Stocks to sell

This article is an excerpt from the InvestorPlace Digest newsletter. To get news like this delivered straight to your inbox, click here. We’re officially in a bull market. Last week, the S&P 500 closed 20% above its recent lows and the American Association of Individual Investors (AAII) sentiment index hit its highest level since 2021. As

I’ve earned a lot since the 2022 bear market began. I did this by shorting shares of overvalued companies. These companies are clearly set to fail. It’s easy to spot these firms. They have unrealistic goals, tough competition, big challenges, poor products, bad management, or a mix of these. Picking the right stocks to sell

When it comes to overvalued dividend stocks to sell, it’s best to think of them as a “picking up pennies in front of a steamroller” type of investment. That is, in exchange for relatively modest steady gains from dividend payouts, you are assuming a big risk. That’s because these types of stocks can be vulnerable to

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 early June, I read an article about Shark Tank star Barbara Corcoran’s thoughts about the current state of affairs for office space. “No one really believes it’s going to turn the corner,” Fortune reported Corcoran’s comments. “People are staying home. Our best office buildings in midtown Manhattan are 50% occupied, and in most major

A great way to play contrarian is by selling or shorting stocks that are perpetually bleeding and have little chance of making a recovery. There are many companies like Bed Bath & Beyond (OTCMKTS:BBBYQ) that are delaying their inevitable bankruptcy through share dilution and betting against these stocks can be extremely profitable if you choose

Small-cap stocks, defined by a market capitalization between $300 million and $2 billion, can tempt investors looking for quick returns. However, these small-cap stocks to avoid can be incredibly volatile as they are lucrative, making them a potential danger zone for the unwary investor. In the ever-shifting tides of the stock market, it’s not uncommon

One of the scariest things to do as an investor is to take a critical look at one’s portfolio. Indeed, scenario analysis can be important, to see how much downside potential certain holdings may have. And while predicting the future is essentially impossible, knowing which stocks are poised to plunge, if nothing changes, is important.

A few weeks back, I said that Mullen Automotive (NASDAQ:MULN) was in the fast lane to zero. Flash forward to now, and it is perhaps apt to say that MULN stock has crashed and burned. Falling by another 41.2% during this brief time frame alone, shares in this electric vehicle company are now down by

“Price is what you pay, value is what you get.” This famed Warren Buffett investing maxim can serve you well when determining whether a penny stock (stock trading for $5 per share or less) is worthy of a buy, or if it is one of the penny stocks to sell. Investors often make the mistake

Oil prices remain in retreat. Currently the price of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil, the U.S. standard, is trading just above $70 a barrel, though it has dipped below that key level on several occasions. Concerns about slumping demand, a global recession, and excessive production are conspiring to drag crude prices lower, creating some
