Avoid These 4 Stocks Already Up Over 100% YTD
The stock market is flying high in a continuation of its 2020 momentum. Over the last few weeks, retail investors have been driving up the share prices of some heavily shorted companies to trigger short squeezes. This, coupled with some company-level developments, is pushing the trading levels of some stocks to lofty valuations.

While the yellow metal started this year with some weakness, given an improving economic outlook and uptick in long-term Treasury yields, there is increasing optimism that gold could turn around on increased deficit-spending, which could be a harbinger of inflationary pressures. Hence, we think gold mining companies AngloGold Ashanti (AU), Gold Fields (GFI), B2Gold (BTG) and Yamana Gold (AUY) could witness significant gains.
