Retail traders who gobbled up shares of Hycroft Mining (NASDAQ:HYCM) after AMC invested in the struggling company may be regretting their purchase. The Nevada-based mining company had fallen on hard times before AMC CEO Adam Aron bailed the firm out with a $27.9 million investment earlier this month. While it was a nice gesture from AMC, the investment might have just prolonged the inevitable for Hycroft. AMC could have likely put that money to better use in its own operations, especially after acquiring seven more theater locations earlier this week. The association with AMC does not automatically make Hycroft mining a great investment.
