Stocks to sell

Special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs) have had a dreadful past six months. After a big run in the early part of 2021, the market became flooded with SPACs. As economics predict, when the supply of something greatly exceeds demand, the price plunges. Too many SPAC sponsors were looking for a quick paycheck and launched shoddy

With most investors focused on buying the stocks of profitable companies, the short-term outlook of FuboTV (NYSE:FUBO) stock is negative.

On Feb. 18, 2021, QuantumScape (NYSE:QS) hit an all-time and 52-week high of $71.97.

CF Acquisition Corp. VI (NASDAQ:CFVI) is another blank check or special-purpose acquisition company (SPAC) linked to Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG). This connection to the former president’s nascent media conglomerate is not enough to make CFVI stock appealing.

As a sports fan, I sometimes watch with amazement as teams that are having a horrible game within a miserable season celebrate heartily after they made a few good plays. I wonder, “What are you so happy about? Overall, you’re doing horribly.” I have similar feelings towards those who are upbeat on AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC)

With sharp wit and a finger on the cultural pulse, the series has

When it comes to investing, I think we can all agree that the name of the game is to make money. Why else are we here? A good step toward that goal is to avoid overvalued stocks. In short, overvalued stocks are those whose price exceeds the company’s near-term earnings outlook, or its price-to-earnings (P/E)

Palantir Technologies (NYSE:PLTR) has announced a few impressive commercial deals in recent months, and there are signs that its government business could be more “sticky” than I previously believed.

Founded by billionaire Richard Branson, New Mexico-headquartered Virgin Galactic (NYSE:SPCE) is on a mission to send people into space, even if they’re not professional astronauts.

DoorDash (NYSE:DASH) and other growth stocks have experienced massive pull-backs in the past six months. Moreover, with the U.S. Federal Reserve’s hawkish policy stance, stocks trading at lofty multiples such as DoorDash are likely to be hit the most. Apart from the tough trading year ahead for DASH stock, the lingering issues with its underlying

The Nasdaq has taken a plunge at the start of 2022. However, the fall of tech stocks may provide an opportunity to buy low and sell high. In a bear market, prices and the intrinsic value of companies can substantially deviate. But over time, they will move closer to the true values of companies and

For those that may be easily aroused to anger when it comes to contrasting opinions about the equities sector, you might want to turn away from this list of overrated stocks to avoid. While I’m not going to present a directly bearish thesis — as in ultra-speculative short-selling ideas — I do believe that economic

Electric vehicle (EV) companies are great long-term investments, but investors need to ensure that they manage their short-run value at risk because it tends to be negatively skewed when volatility enters the fray. Nio (NYSE:NIO) performed especially well during the earlier stages of the pandemic for two reasons. First, NIO stock gained because unexpected expansionary

Cayman Islands-based StoneCo (NASDAQ:STNE) offers financial technology solutions and has operations in Brazil.

I have a few personal nicknames for our own Louis Navellier. Ferrari Louis. Mister InvestorPlace. But whatever you might call him — good, bad or indifferent — he is universally considered outspoken. So, when Navellier becomes more opinionated than usual, such as his take on ContextLogic (NASDAQ:WISH), people should listen. For WISH stock, I don’t

As investors we can do all the homework necessary to find opportunities. But sometimes the game becomes rigged – pun intended – thereby putting us at risk.
