The share price for this tech stock, which was just added to the S&P 500 , has more than doubled this year and was among the market's top performers last quarter. Given that strong performance, it is no surprise that many investors wonder if Palantir stock is a buy, sell, or hold.

I find myself reminding other investors of this constantly: Founders are going to do what founders do… When they first sign a check to a new portfolio company, many angel investors will immediately begin to push an agenda onto the founding team about how the company should be run.
