- Amazon (Symbol: AMZN), Microsoft (Symbol: MSFT), Apple (Symbol: AAPL) Several major technology shares clawed back some of this week’s sharp losses amid a big market rotation favoring beaten-down cyclicals.

- Lemonade (Symbol: LMND) The insurance stock dropped 12% despite Lemonade beating Wall Street expectations for the third quarter.

- Aurora Cannabis (Symbol: ACB), Tilray (Symbol: TLRY) Shares of marijuana companies fell sharply, giving back some of the massive gains the stocks have seen since Election Day.
