If Warren Buffett was your financial advisor, he might steer you toward reliable blue-chip investments, not wildly speculative stocks to buy now.

QuantumScape (NYSE:QS) has fallen behind at least two of its key competitors in the race to launch electric-vehicle batteries that are superior to today’s widely used lithium-ion batteries.
