Verisk Analytics (NASDAQ:VRSK) Insider Sells $1,436,300.00 in Stock
“Sell Nvidia before earnings”
Eric Fry just went live with one of his most controversial calls yet: “Sell Nvidia.” While Wall Street has been chasing the AI giant, Eric says its biggest customers are now its biggest competitors — and that could spell trouble ahead.
