Stocks to sell

Sometimes, even blue-chip stocks can generate substantial losses. Disney (NYSE:DIS), for example, plummeted as consumers ditched cable television. Top retail stocks took a hit as they lost market share to online competitors. Others, like Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) and Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) pulled back because valuations became far too rich. Whatever the case may be, it’s important to stay

It’s been hard to go wrong with artificial intelligence stocks this year. A surprise 2023 stock market rally and Nvidia’s (NASDAQ:NVDA) jaw-dropping earnings results created a boom for many stocks. And just like that, artificial intelligence (AI) suddenly became a buzzword. Investors scooped up shares of small, medium, and large-cap companies that stood poised to benefit

Even low-confidence stocks can spike from time to time. Prospective investors might be tempted to take a chance on electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Mullen Automotive (NASDAQ:MULN) after a sudden surge in MULN stock.

Change seems to be the only constant in the ever-evolving landscape of the automotive industry. The sector is undergoing unparalleled shifts.

Palantir (NYSE:PLTR) is a standout in this year’s AI-driven rally, gaining nearly 150% on a year-to-date basis thanks to strong earnings and elevated expectations. The launch of ChatGPT in November 2022 boosted AI stocks, leading many companies to discuss their AI efforts on earnings calls. Palantir stock also saw a surge in its stock price after

Is the era of meme-stock rallies finally over? Probably not, but we may be witnessing a last gasp as AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) stock tumbles to alarming lows. As long as AMC Entertainment is willing to dilute its current shares through common stock offerings and conversions, even the faithful “Apes” should consider cutting their losses and moving

On the surface, Verizon Communications (NYSE:VZ) may seem like an appealing buy for value investors. VZ stock trades at a very low price-to-earnings ratio, with a forward earnings multiple of only 7.2. Not only that, shares in this telecom giant also sport a dividend yield that’s undeniably high, even in today’s high interest rate environment.

Consumer discretionary stocks largely rely on the whim of the consumer. After all, the name of the segment says it all.

LCID stock has been a poor performer and could easily continue to lose value this year. I’m not the only commentator who’s concerned about Lucid Group’s future prospects. As we’ll see, at least one expert

The stock market has been on a roller coaster ride in 2023, with the S&P 500 experiencing several sharp swings in both directions. As of early this week, the benchmark index was up 16.9% year-to-date (YTD) but down 2.6% from its annual high in July. The main drivers of the market volatility have been inflation,

If you’re an income investor, then you’re probably aware of the benefits of investing in real estate investment trusts, or REITs. But not all REITs are good buys. There are unfortunately several F-rated REITs to sell from which you need to steer clear. REITs are popular with income investors because they have a structure that’s

Metaverse stocks emerged with a bang a couple of years ago. In fact, Mark Zuckerberg even changed the name of his social media company to Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META), cementing the idea that the metaverse would be the destination of the future.

As many remember, both in their minds and pockets, Brent crude prices reached a decade-high last year, impacting oil prices globally. In 2023, global crude prices thankfully moderated in the first half. But with both Saudi Arabia and Russia extending their oil production cuts until the end of the year and U.S. oil reserve figures

While no participating entity in the capital markets is infallible, retail investors may nevertheless find comfort in targeting opportunities – or exiting from them as is the case here – based on unusual options activity. For this edition, we’ll be exploring stocks to sell based on the rumblings printed by the so-called smart money. To

Sometimes, even the most promising growth stories can have unfortunate endings. China-based electric vehicle manufacturer Nio (NYSE:NIO) has come a long way during the past several years. Yet, Nio’s recent financial and operational data don’t support a long position in NIO stock right now. Plus, Nio is embarking on a business venture that could turn out

Some penny stocks go on to deliver huge returns for their owners. Most, however, do not. After all, companies usually end up in penny stock territory because something dramatic has gone wrong with their business model. At times, these issues can be resolved.

The market is giving investors mixed signals. But this is a time when what’s happening on Main Street differs from what’s happening on Wall Street. There are crystal clear signs that the consumer is losing steam. This makes it time to look at consumer stocks to sell.  Companies are reporting that consumers are pulling back

Investing in companies you know and understand is the best advice I learned when I started to invest. Familiarity with due diligence made the stock-picking process faster and more manageable.
