Motives
You must examine the motives of the person writing the news article. I seldom trade the news. Most of the time the news article comes out after a significant move has occurred. Ask yourself has this person invested in that stock and is now offloading it. This is called "The greater fool theory". The person buying at the top gets stuck with a stock that is going down in value. This was common in many of the so called "Meme" stocks. By the time the news outlets produced the story on Gamestop and AMC the big moves were over. It remains to be seen if these stocks will return and surpass thier former value. A long term investor may see that happen but is the value there for the prices those stocks reached? Dubious at best.
