Stocks to sell

For cannabis stock investors, April ended in absolute euphoria. The sector has skyrocketed this week. The rally came on reports that the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) is set to reclassify marijuana’s controlled substance status. Marijuana is currently in Schedule 1, which is the strictest level of regulatory enforcement. This planned reclassification would move marijuana

Even though semiconductors and microchips are such an integral part of the global economy, there are still some chip stocks to avoid. It’s not because of a lack of demand or even customers, considering that nearly every country in the world needs microchips for one reason or another. Rather, the warning signs can be more insidious for retail investors who

Meme stocks are names that have gained a large following because of activity on social media. Of course, meme stocks’ heyday was back in 2021, and most of the names that went on a tear thanks to their popularity on social media have subsequently crashed. Among these stocks are GameStop (NYSE:GME), AMC (NYSE:AMC) and Ocugen

There might be better times to invest in EV stocks, and I think now is the time to look for EV stocks to avoid instead. The sector is grappling with a myriad of challenges, with the biggest fishes losing a ton of value of late. With the sector’s bellwethers struggling, the situation for smaller players

Is the market likely to see a reset, similar to the ones after the dot-com bubble in 2000 and the 2008 financial crisis? As with everything in economics, opinions are divided. In this uncertain environment, identifying energy stocks to avoid becomes a critical strategy for investors looking to safeguard their portfolios. What is known is

There are some REITs to avoid in this continued “higher for longer” interest rate environment. These investment vehicles are particularly sensitive to rising interest rates due to their reliance on debt financing. In this economic climate, REITs with high leverage ratios, short-term debt maturities and limited cash flows may struggle to maintain profitability and dividend

There’s been a significant divergence in the way in which large-cap stocks have performed versus their small-to-mid cap counterparts. More poignantly, U.S. equities performance is increasingly tied to how larger, well-known companies are doing. The way in which indices like the Nasdaq and S&P500 have risen against the Russell 2000 showcases this. The S&P500 currently

Rivian (NASDAQ:RIVN) stock is worth watching ahead of earnings. Rivian’s last earnings report showed promising revenue growth but was followed by a sharp stock decline. Multiple layoffs and negative sentiment from Wall Street have contributed to investor concern ahead of the May 7 report. The company had two layoffs this year and delayed a factory

The economy continues to give investors mixed signals. Inflation remains at higher-than-average levels — compared to the Federal Reserve’s preferred 2% target. But that hasn’t satiated the demand for airline travel. That doesn’t mean, however, that every airline is a good investment. Poor analyst sentiment suggests there are several airline stocks to avoid.  The last

As an investor, tech stocks have been an appealing choice over the last year as excitement about products such as generative AI pushed the sector higher. But not all are winners. Tech stocks that are not performing well or facing challenges, knowing when to sell can be even more critical. Rather than holding on and

Lucid (NASDAQ:LCID) stock isn’t having a good year so far. Those who bet on the rise of a viable Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) competitor have had their hopes dashed once again. The luxury electric vehicle stock has seen its share price plummet 40.6% as of the end of Tuesday’s trading session. Continued macroeconomic uncertainty and anemic demand

The National recently reported a declining number of listed companies on the U.S., U.K. and European stock markets. Despite record high share prices, the supply of stocks is dwindling due to bankruptcies, private ownership and fewer new listings. The U.S has about 5,000 fewer listed companies than expected for an economy of its size. At

Here are three prominent Dow stocks facing challenges that every investor should be aware of. Even with any business’s challenges, savvy investors can identify possible openings for strategic positioning. The first company, a mainstay in the aerospace sector, is grappling with cash flow issues and an uncertain future. However, amidst these challenges, there are opportunities

Not everyone is feeling good about the stock market. Inflation has been picking up, and interest rates have remained elevated. Earnings reports for tech companies have been good for the most part, but that doesn’t mean the market will remain attractive over the next few years. Time in the market beats timing the market. However, some corporations

Tech stock investors have seen tremendous volatility over the past few years. While many stocks have soared, not al have. Thus, it is always a good idea to keep in mind which companies are worth adding to, and which are tech stocks to sell. If you look at broader indexes, that may not seem true. However, if you exclude the

As is always the case, earnings season is a mixed bag. Companies that surprise on the upside and issue bullish guidance are seeing their share price rise 10% or more in a day. Companies that miss forecasts and offer a downbeat outlook are seeing their stock slide 10% lower or more in a single trading

The U.S. economy is slowing, which is bad news for consumer stocks. In recent days, economic data showed that gross domestic product (GDP) in America grew at an annualized rate of 1.6% in the year’s first quarter, considerably slower than the preceding quarter’s 3.4% growth. At the same time, the personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price

Some metaverse stocks are best avoided during prospects of a stock market correction. As InvestorPlace previously reported, this is amid concerns over rising inflation and decelerating GDP growth. The economy is projected to add 250,000 jobs, down from March’s 303,000. This forecast is expected to stabilize the unemployment rate at 3.8%. I believe it makes

Trump Media & Technology Group (NASDAQ:DJT) is best-known as the parent company of Truth Social. Trump Media stock surged on initial trading, but has seen very volatile swings. In fact, since hitting a high of nearly $80 per share after its offering, this stock had given up more than half of those gains, before recently

If you’ve been paying attention to the market, a bearish list on oil and gas stocks might seem odd. Looking at two primary indicators of crude prices — West Texas Intermediate (WTI) and Brent crude oil — prices for the commodity have risen steadily in 2024. For some perspective, the WTI has risen 17% on
