None of these are penny stocks. Your thoughts are appreciated on these.

NBG - National Bank of Greece
- Greece economy play. Trying to get out from bail out program. More hope of ECB stimulus. Beaten down too badly in 2013 and 2014. Very less chance that this would drop any further as there are no many big sellers but many big buyer waiting to jump in.
Risk: opposition threatening to pull out from bailout if they win in election in few months (but its opposition, they always rant until they are in power), no ECB stimulus (which is unlikely)

YRCW - YRC Worldwide (Trucking company holdings)
- Benefit from US economy. They were once $9 billion revenue. Were lost for many years, and fianlly some positive earnings. All the issues (teamsters deal, debt pushed to 2019) were sorted out earlier this year. All mess cleaned up. Renewing the fleets. Now they only need revenue. All other trucking company doing really well. If US economy is really picking in faster pace they are the one likely boosting their revenue.
Risk: a company that had dodged the bankruptcy earlier this year.

HPJ High Power International (Chinese battery company)
- Micro cap. Just 100$ million mkt cap but its 150$ million revenue.
- Trying to enter into Electric Vehicle market (batteries).
- Lithium ion batteries. Analyst has price target 15$, 12% and 24$ when current PPS is 5.30$. Hige potential of Lithium Ion batteries.
- support of Chinese Government. China is in war with pollution.
- trying to woo american investors.
- very low float, insider holds more than 41% (I think, need to check).
Risk: Chinese company (Hey, but it is is traded through nasdaq).
- Already 200% up in 2014.
