Stocks to sell

Investors are always looking for a good bargain. And companies whose share prices have plunged can represent great buying opportunities if conditions are right. But there are some stocks to avoid at any price given their operating losses and flawed business models. Traders tolerated large losses in recent years if a company seemingly had a

Finding stable companies in a market downturn is vital to an investment portfolio. With Federal Reserve rates climbing to their highest levels since 2007 and the recent banking crisis, safe and robust companies are critical. These three companies have stocks to avoid based on their recent earnings misses and the overall economic outlook. Bed Bath

There were some big changes made to the S&P 500 on March 17, with several well-known stocks getting reclassified. For instance, Target (NYSE:TGT), Dollar General (NYDE:DG) and Dollar Tree (NASDAQ:DLTR) are now classified as consumer staples rather than consumer discretionary stocks. And Visa (NYSE:V), Mastercard (NYSE:MA) and Paypal (NASDAQ:PYPL) have been moved from the technology

It may be tempting to go bottom-fishing with bank stocks. However, you need to pick and choose your assets carefully. Ally Financial (NYSE:ALLY) stock might appeal to some traders because of takeover rumors that are floating around. Be careful if you’re making investment decisions based on gossip, though. Besides, Ally Financial has significant problems that you

With the banking sector fallout in the U.S. sparking jitters abroad, investors may want to consider identifying the potentially worst stocks for a bear market. To be 100% clear, I’m not advocating that you should sell any of the below equities right now. Rather, you may want to consider drafting an escape plan, just in

There’s been plenty of talk about how far the stock market correction can go from here. Market returns remain choppy, despite inflation rates cooling off last month and the likely slowdown in interest rate hikes. However, the likelihood of a sustained rally appears to be slim, so investors must consider penny stocks to avoid. Wagering

It can be tempting to look for big winners by scraping the bottom of the barrel, but what’s left down there is typically a collection of stocks to avoid. Occasionally there’s a diamond in the rough, but the old adage “what goes down must come up” doesn’t always apply. There’s always a chance you might

It’s perfectly fine to believe in the clean energy movement. However, this doesn’t mean you should invest in California-headquartered electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Mullen Automotive (NASDAQ:MULN) right now. Mullen Automotive has multiple problems that make MULN stock a no-go in 2023. Mullen Automotive offers impressive-looking EVs, but can the company offer value to its shareholders?

We’ve already seen valuations drop in 2022, as investors priced in an economic slowdown. However, it’s unclear whether a full-on market crash is being priced into equity markets right now. Indeed, many pockets of the stock market are showing signs of life once again in 2023. Investors appear to be betting on the potential for the

While there’s something romantic about taking a shot on an underappreciated enterprise, a countervailing narrative also exists, which brings us to the topic of stocks to sell. To be sure, very few people enjoy discussing this subject (especially if you own the shares mentioned). However, it’s unavoidable. At some point, you’re going to have to

Although electric vehicle stocks have become far less hot during this bear market, the pivot towards vehicle electrification keeps moving forward. Even so, that doesn’t mean every EV stock is a buy. In fact, there are plenty of names one should consider EV stocks to sell. Why? The overall trend may be favorable, but in the

Like with other financial stocks, the recent banking crisis has affected the performance of Ally Financial (NYSE:ALLY) stock. However, after plunging on the heels of many bank collapses, ALLY stock has found support. Growing speculation that legendary investor Warren Buffett’s firm, Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK.A, NYSE:BRK.B), already a large Ally Financial shareholder, will make a takeover

If you’re on the prowl for penny stock bargains, Exela Technologies (NASDAQ:XELA) is a name you’ve likely come across. While facing a Nasdaq exchange delisting, for now XELA stock is, according to Finviz, one of the lowest-priced stocks listed on a major U.S. exchange. However, make no mistake, being one of the lowest-priced stocks does

With the market just starting to recover, some overvalued tech stocks are starting to trade at a steep valuation.  Moreover, the latest rate hike is already causing some pain in the market, and we might not yet be at the bottom. In my previous columns, I argued that tech stocks were deeply undervalued due to

Over the past year, traders have looked for SPACs to sell amid a terrible slump in the sector. But the mood may be changing given the level of destruction across the sector. After all, many of these formerly promising companies are now 70%-90% below the stock prices at which they merged. Surely, some of them

Lately, it appears that Bed Bath & Beyond (NASDAQ:BBBY) has been following the playbook of many distressed publicly listed businesses. The company is seeking to enact a reverse split of BBBY stock. Furthermore, Bed Bath & Beyond is still pursuing its equity offering agreement even though the company’s shares are rapidly losing value. These measures are

Over the past couple of months, meme stocks have shown a sharp price increase. Some have risen in price several times despite the overall fall in the stock market caused by the release of data on rising inflation in the U.S. Retail investors massively bought shares of low-liquid companies, which led to a 2x-3x increase

It’s indisputable that electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) is eyeing the Saudi Arabian automotive market as a potential revenue source. Will this be enough to counterbalance Lucid’s problems at home in the U.S., though? Don’t get your hopes up, as major financial issues could weigh heavily on LCID stock in 2023. Lucid Group

When it comes to dividend investing, knowing which dividend stocks to sell can be more important than knowing which dividend stocks to buy. Buying stocks for income/yield can oftentimes be like trying to pick up pennies in front of a steamroller. Given how stocks bought primarily for their dividend can tank upon news of a dividend cut/suspension,

Many institutional and retail investors and traders often embrace fads for relatively short amounts of time. In other words, many entities will buy stocks within a “hot” category for six months to a year. Then they will rapidly sell the same equities as the Street becomes less enamored with the sector.
