All things considered, Americans are a forgiving bunch. Either that, or they’re too apathetic to hold a grudge for long. Whether it’s a food-poisoning crisis at a popular eatery or a severe data breach, most folks seem willing to accept an extended olive branch. Unfortunately, Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC) isn’t benefitting from American graciousness. In fact,

Chesapeake Energy (NYSE:CHK) looked to be on the mend. From late November, the shares went from $0.57 to $0.95. But unfortunately, the gains proved to be temporary.

U.S. equities are rebounding after an overnight bloodbath in the Chinese markets as fears of the spreading coronavirus remain largely relegated to China.

Marijuana has been a hot topic among investors this year as they speculate on whether the industry will see another big push after a dismal 2019. While I’d agree that marijuana is a sector worth considering for 2020, there are a lot of pitfalls within that space, and Aurora Cannabis (NYSE:ACB) is one of them.

For the most part, it’s been tough for recent unicorn IPOs. Just look at the offerings from companies like Uber (NYSE:UBER), Lyft (NASDAQ:LYFT) and SmileDirectClub (NASDAQ:SDC).

It’s safe to say Nio (NYSE:NIO) has defied all bearish expectations. When I last weighed in on the stock, I noted, “I’m not a fan of the stock with the EV market pulling back. You can find better opportunities elsewhere at the moment. This slow-motion train wreck will continue for the foreseeable future.” Source: Carrie Fereday

Alibaba (NYSE:BABA) has been in the bull mode since early October with BABA stock going from $161 to a high of $230.

I’m not going to blame one specific company or its stock for what ails the American stock market today.
