The first one is a surprising winner in 2021. The other two are surprising laggards. Even though $1,000 will buy you just a couple of shares in some of these names, let's get into why I see these as growth stocks that are about to take off.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5eb5fb95534102c76d3a38d3bea8ad5b\" tg-width=\"2000\" tg-height=\"1333\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>IMAGE SOURCE: GETTY IMAGES.</span></p>\n<p><b>1. Crocs</b></p>\n<p>If you haven't been following Crocs lately you may be surprised at how well the stock has been doing. The maker of hole-filled resin shoes has more than doubled in 2021, nearly quadrupling since the start of last year.</p>\n<p>Crocs has had its ups and downs over the years, but it's clearly on an upswing now. The revival started in 2017 when a new CEO came in just as the maker of unique footwear was posting its third straight year of declining sales. Revenue growth turned slightly positive in 2018 with a 6% increase, followed by back-to-back years of 13% top-line upticks. This year Crocs is running on an entirely different level.</p>\n<p>Back in February Crocs was targeting 20% to 25% revenue gains for all of 2021, a great achievement as it would be nearly doubling its growth from the prior year. In late April the guidance was bumped to 40% to 50% in top-line growth, and this summer it got boosted again. Crocs now sees a 60% to 65% increase in revenue in 2021.</p>\n<p>The pandemic made us appreciate Crocs again. We chose comfort over fashion during the shelter-in-place phase of the pandemic. Now that we're out and about again we're not giving up our Crocs. We're seeing celebrities strutting in Crocs at media events and out in the wild. Crocs are showing up in movies like this summer's&nbsp;<i>Suicide Squad</i>. The stock may have hit&nbsp;an all-time high last week, but with a lot of people still skeptical on the turnaround the bullish argument here is that the rally is just beginning.</p>\n<p><b>2. fuboTV</b></p>\n<p>When you size up the IPO class of 2020, fuboTV should be the teacher's pet. Some debutantes appear to be peaking just before their stock offerings, but the live TV streaming service is&nbsp;stepping on the gas. Let's just go over the top-line performance in fuboTV's first four quarters as a public company.</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Q3 2020: 71% revenue growth.</li>\n <li>Q4 2020: 98% revenue growth.</li>\n <li>Q1 2021: 135% revenue growth.</li>\n <li>Q2 2021: 196% revenue growth.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>A 138% increase in subscribers over the past year coupled with a 30% pop in average revenue per user is why fuboTV's revenue has nearly tripled. The near-term outlook is even more exciting. As a sports-minded streaming service -- with more than three dozen of its over 100 channels dedicated to live sporting events -- it knows its audience. It introduced free-to-play predictive games and live layered stats this summer, and it expects to roll out a sportsbook to allow viewers to place cash bets on the games they're watching before the end of the year.</p>\n<p>Despite the perpetual improvement at fuboTV the stock is roughly where it was when the year began. With sports season heating up, fuboTV's engaged audience will help it win this game.</p>\n<p><b>3. Roku</b></p>\n<p>There are worse things than standing in place, and right now Roku is trading slightly lower in 2021. It doesn't seem fair. Roku continues to be the platform of choice for folks streaming from home, with 38% of all smart TVs rolling out with Roku's operating system as the default factory-installed operating system. If you don't happen to buy a Roku-ready TV you can buy a dongle for as little as $20 to $30 that will plug into one of your TV's HDMI ports.</p>\n<p>This is a growing market, and even if viewing hours slipped this summer as we began to venture outside again the long-term trend is undeniable. We love streaming video entertainment from home. Sunday's Emmy Awards is another reminder that the best shows on TV these days are largely on premium streaming services.</p>\n<p>Despite the slight dip in sequential consumption in its latest quarter and the&nbsp;recent challenge&nbsp;of a competitor introducing its own TVs, Roku has never been better. The record 55.1 million active accounts on the platform at the end of June was a 28% increase from where it was a year ago, and like fuboTV we're seeing average revenue per user advance at a double-digit percentage clip.

Now is a good time to size up some of the stocks on your shopping to list, asking yourself if the stories are getting better even as the stocks are going nowhere.\nYou don't need a lot of money to take advantage of the ups and downs of Wall Street. Just $1,000 can go a long way if you are buying the right growth stocks, and right now I like Crocs (NASDAQ:CROX),fuboTV(NYSE:FUBO), and Roku(NASDAQ:ROKU). The first one is a surprising winner in 2021. The other two are surprising laggards. Even though $1,000 will buy you just a couple of shares in some of these names, let's get into why I see these as growth stocks that are about to take off.\nIMAGE SOURCE: GETTY IMAGES.\n1. Crocs\nIf you haven't been following Crocs lately you may be surprised at how well the stock has been doing. The maker of hole-filled resin shoes has more than doubled in 2021, nearly quadrupling since the start of last year.\nCrocs has had its ups and downs over the years, but it's clearly on an upswing now. The revival started in 2017 when a new CEO came in just as the maker of unique footwear was posting its third straight year of declining sales. Revenue growth turned slightly positive in 2018 with a 6% increase, followed by back-to-back years of 13% top-line upticks. This year Crocs is running on an entirely different level.\nBack in February Crocs was targeting 20% to 25% revenue gains for all of 2021, a great achievement as it would be nearly doubling its growth from the prior year. In late April the guidance was bumped to 40% to 50% in top-line growth, and this summer it got boosted again. Crocs now sees a 60% to 65% increase in revenue in 2021.\nThe pandemic made us appreciate Crocs again. We chose comfort over fashion during the shelter-in-place phase of the pandemic. Now that we're out and about again we're not giving up our Crocs. We're seeing celebrities strutting in Crocs at media events and out in the wild. Crocs are showing up in movies like this summer's Suicide Squad. The stock may have hit an all-time high last week, but with a lot of people still skeptical on the turnaround the bullish argument here is that the rally is just beginning.\n2. fuboTV\nWhen you size up the IPO class of 2020, fuboTV should be the teacher's pet. Some debutantes appear to be peaking just before their stock offerings, but the live TV streaming service is stepping on the gas. Let's just go over the top-line performance in fuboTV's first four quarters as a public company.\n\nQ3 2020: 71% revenue growth.\nQ4 2020: 98% revenue growth.\nQ1 2021: 135% revenue growth.\nQ2 2021: 196% revenue growth.\n\nA 138% increase in subscribers over the past year coupled with a 30% pop in average revenue per user is why fuboTV's revenue has nearly tripled. The near-term outlook is even more exciting. As a sports-minded streaming service -- with more than three dozen of its over 100 channels dedicated to live sporting events -- it knows its audience. It introduced free-to-play predictive games and live layered stats this summer, and it expects to roll out a sportsbook to allow viewers to place cash bets on the games they're watching before the end of the year.\nDespite the perpetual improvement at fuboTV the stock is roughly where it was when the year began. With sports season heating up, fuboTV's engaged audience will help it win this game.\n3. Roku\nThere are worse things than standing in place, and right now Roku is trading slightly lower in 2021. It doesn't seem fair. Roku continues to be the platform of choice for folks streaming from home, with 38% of all smart TVs rolling out with Roku's operating system as the default factory-installed operating system. If you don't happen to buy a Roku-ready TV you can buy a dongle for as little as $20 to $30 that will plug into one of your TV's HDMI ports.\nThis is a growing market, and even if viewing hours slipped this summer as we began to venture outside again the long-term trend is undeniable. We love streaming video entertainment from home. Sunday's Emmy Awards is another reminder that the best shows on TV these days are largely on premium streaming services.\nDespite the slight dip in sequential consumption in its latest quarter and the recent challenge of a competitor introducing its own TVs, Roku has never been better. The record 55.1 million active accounts on the platform at the end of June was a 28% increase from where it was a year ago, and like fuboTV we're seeing average revenue per user advance at a double-digit percentage clip. Roku is a worthy leader among streaming service stocks. The stock taking a small step back in 2021 at a time when the fundamentals continue to move forward makes this a strong candidate to take off once the dust settles.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":257,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":860067721,"gmtCreate":1632108948463,"gmtModify":1676530702855,"author":{"id":"3580436163482352","authorId":"3580436163482352","name":"JohnLoh00","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3580436163482352","authorIdStr":"3580436163482352"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/860067721","repostId":"2168505605","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2168505605","pubTimestamp":1632107672,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2168505605?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-09-20 11:14","market":"us","language":"en","title":"3 Stocks to Add to Your Portfolio in a Market Pull-Back","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2168505605","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"These great stocks are just a little too expensive to be perfect investments right now.","content":"<p>Stocks are expensive right now, with the <b>S&amp;P 500</b> price-to-earnings ratio at its highest level since the dot-com bubble.

At that valuation, I would buy Visa hand over fist as a cash flow generator with uncommon growth potential.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":217,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":887097920,"gmtCreate":1631940583860,"gmtModify":1676530675150,"author":{"id":"3580436163482352","authorId":"3580436163482352","name":"JohnLoh00","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3580436163482352","authorIdStr":"3580436163482352"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/887097920","repostId":"2168574191","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2168574191","pubTimestamp":1631928823,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2168574191?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-09-18 09:33","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Pfizer Covid-19 shot's protection against hospitalisation wanes in study","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2168574191","media":"The Straits Times","summary":"WASHINGTON (BLOOMBERG) - Pfizer's Covid-19 vaccine declined in protection against hospitalisation af","content":"<div>\n<p>WASHINGTON (BLOOMBERG) - Pfizer's Covid-19 vaccine declined in protection against hospitalisation after four months, while Moderna's remained stable, US researchers found in an analysis of data from ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"http://www.straitstimes.com/world/united-states/pfizer-covid-19-shots-protection-against-hospitalisation-wanes-in-study\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n","source":"straits_highlight","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

The researchers noted that the vaccine effectiveness differences between Moderna and Pfizer's shots, which both use a mechanism called messenger RNA, could be due to differences in timings between doses.\nThe second dose of the Pfizer vaccine is typically delivered after three weeks, while Moderna patients wait four weeks.\nThey also noted several limitations to the study, including the fact that a relatively small number of patients had received the J&J vaccine compared with the mRNA vaccines.\nPrevious studies have found that Moderna's vaccine appears to generate more antibodies than Pfizer's, though it's not clear if antibodies are even the most important component in immunity over the long term.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":154,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":885045807,"gmtCreate":1631748395909,"gmtModify":1676530622670,"author":{"id":"3580436163482352","authorId":"3580436163482352","name":"JohnLoh00","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3580436163482352","authorIdStr":"3580436163482352"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/885045807","repostId":"1121883775","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1121883775","pubTimestamp":1631719213,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1121883775?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-09-15 23:20","market":"us","language":"en","title":"For GameStop Stock Investors, Perception May Be Reality That’s in the Way","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1121883775","media":"InvestorPlace","summary":"Now a leaner company, GME stock may be whatever investors want it to be","content":"<p>There are few things more powerful than your own beliefs.

As of tomorrow, Greenidge Class A common stock shares will begin trading on the&nbsp;<b>Nasdaq</b>&nbsp;under the ticker GREE. This morning, though, saw shares of SPRT stock continue the trend of plunging further, despite the merger’s continuous development.</p>\n<p>As we’ve noted previously, SPRT stock has continued to decline over the past week, despite a spike during the week before. Investors chased up shares earlier in September upon news that shareholders would soon vote to approve the merger. The actual vote, though, did not have the same affect, as shares began to decline. Since then, this trend hasn’t stopped.</p>\n<p>As of this writing, shares of SPRT stock are down 30.8% for the day. After briefly surging late in the day on Sept. 9, they have only kept declining. Yesterday saw the stock fall by 9%.</p>\n<p>What It Means</p>\n<p>The deal received overwhelming support from shareholders when it came time to vote, but in the days since, some analysts have expressed concern for the company’s long-term future.</p>\n<p>Some concerns are certainly justified, although part of SPRT stock’s poor performance of late can be attributed to pure uncertainty. The deal is a bit unorthodox given the two companies it involves and how different their dealings are. Nonetheless, this area which has some concerned can also prove beneficial to Support.com and likewise, its shareholders.</p>\n<p>It should be noted that a company like Suport.com saw merging with a company like Greenidge as its best chance at staying relevant in an ever-changing market. The latter is poised to become the first publicly traded<b>Bitcoin</b>(CCC:<b><u>BTC-USD</u></b>) mining company with its own power plant, an area that could allow them to grow considerably. The move has beencalleda Hail Mary pass for Support.com but if that’s true, it’s certainly a well-calculated pass that makes sense at this point in the game.</p>\n<p>Let’s also not forget that while this merger dragged out, Support.com was able to garner meme stock status, a rare feat for a company with a business model as boring as providing digital human resource tools.

As of tomorrow, Greenidge Class A common stock shares will begin trading on the Nasdaq under the ticker GREE. This morning, though, saw shares of SPRT stock continue the trend of plunging further, despite the merger’s continuous development.\nAs we’ve noted previously, SPRT stock has continued to decline over the past week, despite a spike during the week before. Investors chased up shares earlier in September upon news that shareholders would soon vote to approve the merger. The actual vote, though, did not have the same affect, as shares began to decline. Since then, this trend hasn’t stopped.\nAs of this writing, shares of SPRT stock are down 30.8% for the day. After briefly surging late in the day on Sept. 9, they have only kept declining. Yesterday saw the stock fall by 9%.\nWhat It Means\nThe deal received overwhelming support from shareholders when it came time to vote, but in the days since, some analysts have expressed concern for the company’s long-term future.\nSome concerns are certainly justified, although part of SPRT stock’s poor performance of late can be attributed to pure uncertainty. The deal is a bit unorthodox given the two companies it involves and how different their dealings are. Nonetheless, this area which has some concerned can also prove beneficial to Support.com and likewise, its shareholders.\nIt should be noted that a company like Suport.com saw merging with a company like Greenidge as its best chance at staying relevant in an ever-changing market. The latter is poised to become the first publicly tradedBitcoin(CCC:BTC-USD) mining company with its own power plant, an area that could allow them to grow considerably. The move has beencalleda Hail Mary pass for Support.com but if that’s true, it’s certainly a well-calculated pass that makes sense at this point in the game.\nLet’s also not forget that while this merger dragged out, Support.com was able to garner meme stock status, a rare feat for a company with a business model as boring as providing digital human resource tools. Say what you will about Greenidge, but merging with it makes Support.com unquestionably more interesting.\nWhat’s Next for These Companies?\nSupport.com stock has seen plenty of volatility and it may not be over yet, but that doesn’t mean that the company won’t have plenty of opportunity to grow once GREE begins trading and markets can move forward. Tomorrow will hopefully mean the end of this uncertainty, allowing us to finally assess how SPRT stock will perform in a post-merger world.\nThe stock is drawing a lot of criticism right now, but we shouldn’t be so quick to write it off until we see what GREE will do. Support.com’s new partner has plenty of potential.\nAsInvestorPlacecontributor Tom Kerr recently assessed“One thing can be said for certain: now the upside for SPRT stock depends a heck of a lot more on the price of Bitcoin (CCC:BTC-USD).”\nWith that in mind, we should continue to watch and wait.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":84,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":860401147,"gmtCreate":1632193476289,"gmtModify":1676530722508,"author":{"id":"3580436163482352","authorId":"3580436163482352","name":"JohnLoh00","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3580436163482352","authorIdStr":"3580436163482352"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/860401147","repostId":"1159687756","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1159687756","pubTimestamp":1632190724,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1159687756?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-09-21 10:18","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Got $1,000?

Crocs\nIf you haven't been following Crocs lately you may be surprised at how well the stock has been doing.

Some debutantes appear to be peaking just before their stock offerings, but the live TV streaming service is stepping on the gas. Let's just go over the top-line performance in fuboTV's first four quarters as a public company.\n\nQ3 2020: 71% revenue growth.\nQ4 2020: 98% revenue growth.\nQ1 2021: 135% revenue growth.\nQ2 2021: 196% revenue growth.\n\nA 138% increase in subscribers over the past year coupled with a 30% pop in average revenue per user is why fuboTV's revenue has nearly tripled. The near-term outlook is even more exciting. As a sports-minded streaming service -- with more than three dozen of its over 100 channels dedicated to live sporting events -- it knows its audience.

With sports season heating up, fuboTV's engaged audience will help it win this game.\n3. Roku\nThere are worse things than standing in place, and right now Roku is trading slightly lower in 2021. It doesn't seem fair. Roku continues to be the platform of choice for folks streaming from home, with 38% of all smart TVs rolling out with Roku's operating system as the default factory-installed operating system. If you don't happen to buy a Roku-ready TV you can buy a dongle for as little as $20 to $30 that will plug into one of your TV's HDMI ports.\nThis is a growing market, and even if viewing hours slipped this summer as we began to venture outside again the long-term trend is undeniable. We love streaming video entertainment from home. Sunday's Emmy Awards is another reminder that the best shows on TV these days are largely on premium streaming services.\nDespite the slight dip in sequential consumption in its latest quarter and the recent challenge of a competitor introducing its own TVs, Roku has never been better. The record 55.1 million active accounts on the platform at the end of June was a 28% increase from where it was a year ago, and like fuboTV we're seeing average revenue per user advance at a double-digit percentage clip. Roku is a worthy leader among streaming service stocks. The stock taking a small step back in 2021 at a time when the fundamentals continue to move forward makes this a strong candidate to take off once the dust settles.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":257,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":860067721,"gmtCreate":1632108948463,"gmtModify":1676530702855,"author":{"id":"3580436163482352","authorId":"3580436163482352","name":"JohnLoh00","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3580436163482352","authorIdStr":"3580436163482352"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/860067721","repostId":"2168505605","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2168505605","pubTimestamp":1632107672,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2168505605?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-09-20 11:14","market":"us","language":"en","title":"3 Stocks to Add to Your Portfolio in a Market Pull-Back","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2168505605","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"These great stocks are just a little too expensive to be perfect investments right now.","content":"<p>Stocks are expensive right now, with the <b>S&amp;P 500</b> price-to-earnings ratio at its highest level since the dot-com bubble.

The researchers noted that the vaccine effectiveness differences between Moderna and Pfizer's shots, which both use a mechanism called messenger RNA, could be due to differences in timings between doses.\nThe second dose of the Pfizer vaccine is typically delivered after three weeks, while Moderna patients wait four weeks.\nThey also noted several limitations to the study, including the fact that a relatively small number of patients had received the J&J vaccine compared with the mRNA vaccines.\nPrevious studies have found that Moderna's vaccine appears to generate more antibodies than Pfizer's, though it's not clear if antibodies are even the most important component in immunity over the long term.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":154,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":885045088,"gmtCreate":1631748377144,"gmtModify":1676530622661,"author":{"id":"3580436163482352","authorId":"3580436163482352","name":"JohnLoh00","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3580436163482352","authorIdStr":"3580436163482352"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/885045088","repostId":"2167559884","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2167559884","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Dow Jones publishes the world’s most trusted business news and financial information in a variety of media.","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Dow Jones","id":"106","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99"},"pubTimestamp":1631721822,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2167559884?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-09-16 00:03","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Procept BioRobotics spikes 40% on its first day of trading","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2167559884","media":"Dow Jones","summary":"Procept BioRobotics spikes 40% on its first day of trading.\n\nProcept BioRobotics Corp. is set to go ","content":"<p>Procept BioRobotics spikes 40% on its first day of trading.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/70f6e6c88567a43f408cd96f913f6476\" tg-width=\"1404\" tg-height=\"888\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p>Procept BioRobotics Corp.&nbsp;is set to go public Wednesday, as the California-based surgical robotics company's upsized initial public offering priced above the expected range at $25.00 per share.

So I find it intriguing that for the third-straight earnings report, GME stock has gapped down after earnings. When this happened in March, the stock recovered its former share price and, in fact, closed as high as $300 before the company’s June earnings.\nHowever, since then the stock has been on a steady downtrend. And that’s why I’m still of the mindset that GameStop has a heavy lift.\nI think InvestorPlace contributor Thomas Niel summarized my feelings best when discussing therisk/reward scenariofor GME stock. Simply put, it’s more likely that over time (those are critical words), the likelihood for the stock to take a large move down appears to be greater than the possibility that the stock will soar higher.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":194,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":882896308,"gmtCreate":1631671667604,"gmtModify":1676530605216,"author":{"id":"3580436163482352","authorId":"3580436163482352","name":"JohnLoh00","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3580436163482352","authorIdStr":"3580436163482352"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/882896308","repostId":"1194314814","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1194314814","pubTimestamp":1631669942,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1194314814?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-09-15 09:39","market":"us","language":"en","title":"SPRT Stock Plunges 30% Ahead of Greenidge Generation’s (GREE) Debut","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1194314814","media":"investorplace","summary":"Today marks the final catalyst that we predicted for shareholders of SPRT as Support.com(NASDAQ:SPRT","content":"<p>Today marks the&nbsp;final catalyst&nbsp;that we predicted for shareholders of SPRT as&nbsp;<b>Support.com</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>SPRT</u></b>) and&nbsp;<b>Greenidge Generation Holdings</b>&nbsp;complete&nbsp;their long-awaited merger.
