Cassava Sciences (NASDAQ:SAVA), the Alzheimer’s disease (AD) drug company, certainly has had a rough time.

Just because we hit retirement, doesn’t mean we’re making a total shift to bonds. There are still stocks to buy that are both interesting and profitable.

Rejection can be painful, especially if you’re a longtime investor in Canadian cannabis company Sundial Growers (NASDAQ:SNDL).

While some investors like to manage their portfolios actively, others prefer to buy stocks under $100 for the long term. This means holding onto shares for as long as thirty years, or even forever.
