Apple’s (NASDQ:AAPL) first-quarter financial results contained some very discouraging signs, making the stock a sell in the near-term. Up until now, it has been easy to defend Apple stock.

Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) hasn’t re-hit all-time lows just yet, but give it time. Lucid stock should decrease in price based on its latest results and guidance updates.

Keeping an eye on what Barclays and other large investment banking firms can provide insights into a stock’s market position.

Adam Aron, the CEO of global movie-theater chain AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC), is a great cheerleader for the company. However, even Aron had to acknowledge a problem that impacted AMC Entertainment’s financial figures this year. As the company continues to bear the weight of massive debt, it’s wise to avoid AMC stock in 2024.          

While it’s not dominating the news cycle like it did during the meme stock craze of 2021, the Reddit (NYSE:RDDT) message board r/WallStreetBets is still going strong.
