As much as I’d like to pitch three bullish ideas, Monday’s market meltdown doesn’t allow it. My watch list is a sea of red, and the usual suspects are tumbling. Reopening plays, small caps, once-loved-now-loathed growth stocks — down, all down. I’ve scanned the top losers on the session and found plenty of fodder for

C3.ai (NYSE:AI) stock has had a miserable 2021. Shares that started the year trading at $131 per share are ending it near $33 per share. For those scoring at home, that’s a 75% drop.

After running hot for a few weeks, excitement has cooled for Progenity (NASDAQ:PROG). Less than a month ago, it was trading for as much as $6.20 per share.

As of Dec. 1, Block (NYSE:SQ) is the new name of the company formerly known as Square. This portends its future focus on blockchain technology including Bitcoin (CCC:BTC-USD) and the company’s focus on digital payment assets and solutions.

The volatility in Lucid Motors (NASDAQ:LCID) has been increasing. That’s not too surprising given the run we’ve seen in LCID stock lately.

The stock market got crushed last week.

Roku (NASDAQ:ROKU) seems to be in an enviable position. It operates the most popular streaming service in the United States.

Given its big drop in recent months, I can see why many investors are passing up on Sundial Growers (NASDAQ:SNDL) stock.

It’s safe to say that Germany-based Sono Group (NASDAQ:SEV) isn’t your typical electric vehicle manufacturer, and SEV stock isn’t a run-of-the-mill investment.
