Stocks to sell

While the U.S. economy has proved surprisingly resilient in 2023, the majority of economists are still calling for a recession in the next 12 months. Meanwhile, the Conference Board’s consumer confidence index hit a six-month low last month. Although the macroeconomic picture can best be described as murky, consumer discretionary stocks have been the third-best performing

For investors, it’s always difficult to know exactly when to say “enough is enough,” as struggling stocks lose value. It’s always tempting to hold on to positions, in the hope that a miraculous turnaround will materialize. More often than not, that strategy leads to further losses. Thus, I’d suggest that these three struggling stocks below

We’re starting to see signs of a recession on the horizon, and while that doesn’t mean you should exit the market altogether, there are some stocks to sell now. Tough economic conditions are likely to sting the bulk of the market. Business costs will be rising just as demand starts to tail off. Meanwhile servicing

With over 500 electric vehicles models on the market, competition has intensified, and several EV companies will face financial difficulties. This analysis focuses on the fundamental outlook and advises against holding these high-risk EV stocks in a long-term portfolio. While there may be speculative opportunities for short-term rallies, the overall trend for these stocks is

Investors have long favored growth and income stocks which deliver reliable dividends and modest capital appreciation over time. But these high P/E blue chips carry risk if the price isn’t right. In fact, it’s a common value investing pitfall to overpay for a seemingly safe and stable company. At the wrong entry point, however, defensive

The key to making profits in the markets has been to buy large-cap growth stocks, and sell value stocks. At least, that’s what it seems like, when you take into account that the surge of the S&P 500 index year-to-date is largely attributable to big gains among big tech stocks. Although not for certain, this trend

We’re back in a bull market, but it’s not close to being the same type of bull market that we saw from mid-2020 to early 2021. Obviously, unlike in that period, the vast majority of stocks aren’t rallying now, and meme stocks aren’t routinely soaring by a few hundred percent over a month or two.

Let’s not mince words here. Even if you like to gamble, Bed Bath & Beyond (OTCMKTS:BBBYQ) stock simply doesn’t offer a favorable reward-to-risk scenario. Even if they’re only considering a small, speculative share position, financial traders should still avoid Bed Bath & Beyond. Bed Bath & Beyond was a darling among meme stock traders in

After a strong start, cryptocurrencies have experienced sideways trading in the first half of 2023. However, the recent downturn in May has impacted many cryptocurrencies. Safe and practical crypto projects have been less affected, while investors have been selling off risky and outdated names to rebalance their portfolios. While the crypto market shows long-term promise

There’s a slew of fresh data pertaining to China-based electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Nio (NYSE:NIO). Overall, it doesn’t support a long position in NIO stock. Prospective investors should be cautious now, and Nio’s current shareholders might consider bailing before it’s too late. Not long ago, I warned that Nio’s shareholders should sell quickly. I’m standing by

High-performance automotive lidar (light detection and radar) sensor company MicroVision (NASDAQ:MVIS) has received a lot of attention from meme-stock traders lately. Yet, that’s not a sufficient reason to invest in MicroVision now. MVIS stock appears to be running out of steam, and the next big move is probably to the downside. The last thing I

During May, and for part of June, there was little in the way of direct news regarding electric battery (or EV) technology company QuantumScape (NYSE:QS). However, after weeks of static, there once again has been some widely-publicized chatter about QS stock. Unfortunately, the news itself wasn’t exactly the kind of thing that bolsters confidence from the

The overall energy market has seen a decline since the end of 2022. Stocks within the energy and oil and gas sectors saw a large amount of growth in 2022 while the broader was falling. This was due to multiple factors, including the war in Ukraine, supply chain disruptions, higher demands for goods, and increased

Not all stocks are worthy of investor capital. Today, we’ll be looking at three poor-performing stocks to avoid. As the market marches higher this year, these stocks are sliding. Whether it is because they have lost their competitive edge, have poor financials, or are producing outdated products, the best days of the companies below appear

Why do investors buy Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:RIVN)? The answer is simple. Those buying RIVN stock believe that the vehicle electrification mega-trend will cause turbo-charged growth for this electric truck and van maker driving a big rebound for shares. However, it’s far from a given that such a scenario plays out. It’s important not to assume

As I recently discussed, China-based electric vehicle maker Nio (NYSE:NIO) this week announced plans to slash vehicle prices. This has helped to provide a boost for NIO stock. Since the announcement, shares have made a nearly 20% move higher. As of this writing, Nio is back above $9 per share for the first time in

Previous bull runs in the crypto market made many folks rich, fast. And as with any get-rich-quick scheme, the bottom tends to fall out at some point. Last year, many speculators and those using leverage in the crypto markets got wiped out trading in ultra-risky cryptos. This year appears to be shaping up to be

It’s undeniable that Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) is a darling of the market now. NVDA stock seems unstoppable as the company is a major supplier of hardware for generative artificial intelligence applications. However, with so much positive news and future success already priced into the shares, cautious investors shouldn’t get too excited about Nvidia now. Last week, I

You may think a call to “sell meme stocks now” is an overreaction. After all, a fair number of meme names have performed well lately, suggesting a “renaissance” of sorts for this investing trend. In fact, some long-standing meme plays have bolted higher, thanks to rising optimism that macro concerns like high inflation and high-interest

In the dynamic world of investing, it’s imperative to consider penny stocks to avoid . Investors frequently fall into the trap of equating low prices with low valuation or high upside potential. However, this equation might not hold water in the current market climate, with an alarming number of overvalued penny stocks with dubious upside potential.
