Stocks to sell

In the aftermath of this month’s banking crisis, plenty of financial stocks appear appealing. However, far from bargains, many of these stocks are to be considered dividend stocks to avoid. Despite recent moves to rescue distress institutions, don’t assume this banking crisis is close to resolution. More firms could be direct/indirectly affected, resulting in further

Hope springs eternal, but it might be misapplied with electric vehicle manufacturer Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID). Sure, there was a quick rally in LCID stock recently, and the automaker appears to be wheeling and dealing in Saudi Arabia. This isn’t the right time to consider an investment in Lucid, however, as the company still has major issues.

Although electric vehicle stocks have become far less hot during this bear market, the pivot towards vehicle electrification keeps moving forward. Even so, that doesn’t mean every EV stock is a buy. In fact, there are plenty of names one should consider EV stocks to sell. Why? The overall trend may be favorable, but in the

While there’s something romantic about taking a shot on an underappreciated enterprise, a countervailing narrative also exists, which brings us to the topic of stocks to sell. To be sure, very few people enjoy discussing this subject (especially if you own the shares mentioned). However, it’s unavoidable. At some point, you’re going to have to

With the market just starting to recover, some overvalued tech stocks are starting to trade at a steep valuation.  Moreover, the latest rate hike is already causing some pain in the market, and we might not yet be at the bottom. In my previous columns, I argued that tech stocks were deeply undervalued due to

Over the past year, traders have looked for SPACs to sell amid a terrible slump in the sector. But the mood may be changing given the level of destruction across the sector. After all, many of these formerly promising companies are now 70%-90% below the stock prices at which they merged. Surely, some of them

Lately, it appears that Bed Bath & Beyond (NASDAQ:BBBY) has been following the playbook of many distressed publicly listed businesses. The company is seeking to enact a reverse split of BBBY stock. Furthermore, Bed Bath & Beyond is still pursuing its equity offering agreement even though the company’s shares are rapidly losing value. These measures are

If you’re on the prowl for penny stock bargains, Exela Technologies (NASDAQ:XELA) is a name you’ve likely come across. While facing a Nasdaq exchange delisting, for now XELA stock is, according to Finviz, one of the lowest-priced stocks listed on a major U.S. exchange. However, make no mistake, being one of the lowest-priced stocks does

Like with other financial stocks, the recent banking crisis has affected the performance of Ally Financial (NYSE:ALLY) stock. However, after plunging on the heels of many bank collapses, ALLY stock has found support. Growing speculation that legendary investor Warren Buffett’s firm, Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK.A, NYSE:BRK.B), already a large Ally Financial shareholder, will make a takeover

Over the past couple of months, meme stocks have shown a sharp price increase. Some have risen in price several times despite the overall fall in the stock market caused by the release of data on rising inflation in the U.S. Retail investors massively bought shares of low-liquid companies, which led to a 2x-3x increase

We’ve already seen valuations drop in 2022, as investors priced in an economic slowdown. However, it’s unclear whether a full-on market crash is being priced into equity markets right now. Indeed, many pockets of the stock market are showing signs of life once again in 2023. Investors appear to be betting on the potential for the

It’s indisputable that electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) is eyeing the Saudi Arabian automotive market as a potential revenue source. Will this be enough to counterbalance Lucid’s problems at home in the U.S., though? Don’t get your hopes up, as major financial issues could weigh heavily on LCID stock in 2023. Lucid Group

C3.ai (NYSE:AI) has pulled back in recent weeks, but it’s fair to say that the market remains bullish on AI stock. Shares in this provider of enterprise artificial intelligence software bolted higher during January. That’s when investors, after Microsoft’s (NASDAQ:MSFT) reported $10 billion investment into ChatGPT developer OpenAI, started experiencing renewed excitement about the AI

When it comes to dividend investing, knowing which dividend stocks to sell can be more important than knowing which dividend stocks to buy. Buying stocks for income/yield can oftentimes be like trying to pick up pennies in front of a steamroller. Given how stocks bought primarily for their dividend can tank upon news of a dividend cut/suspension,

Many institutional and retail investors and traders often embrace fads for relatively short amounts of time. In other words, many entities will buy stocks within a “hot” category for six months to a year. Then they will rapidly sell the same equities as the Street becomes less enamored with the sector. In just the last

Lately, a lack of news has been good news for investors in Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) stock, which plunged during late February and early March. This was primarily because of the electric vehicle maker’s release of disappointing quarterly results and guidance. However, since the middle of this month, LCID has found support, with the stock bouncing

No matter how bad the situation gets with Exela Technologies (NASDAQ:XELA) stock, some enterprising financial traders might hope for a miraculous recovery. As the old saying goes however, hope isn’t a viable investment strategy. Sure, Exela is trying a few tactics, but the company’s financial problems have become unmanageable. Exela Technologies might sound like a high-conviction

The conversation surrounding which dividend stocks to buy and which to avoid centers on a wobbly economy. The failures of banks including Silvergate Capital (NYSE:SI), Silicon Valley Bank (NASDAQ:SIVB), and Signature Bank (NASDAQ:SBNY) sent shockwaves rippling through the financial system. As a result, the potential for a financial crisis a-la 2008/2009 remains high. The FDIC has stepped in, and things appear calm, for

It’s been a bumpy ride for investors of China-based electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Nio (NYSE:NIO) over the past year. Some data points indicate that a rebound in NIO stock might be coming, but don’t jump to any conclusions. If Nio is spending much more money than it’s generating, this will make it difficult for the company

Could First Republic Bank (NYSE:FRC) stock end up in penny stock territory? This question might have seemed absurd just a few months ago. Yet, First Republic Bank’s investors should now consider the urgent warnings of several experts on Wall Street. Before the year is over, the company’s shareholders could face increasingly steep losses. By now,
