Pyxis Tankers Inc. (Nasdaq: PXS) is among the top penny stocks to watch for December after climbing 123% last week, and then another 120% by noon on Monday, Dec. 4.
Pyxis is a Greece-based liquid fuel transporter operating a fleet of six double-hull tankers in the United States.

(NYSE: STNG) attracted unusually high speculation in the sector.
