Canada-based cannabis companies have by-and-large had a rough past couple of years, but this has been especially the case for Aurora Cannabis (NASDAQ:ACB) stock.

Blue-chip stocks are considered a more conservative way to invest, relative to more speculative names like early-stage growth stocks or penny stocks. However, that doesn’t mean owning them offers a guaranteed path to solid returns.

When a company issues a quarterly press release, typically it will put a positive spin on the company’s recent performance. That’s fine, but it means that investors should view Plug Power’s (NASDAQ:PLUG) latest earnings letter with a skeptical eye.

Whether you’re risk-inclined or not, Tilray Brands (NASDAQ:TLRY) isn’t a promising investment as a cannabis stock, let alone an alcohol play.  The company has made some moves within the alcohol sector,which I’ll get to in a minute, but its core business continues to underperform.

With stocks with high exposure to the artificial intelligence mega-trend pulling back recently, now may be the time to make an exit from overvalued AI stocks.

If you are a public equities investor betting on the digital economy, semiconductor stocks would have to be in your portfolio.

Adam Aron, the CEO of global movie-theater chain AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC), cited the new Barbie movie in the company’s latest quarterly earnings report. I suppose we should have expected Aron to be enthused about Barbie‘s success. But will it be enough to bring AMC stock back to its former glory? Not likely.

There’s been plenty of talk about a recession that hasn’t arrived. Although the recession talks have been around for a few years, you can only kick that can down the road so far before it comes full circle.

As much as I love good dividend stocks, I have very little patience for F-rated dividend stocks that do nothing but drag your portfolio down. As an investor, you deserve better!

By no means is this discussion about meme stocks to sell an indication that you should avoid the sector altogether. Sometimes, it’s good to just have fun (responsibly, of course) in the market.

The U.S. equity valuations continue their remarkable trend upward, well beyond anyone’s expectations in 2023. The major indices appreciated amid expectations of a soft landing for the economy as the Federal Reserve battles inflation.

For a hot minute, Wall Street loved electric vehicle (EV) battery technology company QuantumScape (NYSE:QS). Then, financial traders turned against the company and QS stock quickly coughed up its gains. Frankly, it’s just too risky to invest in QuantumScape now. Don’t get the wrong idea.

With pharmaceutical companies, it’s all about the pipeline of new medications.
