Meme stocks are some of the most dangerous investments to make right now. In my view, now may be a good time to sell many top meme stocks that have gone on big runs.

Most meme stocks have legacy underlying businesses that are bleeding cash and have negative growth. These companies are unlikely to provide long-term returns. In fact, they’re more lik ...

AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) stock has spent all but 14 days trading in penny-stock hell so far this year.

Generally, a recession is bad, of course. REITs benefit from a strong economy and therefore, all else held equal, a recession would hurt most REITs. But here's my reasoning for why I think that a coming recession will be beneficial for most REITs: 1) REITs are recession-resistant: Most REITs earn cash flow from long-ter ...

AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) has certainly seen its fair share of upside during recent meme stock rallies. In fact, during this year's recent surge, AMC stock soared as speculators piled into this beaten-down name. Much of this activity was tied to fellow meme stock GameStop (NYSE:GME), and the re-entrance of Keith Gill and retail investors into the name. However, aside from highly speculative factors, there aren't really any fundamental catalysts that suggest this is a stock worth buying right now. So, for ...
