The practice of short selling is highly controversial and under renewed threat from regulators and politicians who are considering a ban on the practice. Short selling is essentially when traders and investors bet that a stock’s price is going to decline over a certain period of time. These are generally companies that are widely-considered to
Stocks to sell
The U.S. economy experienced an unprecedented disruption over the past few years. Many sectors were caught up in the sudden stoppage of the economy in 2020, followed by an incredible boom thereafter. Housing stocks were among those that took part in this cycle, as people sought to upgrade their living conditions at record speed during
Many national governments have gotten on board with net zero emissions targets in the decades to come. Indeed, the clean energy transition is well underway, putting energy stocks at serious risk over time. Net zero goals are aimed at reducing energy-related carbon dioxide emissions to zero, in order to limit global temperature increases to 1.5 degrees Celsius.
Snap (NYSE:SNAP) has gone from an up-and-coming name in the social media space, to arguably an “also ran” within the sector. This has resulted in a dramatic price decline for SNAP stock over the past two years. Late last month, a poorly received quarterly earnings report (more below) sent shares down to multi-year lows. However,
Should dip-buyers consider investing in electric vehicle (EV) battery technology company QuantumScape (NYSE:QS) now? I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the risk-to-reward profile isn’t ideal for QS stock in 2023. QuantumScape’s financials certainly aren’t favorable. In addition, it’s taking a very long time for QuantumScape to develop its multi-layered battery cell
I’d be the first to agree that Wall Street analysts are often wrong. Quite frequently, in fact, in the case of analyst downgrades, they focus excessively on minutiae, such as tiny “misses” (i.e., quarterly results that come in slightly below analysts’ average estimates) or a small decline in profit margins. And they often overlook or
Over the past eighteen months, shares in Cash App and Square parent Block (NYSE:SQ) have fallen in price by around 75%. With this, many investors may believe that the worst is already priced-in with SQ stock. But while Block’s valuation is a lot more reasonable today than it was in late 2021, don’t assume that
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. As a result, investing in QS stock is extremely risky at this point, QS can easily declare bankruptcy in the not-too- distant future, and I recommend that
Energy stocks have a lot going for them. The world needs a ton of electricity and transportation fuels every day. Energy is inflation-protected, as prices tend to rise during unsettled periods such as we’ve experienced recently. And energy stocks sell at low P/E ratios while often offering high dividend yields. But investors shouldn’t lose sight of
Electric vehicle battery technology company QuantumScape (NYSE:QS) might seem like a promising startup in a potentially hyper-growth niche industry. However, financial traders should maintain low expectations for QS stock in 2023. It’s a harsh reality to face, but QuantumScape’s financials aren’t ideal. Moreover, the company’s progress toward product commercialization is moving at a snail’s pace. QuantumScape
We’ve all heard the adage, “Sell in May and Go Away,” but should investors in contemporary times target stocks to sell in the fifth month of the year? According to Corporate Finance Institute, under the original context, the British upper class would sell their securities in May so that they can relax and enjoy the
As any stock trading for under $5 per share is classified as a “penny stock,” admittedly sometimes this term can be a misnomer. However, this term accurately describes Ideanomics (NASDAQ:IDEX), as IDEX stock trades for literal pennies per share. At first glance, this early-stage electric vehicle company may seem a low-downside/high-upside opportunity. Especially as shares
If we follow the common wisdom, the Federal Reserve raised interest rates in what could be its last major action against inflation, which would then make stocks to sell in a hawkish environment seem completely irrelevant. For what it’s worth, I hope that this list of publicly traded enterprises to watch out for ages like
Electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:RIVN) has to compete in a crowded market for clean energy vehicles. Yet, Rivian doesn’t seem willing to offer reduced-priced EVs in the near future. So, even if some RIVN stock traders are pleased with Rivian Automotive’s ambitious production outlook, it’s wise to treat the company and the stock
In hindsight, it’s clear investors during the 2020/2021 runaway bull market got carried away with Roku (NASDAQ:ROKU). As you may recall, ROKU stock traded for as much as $479.50 per share during this time. Today, of course, the stock trades at a mere fraction of this high-water mark, yet even in the mid-$50s per share,
Investors should be eyeing EV stocks to sell in anticipation of an approaching downturn. Investors should trim their positions in high-risk industries as uncertainty looms. Market experts have sounded the alarm, predicting a U.S. recession in the year’s second half. Given the significant economic danger on the horizon, many would happily accept a mild recession
There’s no question that Warren Buffett is the greatest investor of all time. From a small family office in Omaha, Nebraska, he has built a portfolio that is today worth more than $300 billion. And while his portfolio is structured around stalwart blue-chip stocks such as Coca-Cola (NYSE:KO), American Express (NYSE:AXP), Bank of America (NYSE:BAC), and Apple (NASDAQ:APPL), the so-called “Oracle of Omaha” is not immune
Anyone who has held Plug Power (NASDAQ:PLUG) stock since early 2021 has, unfortunately, suffered staggering losses. If you’re underwater on your investment, you might search for positive catalysts in Plug Power’s recently issued quarterly report. Yet, the overall fiscal picture still looks grim for Plug Power. Maybe you’re bullish on the hydrogen economy, and that’s
When legendary investor Warren Buffett speaks, people listen, which might not bode well for those exposed to the below stocks to sell. Primarily, Buffett believes that the “extraordinary period” of excessive spending following the Covid-19-inspired stimulus package is over. Now, businesses must face certain harsh realities. In particular, companies directly exposed to the consumer market
Is the banking crisis that has gripped the U.S. over? Investors don’t seem convinced. In recent weeks, bank stocks have trended lower across the board, with regional bank stocks plunging on continued fears. Worries of large unrealized losses and potential runs on deposits have investors large and small looking at which stocks to sell. The
