These should be the best of times for ChargePoint Holdings (NASDAQ:CHPT) stock. They’re the worst of times. Shares are down 81% this year because, while revenue is increasing, the company isn’t making any money.

Solar stocks have been in sharp focus since 2021.

I believe that inflation for a common man is higher than what the headline inflation data suggests.
