George Soros picks the best stocks under $15

Many investors prefer to invest in lower-priced stocks (especially those priced below $15) because they believe that the potential upside can be much greater than with higher-priced stocks. Moreover, for investors with modest portfolios, it is significantly cheaper to build a large position in lower-priced stocks. Would it surprise you, then, to find out that billionaire George Soros has invested a significant portion of his portfolio in stocks priced less than $15?

James Altucher of Stockpickr.com recently did a bit of financial sleuthing and found that George Soros has invested in nearly a dozen stocks currently trading for less than $15 -- including a few stocks that have been favorites of day traders. The stocks favored by Soros include names like Level 3 Communications (ticker: LVLT), JetBlue (ticker: JBLU), Wind River Systems (ticker: WIND) and Marvell Technology (tickr: MRVL). For a full list of the $15 and under stocks, check out the George Soros portfolio on Stockpickr.com. 

What are some other stocks trading for less than $15 that are favorites with the TradeKing community?

Based on what I've seen,  ETrade seems to be a very popular trade under $15

I just purchased a small amount of ETFC, and hopefully it will do me right.  As far as one of his other picks, LVLT, I own some of this and it has been a real stinker for me so far.  I cant wait for it to get to a price where I can unload it!
