It's a battle of the auto stocks in this week's edition of Good Buy or Goodbye. Freedom Capital Markets Managing Director Michael Ward tells Yahoo Finance's Josh Lipton that shares of General Motors (GM) are a "good buy" right now. Ward likes the automaker's balance sheet. He also says GM has a lot of cash on hand and an attractive valuation. Ward is saying "goodbye" to Carvana (CVNA). Ward argues that the e-commerce vehicle seller has struggled to consistently generate positive cash from operations. He also says Carvana has to spend more money on marketing than traditional car dealers and he notes the price volatility the company faces in acquiring used cars. Overall, Ward says Carvana is "trading as a hyper-growth company and it's not." For more expert insight and the latest market action, click here to watch this full episode of Yahoo Finance Live.

Energy transfer also operates infrastructure that is critical for meeting AI energy demand. Halliburton (HAL) earns Thummel's "goodbye," claiming its capital expenditure will decline, in turn lowering demand for its services.
