Introduction QuinStreet (NASDAQ: QNST) is in a precarious situation for both the company and the stock. As it currently makes a growing loss and declining revenues, it is bizarre to find that the company is trading higher than it was when it had better fundamentals and some flattened growth year-over-year. Company Profile QuinStreet is a marketing company that targets the financial space and home services.

I asked my girlfriend to move in with me and am having a moral personal dilemma when it comes to rent. She has said she would not move in with me if she wasn’t paying, so nothing isn’t an option. I bought the house in November 2019, and up until a few months ago I have always had two roommates paying me rent. One just moved out to live with family as a result of health complications. The other roommate moved in a few months ago. Despite not having a lease, I would feel bad asking my remaining roommate to leave…
