Top 10 Penny Stocks To Invest In Right Now

We're in the midst of a busy earnings week, and announcements between yesterday's close and today's open weren't particularly impressive to investors. That caused a broad sell-off, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES: ^DJI  ) is down 0.83% near the end of trading, while the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC  ) is off 1.35%.

Intel (NASDAQ: INTC  ) reported a slightly disappointing quarter, with revenue falling 2% to $12.6 billion and earnings per share of $0.40 falling a penny below expectations. The PC business fell 6%, but that's not so bad, given the 14% decline in PC sales reported by IDC earlier this month. Growth in cloud computing helped push data center sales 7.5% higher on a big pickup in server demand. These weren't really impressive numbers, but the stock is up 0.6% today because they could have been much worse. There's still concern about the decline in the PC, but management kept its full-year guidance intact, which indicates a bullish outlook on growth markets like servers and mobile.�

Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Brian Stoffel]

  Rising Star Jim Mueller has built his portfolio around companies with stock prices that show the market's unreasonable distaste for them.

  Sometimes it takes awhile for his bets to pay off, but when they do, he's handsomely rewarded. Just consider his double-dipping buys of Dendreon (Nasdaq: DNDN  ) , a pharmaceutical company that's recently seen its fortunes improve on the basis of its prostate drug Provenge. Though the stock didn't do too much for Jim in 2011, it's up 94% for him in 2012!

  He thinks the same could happen with GameStop, a company that analysts have written off as a dying bricks-and-mortar retailer. But Jim says the company is refusing to die, taking three solid steps to solidify its future.

• GameStop's PowerUp Rewards program is catching on with customers, growing from 4.5 million members to 15.5 million in just a year's time.
• The company is strengthening its digital business with Impulse (a downloading site), Kongregate (a casual gaming site), and Spawn Labs (a cloud gaming subsidiary).
• It is working with content providers and console providers to strengthen these digital channels.
