wall Street investment banks for more than a century, they've truly asserted themselves as a force to be reckoned with this year.

When retail investors collectively pile into (or out of) a stock, it tends to move. And if there's one thing retail investors love, it's a high-volume penny stock. A penny stock is a company whose shares trade below $5.

According to data from online investing app Robinhood (NASDAQ: HOOD), these are the four most widely held penny stocks.
