"The bigger they are, the harder they fall." It's the
worst nightmare of every investor in today's market -- buying
a rocket stock just before it takes a nosedive.
Now I readily admit that sometimes, stocks rise for a
reason. But sometimes, the rise
becomesthe reason. No matter how often we caution
them not to, investors do have a habit of buying "hot"
stocks, and trusting momentum to keep 'em moving upward.
Problem is, if the price goes up too much, even a great
company can turn into a lousy investment. Below I list a few
stocks that may have done just that. Stocks that, according
to the smart folks at finviz.com, have more than doubled
since the beginning of this year, and just might be ripe to
fall back to Earth.
