Given these points, I recommend that investors sell

If you’re a long-term investor – as in, you like to keep stocks for five years or longer – then you’ll probably do just fine holding Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) stock.

With GameStop (NYSE:GME) ensconced in a business that looks doomed to contract for the foreseeable future and the company embracing a losing strategy, GME stock looks poised to continue slumping in 2024.

The Nasdaq index continues to be the big winner this year, having risen 27% since Januar7.
