Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Rich Duprey]

  So much promise, so many opportunities, and so little to show for it. E-commerce retailer Zulily (NASDAQ: ZU  ) seems to have squandered most of its potential since going public. After hitting $73 a share soon after its IPO in November 2013, the stock of the mom-focused website has cratered and lost two-thirds of its value.
