Stocks to sell

The U.S. housing market has remained surprisingly resilient coming out of the Covid-19 pandemic. The economic recession that has been predicted for more than a year now has not arrived, keeping buyers on the hunt for new homes. And while higher interest rates have led many homeowners to sit tight and put off listing their

With hopes for lower interest rates and normalizing economic conditions, real estate investment trusts (REITs) have been moving higher. However, as macro uncertainties mount, there are now plenty of REITs to avoid in August. After all, REITs are highly sensitive to interest rates (rising when rates fall, sinking when rates rise). Plus, if it turns

It may seem like an odd time to be writing about risky energy stocks. After all, the United States Energy Information Administration (EIA) removed all doubt as to the direction of oil prices for the remainder of 2023 at least. The agency is expected to forecast that domestic oil production is expected will rise by

As we soar into the year’s second half, the seemingly sunny skies for airline stocks appear cloudier. The hot streak in the first half will likely tempt investors to buckle in for a profitable journey. However, as we look closer, the proverbial airline stocks to avoid signs may be urgently flashing. Travel may have jetted

By now, you’ve likely heard about ongoing strikes affecting entertainment stocks. After actors joined the writer picket lines, most entertainment stocks fell sharply. The fallout was broad, affecting legacy media franchises and streaming platforms alike. But continuing strikes aren’t all that’s suppressing entertainment stocks, and the future is bleak for legacy companies reliant on cable

Last month, electric vehicle stocks spiked in price, including Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID). There are two reasons why LCID stock and other names in the space moved higher. For one, there were rising hopes of improvements ahead for the two biggest issues weighing over both the economy and the stock market: high inflation and high interest

Cybersecurity is one of the fastest growing subsectors within the broader technology sector. But just like any sector there are cybersecurity stocks to buy and cybersecurity stocks to avoid.   Even before the global pandemic, enterprise companies already understood that protecting their businesses from cyberattacks was a need. Since 2020, many of these same companies

The world is moving toward a greener future. Many countries are implementing policies such as net zero emissions targets or upcoming bans on the sale of gasoline-powered vehicles. The future is bright, as a whole, for renewable energy stocks. But there are many firms in the space that will fail to capitalize on this societal

The last things you need to have distressing your portfolio this month are F-rated stocks. I believe the stock market is in a good place, and economists believe that third-quarter GDP could exceed the 2.4% the U.S. recorded in Q2. But if you have F-rated stocks, your August will be an expensive waste. Think of

With the new bull market taking a storm, now might be a good time to consider tech stocks to sell. 2022 was a rough year for investors, as the global economy battled with high inflation and rising interest rates. The stock market fell more than 20%, and small to large-cap tech stocks saw some of their largest

As the market heads into the dog days of summer, investors may be putting their portfolios on autopilot and waiting to get direction in the Fall. That may be fine for some stocks. But if you own basic materials stocks, you should take one more look before holding through the summer. While there are some

Utilities that generate the electricity we need in our daily lives are necessary. Whether the electricity is developed from traditional methods of burning fossil fuels or renewable sources such as wind, water, and sunlight, utilities serve a critically important purpose in communities around the world. But this does not mean that utilities make good investments.

As a new bull market emerges, plenty of industrial stocks are flying high. Yet while this may suggest the best move now is to buy industrial stocks, it may be better to sell industrial stocks instead. Why? Among higher-quality stocks in the industrials sector, the market may have overestimated how quickly economic challenges like inflation and interest

The EV market has evolved, and Lucid Group’s (NASDAQ:LCID) stock performance no longer relies solely on hype. However, recent data indicates that Lucid hasn’t met expectations. With strong competition in the EV industry and what I’d suggest is only a “D” grade in stock performance, investors might find better opportunities elsewhere. The EV stock faces

The aerospace and defense industry is one investors should pay attention to and possibly invest in to diversify their portfolios. Defense companies tend not to follow market volatility as much as other industries. This is an advantage in a market downturn. These companies tend to not be hit so hard compared to the overall market.

Not long ago, we warned investors about the problems facing electric vehicle manufacturer Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID). Even if LCID stock catches a bid now and then, we’re still assigning it a “D” grade and a cautious outlook. Interestingly, Norway-based financial institution DNB Asset Management doubled its share position in Lucid Group. Does this mean you should go all-in

Real estate stocks are forming the perfect storm. First, the pandemic greatly reduced society’s desire to use various kinds of commercial real estate. Second, soaring interest rates have made it far more difficult for leveraged real estate owners to make good on their interest payments and debt refinances. Some firms will get through the disruption

Prior to early 2023, enterprise artificial intelligence (AI) company C3.ai (NYSE:AI) was relatively unknown. Then, everybody and his uncle started talking about machine learning, and AI stock shot to the moon. Now, instead of backing up the truck and going all in, it’s time to consider scaling back on your share position in C3.ai. I

Although crude oil had a strong run in July and is now trading back above $80 a barrel, the price has been largely trending lower since peaking at $122 per barrel in June 2022 after Russia invaded Ukraine. The decline is starting to show up in energy companies’ earnings. Most oil majors just announced their

The recent rally in the stock market has pleased investors with outstanding returns. With the earnings season going on in full swing, investors have high expectations from companies, especially the top tech companies. Driven by the AI craze, we have seen several companies report better-than-expected numbers. However, one should not judge all companies based on
