FuelCell Energy (NASDAQ:FCEL) peaked on the close of Feb. 9 when it reached $27.96. As of May 26, it was at $9.41. If you didn’t sell your FCEL stock shares in February, there was plenty of time to do so as it fell further. And if you’re still in it for some ridiculous reason, you
Thursday was an incredibly bullish day for wild stocks. The small-caps were strongest adding 3% in two days. The best example was the explosion in AMC (NYSE:AMC) up 35% Thursday alone.
