Everybody and his uncle was buzzing about Canopy Growth (NYSE:CGC) stock last week — and given how it shot up like Evel Kenievel out of a cannon, I can’t blame them for their enthusiasm.

Behind most great companies and their stocks is an all-star management team that keeps calling the right shots. As investors, we tend to forget this. We get caught up in the quarterly earnings reports, the stock price movements, the headline announcement, so on and so forth. We often forget the people running the show. But,

InvestorPlace’s Mark Hake recently stated that Cronos (NASDAQ:CRON), which is down more than 67% from its 52-week high of $25.10, is severely overvalued, arguing that CRON stock is by far the most expensive of its Canadian cannabis peers with an enterprise value 58 times sales.

It’s been a rough past 12 months for shares of payments processor Square (NYSE:SQ), as slowing growth trends coupled with competition and valuation concerns have caused SQ stock to plunge from an all-time high price tag of $100 back in late September 2018, to a $50 price tag in late September 2019.

All stocks correct. It’s also a fact that growth stocks come and go. But sometimes Wall Street’s cautious dismissal of future prospects can lead to big-time profits.

Back in mid-July, I wrote on InvestorPlace that it looked like shares of beaten up pharmacy retailer CVS (NYSE:CVS) were ready to breakout higher.

On Oct. 29, Electronic Arts (NASDAQ:EA) announced that its EA Access subscription service would be available  on Steam, an online gaming community, starting next spring.

Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) stock hit fresh new all-time highs last week. The company has been on a massive winning streak, and there is no sign that it’s about to slow down.
