In the aftermath of the Covid-19-induced sell-off in the first quarter of 2020, high-growth stocks sprung to life. In particular, EV stocks charged higher.

Fortune released some data on Aug. 24 about the impending housing market crash. Over 183 housing markets in the U.S. could see home prices drop by 20% if a recession hits.

Previously obscure Helbiz (NASDAQ:HLBZ) stock suddenly received a lot of attention among traders recently, likely due to a resurgence of the meme-stock movement.

Helbiz’s main business is micro-mobility services, which might sound intriguing. However,
It’s probably high time to look at your portfolio and see which growth stocks to sell. It has been a disappointing year on Wall Street, to say the least. In 2021, the major indices were up anywhere from 19.5% to 26.9%. Not too shabby. But so far this year, we’ve not had any such luck.

With hardly any warning, Weber (NASDAQ:WEBR) stock garnered attention among traders recently and catapulted higher. Is this due to company-specific news, such as a terrific earnings report?

Investor enthusiasm for Nio (NYSE:NIO) stock has started to renew since May. After falling to as low as $11.70 per share, the China-based electric vehicle (or EV maker) has climbed back to around $19 per share.

New York-headquartered Mind Medicine (NASDAQ:MNMD), sometimes informally known as MindMed, was largely unknown on Wall Street.

While no guarantees of a housing market crash exist, investors may need to start considering sector-related stocks to sell. Primarily, it’s no longer amateur doom-and-gloom luminaries broadcasting bearishness.

There’s seemingly good news, but really more bad news, when it comes to neo-banking firm SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) stock. It’s true that SOFI stock popped after the company released its second-quarter 2022 earnings data. Yet, this might have been an over-enthusiastic response to less-than-ideal quarterly results.

Electric vehicle (EV) stocks have had a tumultuous few years. A number of factors have made some electric-vehicle stocks very risky for investors.
