Stocks to sell

Buyers of 10-year Treasury notes are betting the U.S. Federal Reserve is not finished raising interest rates. That’s because the yield on the notes has kept rising even though Fed Chairman Jerome Powell has repeatedly and strongly suggested that the central bank is done raising rates. And usually, the yield on the 10-year notes stops

Plug Power stock (NASDAQ:PLUG) is in a difficult spot. The company obviously has a viable business and product. It has a list of top-name partners either using its products and services or helping it build out a vertical supply chain. On the other hand, Plug Power stock can’t make money. It is selling its fuel

An underappreciated part of investing is knowing when to cut your losses. No one bats a thousand in this field; even the best investors make some bad picks and come up with ideas that don’t pan out from time to time. It’s one thing to get a pick wrong. It’s quite another thing to stay

Reddit (NYSE:RDDT) went public less than a month ago, but even in this short span of time, Reddit stock has become one of the most talked-about stocks out there. Based on traditional valuation metrics, RDDT is richly priced. Upon closer inspection, shares may not be too expensive, The company has multiple catalysts that may drive

Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) has a big backer, maybe too big. Investors must consider worst-case scenarios in start-ups heavily reliant on one stakeholder like Lucid Group. Our due diligence resulted in an “F” grade for Lucid stock, making it not recommended.        It’s not difficult to find red flags for Lucid Group. The automaker only

In January, I published MarketMasterAI’s top 500 stocks to buy for the first half of 2024. The AI-powered system ranked the largest American firms by market capitalization and chose what it believed to be the best investments for the next six months. The first three months have been admittedly mixed. A-grade companies have performed splendidly,

It’s no secret that tech stocks are on fire. The major American stock indexes have reached new highs in 2024, with growth and technology companies leading the way. There are good reasons for much of these gains, such as the booms that we’re seeing in artificial intelligence and semiconductors right now. However, not all tech

If you’re investing under the assumption that Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) is infallible and invincible, think again. As the company shows cracks in the armor, AAPL stock gets a “D” grade and we’re not giving it a confident recommendation today. We’ve already pointed out some problems with the seemingly almighty Apple. For example, iPhone shipments fell by approximately 33% year over year

Lucid stock (NASDAQ:LCID) burst into the scene with its sleek, high performance luxury electric vehicles (EVs). The company’s initial promise and bold claims after its IPO in 2021 garnered significant investor attention.  However, 2024 could be the year that the music stops for Lucid stock. Plagued by questionable leadership decisions, dwindling cash reserves, and an

The path to recovery for global movie-theater chain AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic hasn’t been easy. We could hope for AMC stock to return to its meme-stock-craze heights, but the facts and circumstances surrounding AMC Entertainment shouldn’t inspire investors’ confidence in 2024. AMC Entertainment CEO Adam Aron is an enthusiastic cheerleader for his

Cocoa prices are still pushing aggressively higher, and may still have room to run. Recently passing $10,000, cocoa is up about 120% this year. All thanks to harsh weather conditions, black pod disease, swollen shoot virus, underinvestment and supply shortages. These factors have led investors to look at some of the top cocoa stocks to

Nio (NYSE:NIO), which at one time traded for as much as $62.84 per share, now trades for under $5 per share, putting NIO stock firmly in penny stock territory. However, investors have rightfully bailed this China-based EV manufacturer. I’m referring to more than just fair weather fans of the stock. As InvestorPlace’s Eddie Pan reported

It is not a bad idea to hunt for biotech stocks to sell. Such stocks have earned a bad reputation among investors, and for good reason. Most biotech companies fail, as their success often hinges on receiving regulatory approval for their products. It is an extremely high-risk sector to invest in. For every promising biotech

The stock market rally continues, with last week’s jobs report sparking a rebound. And just a day after a steep slide, investors may wish to become just a bit more selective. Undoubtedly, AI is still the name of the game for many gain-hungry investors. The boom is unlikely over. Now, good economic data combines with

“Let your winners run.” That’s the advice I gave two months ago in arguing for investors to not take profits on winning investments even if they seem like overvalued stocks. Doing so undercuts your portfolio’s returns. I stand by that advice. But as they also say, never say never. By and large I am a

Semiconductors are being called the “oil of the 21st century.” Much like energy reserves, the U.S. government is securing reliable sources of semiconductors to fuel economic and technological growth. By 2030, the U.S. could produce 20% of the world’s most advanced semiconductors, according to American Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo. The U.S. currently produces between 10%

U.S. equities have continued to trend downward as investors and market analysts reassess the prospects of a market crash. As of last Friday, the S&P 500 has increased by 9.11% on a year-to-date (YTD) basis, while the Nasdaq has risen 6.91%. These figures are well below where the indices had risen after Q1 wrapped: both

The old saying “what goes down must come back up again” has numerous counterpoints if applied to the stock market. Many believe that mean-reversion is inevitable. However, that is simply not the case, as asymmetrical downside is a frequent occurrence in the financial markets. Considering the above, we as investors must be diligent in our

Nio (NYSE:NIO) stock reflects the falling prospects for high-end electric vehicles (EVs). During the last decade, the Chinese company was pitched as a direct competitor to Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA). Its cars were sold as status symbols in “Nio Houses” to China’s millennial go-getters.  Nio was also an innovator in swapping out batteries to maintain range.  But

AI stocks, biotech stocks, and renewable energy stocks dominate the list of most shorted stocks, but there also many consumer discretionary stocks short sellers are betting against. There is an excellent reason for this. Even as the U.S. economy remains resilient, despite challenges such as high inflation and high interest rates, a continued “soft landing”
