In today's market it seems every stock is a bad stock. Doesn't matter what you buy. It goes down. But I'm not talking about good stocks caught in a bad market. This is about bad stocks with no earnings and no real prospects, the ones with great stories but nothing else. Lots of promise, but no profits.
There are lots of bad stocks, many more than good ones. Any prudent investor should avoid them. But most of us don't. There's always a story that seems so compelling, so right, so possible, that many of us buy a bad stock even though it has no earnings, or racked up huge losses. It's only human to hope for the best even when the facts tell you the odds are against success.
