Bottom Line: With the connection Dr. Philip Frost has had with profitable penny stock investments, one has to wonder whether or not PGLC will be the nest hot penny stock to charge. Dreams Inc is a great company and had been so stagnant and had had such low volume that it flew under our radar.
We congratulate Dr. Philip Frost and all the DRJ shareholders in what is a great day to celebrate a good day in the market booking profits on one of today’s hot penny stocks.
