Small-cap stocks always produce their best rallies following recessions - with hundreds of stocks going up 500% or more.

S&A Editor in Chief Brian Hunt has spent more than a decade figuring out how to optimize trades in these tiny stocks. His strategy is simple: He only trades them when they're going up by leaps and bounds, which is about once every 10 years.

They are starting to soar again, so Hunt has teamed up with colleague Tom Dyson to write Penny Trends, a weekly trading service. If history is any guide, these guys will recommend more than a dozen triple-digit winners over the next 12-18 months.
