As we move into June, I've pinpointed three top penny stocks that could be excellent long-term investments. While many investors, myself included, have been watching the cryptocurrency market, especially Bitcoin ( BTC-USD ) as it aims for another new all-time high, there are also some compelling penny stocks that I believe offer great value.

When the stock market pushes too high too fast, sudden corrections can reveal several oversold stocks for a short-term surge. Reasons for large dips include simple differences of opinion on a company's prospects, short-term holders exiting positions with long-term potential, or negative events that temporarily spook fair-weather investors.

Due to the fact that the stock market is in a constant state of flux, high-reward penny stocks often surface as hidden gems, luring purchasers with the promise of substantial rewards. Investing in such companies carries some risk but is a good way for smart investors to get rich.

Penny stocks are presenting as attractive buys right now as the valuations of larger-cap firms continue to stretch. The price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of the S&P 500, for example, sits at 24.59x earnings, roughly in line with its long-term average.

While current dry bulk shipping charter rates are nothing to write home about, leading containership lessors Costamare and Danaos Corporation recently made moves to enter the space. Castor Maritime recently joined Danaos Corporation by taking a significant stake in competitor Eagle Bulk Shipping. I believe shareholders would have been way better off if Castor Maritime had repurchased its own common shares at the current 90%+ discount to net asset value.
