With the Nasdaq nearly in a bull market (believe it or not), many companies reporting solid earnings, and the stock market coming off a scorching hot January, I’m very optimistic about stocks. But just as “there’s always a bull market somewhere,” as CNBC’s Jim Cramer loves to say, there are always overvalued stocks to sell. Now is no exception.
Investing in growth stocks has often been heralded as the fastest route to financial success. However, amid the present volatility in the market, those thinking of embracing this potentially rewarding approach should think twice.

We’re out of January and finally settling into the 2023 year. After ending 2022 in the red, all the major indices are showing gains through the first month of the year. But not is all on Wall Street – there are still plenty of laggards out there that include F-rated stocks to sell. My Portfolio
With investors warming back up to a “risk on” mindset in recent weeks, it’s no surprise Vinco Ventures (NASDAQ:BBIG) shares have experienced a partial rebound. In the past month, BBIG stock has jumped by around 46%. But while this small, speculative growth stock, which at one point in 2021 became a popular play among retail
Semiconductor stocks were among the most battered names in 2022. A supply glut coupled with slowing sales of personal computers, smartphones and other devices conspired to drag the stocks of nearly all semiconductor and microchip companies lower.

At the end of 2022, shares in Arrival (NASDAQ:ARVL) were down more than 99% from their debut price. So far in 2023, however, a growing number of investors have jumped back into ARVL stock. As a result, shares in this U.K.-based electric vehicle manufacturer have moved substantially higher. Although it has pulled back in the
The stock market rally this year is pushing stock prices higher again, which creates a greater urgency to consider which tech stocks to sell.

And pockets of the tech sector, such as artificial intelligence, cloud computing and cybersecurity, continue to grow by leaps and bounds. If ChatGPT is teaching us anything, it is that technology
Are the wheels falling off of used-car retailer Carvana (NYSE:CVNA)? It’s a legitimate question as CVNA stock investors have suffered staggering losses over the past year. As an important date approaches, Carvana will have to disclose its financial facts. Overeager investors should seriously consider getting out of the trade before Carvana’s problems go from bad to
Despite its small size, Mullen Automotive (NASDAQ:MULN) has arguably become as widely followed as the larger, more high-profile EV stocks. However, this popularity notwithstanding, MULN stock differs greatly from these other names, and not just in terms of market capitalization. Although I lean bearish on the most popular EV stocks, like Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID), Rivian
The electric vehicle industry is back on the upswing. In fact, after a dismal 2022, EV stocks saw far stronger returns in Jan. Industry leader Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA), for example, has seen its stock price run up more than 50% over the past month. Tesla’s headline-grabbing rebound breathed new life into many of the smaller EV stocks as
Meme stocks are back in the spotlight to begin 2023 (along with crypto) as investors seem to be shaking off the doldrums of the past year and wading back into equities. Several of the most popular meme stocks that took the market by storm in 2021 are up big this month, helping to fuel speculation
Investors often turn towards blue-chip stocks when the market is in turmoil. Yet, there is no guarantee that those stocks will continue to perform when the market is down.

As the adage goes, “where there’s risk, there’s reward.” Unfortunately, this is not universal when it comes to penny stocks. While there are plenty of stocks in “penny territory” (under $5 per share) that are strong opportunities, there are also scores of low-priced names best characterized as penny stocks to sell. When it comes to
When it comes to dividend stocks, the consensus is that the higher the yield, the better. High dividend yields can often be an indication that something is wrong. Dividend stocks are not always as safe and secure as some assume. Despite what conventional wisdom may lead you to believe, high dividends should not necessarily be
They’re back! As we conclude the first month of 2023, it appears that meme stocks are once again rallying. Some of the most popular names in the meme-stock craze that dominated markets and news headlines two years ago are soaring to begin the New Year, much to the dismay of traders and short sellers on
