In the past year, Exela Technologies (NASDAQ:XELA) stock traded for as high as $5.45 a pop. That seems like a distant memory, as shares are changing hands for under half a dollar, at the time of writing. Volatile stocks are crashing as investors lose interest in growth stocks.
Every company comes with its own sets of merits. Suppose you are an aggressive investor that can stomach a bit of risk. In that case, companies like Exela Technologies are worth a look, especially since they have the opportunity to revolutionize the world. Hence, a small position is not without question.
