Consider Workhorse Stock A Cautious Buy on The Pullback

As the EV sector remains hot, should you buy Workhorse Group (NASDAQ:WKHS) stock? Rallying more than 400% so far this year, investors have started to hit the brakes. Reaching prices as high as $22.90 per share in early July, the electric-powered delivery truck maker's shares have slipped down to around $16 per share.Source: rblfmr / Shutterstock.com It's no surprise shares have fared so well in recent months. With speculators buying up anything remotely EV-related, smaller names like this one have seen gains that make the strong returns of Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) seem mild by comparison.Yet, as those trading EV stocks on FOMO and momentum take profits, can this potential disruptor hold onto its recent gains?

Buffett Bets the Farm on Bank of America

China had emerged as a top U.S. crude buyer, taking $5.42 billion worth in 2018 before trade tensions brought flows to a near halt....
