While I could get into a complicated argument about Greenidge Generation (NASDAQ:GREE), I think my colleague Alex Sirois said it best and said it succinctly: “There is now no reason to be invested” in GREE stock following the underlying company’s merger with Support.com in mid-September.

Stocks to sell
SmileDirectClub (NASDAQ:SDC) is all about straightening teeth using a telehealth approach by selling its teeth aligners directly online.

One of the most important traits for any investor, business executive or marketer is the ability to identify their target audiences and see things from the latter’s point of view. I believe those who are bullish on Ocugen (NASDAQ:OCGN) stock are failing to do that. OCGN stock has made headlines thanks to the company’s Covid-19
Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) is still not the world’s most valuable carmaker. Toyota Motor (NYSE:TM) is, for now. Its resistance to the EV revolution makes TM stock a problem in the long term.

A bit of positive news included in Carnival’s (NYSE:CCL) second-quarter results lifted CCL stock in late September. But even as the world appears on track to get “back to normal,” you may not want to buy Carnival’s shares at its present levels.

A year ago, electric vehicles (EVs) were a promising sector for investors. But in 2021, that all changed. Sponsors of special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs) flooded the market with new EV stock investments. Some of these, like Lucid Motors (NASDAQ:LCID), have worked out pretty well. Most, however, have been terrible for investors. Unfortunately, Lordstown Motors
With the seemingly worsening crisis of property developer China Evergrande (OTCMKTS:EGRNF), it may be time for investors to at least consider reducing exposure to companies tied to the world’s second-largest economy.

What’s the latest with Clover Health (NASDAQ:CLOV) stock? To be honest, not much. Since I last wrote about CLOV stock on Sept. 16, the situation with the meme stock favorite hasn’t changed.

Globalstar (NYSEAMERICAN:GSAT) is a highly speculative global satellite company that is coming off peak speculation. GSAT stock peaked at $2.69 on hopes that Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) was going to sign up with the company. When that didn’t happen during a recent Sept. 14 conference, the stock started falling. Unfortunately, it probably has much lower to go.

Just one month ago, sentiment surrounding mobile e-commerce company ContextLogic (NASDAQ:WISH) was positive. Seven analysts considered WISH stock a “buy” and four others rated the stock a “hold.” But these days, sentiment has darkened considerably.

I usually avoid the word “bet” when providing financial analysis. That’s because rigorous financial analysis is the opposite of a bet. Rather, it’s a decision supported by solid arguments and facts, all of which form either a bullish or a bearish thesis. But when it comes to sports-betting company DraftKings (NASDAQ:DKNG), I guess I’ll allow
MicroVision (NASDAQ:MVIS) is still up for sale, at least according to the company’s latest 10-Q report. The reason is pretty simple. It still only has one customer for its Lidar products.

Clover Health Investments Corp (NASDAQ:CLOV), a Medicare Advantage insurer in eight states in the U.S., is still producing huge losses.
