Stocks to sell

U.S. equities posted some gains last week, which I’m sure was refreshing to see given the sell-off a week prior. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite gained 2.7% and 2.2%, respectively. This brings their respective year-to-date gains up to 6.9% and 4.0%. Unfortunately, market risks still remain. Not only do we still need inflation to come down consistently, but

In the era of Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), many retailers have gone bankrupt because they could not compete with the e-commerce juggernaut. And of course, the pandemic-era lockdowns causing many retailers to become saddled with gargantuan debt did not help. In just the last several years multiple, once major, companies have all gone belly up. The most

As the electric vehicle market softens, things look bleak for Rivian (NASDAQ:RIVN). If you invested in Rivian stock you may already have a hint of what to expect when it reports Q1 earnings May 7. RIVN recently announced it produced almost 14,000 vehicles and delivered nearly 13,600. It remains on target to produce 57,000 EVs

The Biden administration began with a great deal of enthusiasm around renewable energy stocks. Shares of firms in wind, solar, hydrogen and electric vehicles (EVs), among other green sectors, soared on hopes on significant government stimulus. And, for a time, that thesis played out. The Inflation Reduction Act was a landmark piece of legislation that

The stocks discussed below are all flashing various warning signs that alert investors to sell. Each of these three companies has initiated a reverse stock split in the past. Some have initiated several.  If you are unfamiliar with how reverse stock spits operate, this a quick explaination. Let’s say you own 10 shares of a

Michael Saylor isn’t just the chairman of MicroStrategy (NASDAQ:MSTR), he’s also a well-known cheerleader for Bitcoin (BTC-USD). However, Saylor sold more than 1,000 shares of MicroStrategy stock on March 20. MicroStrategy bills itself as the “world’s first Bitcoin development company.” I’m not quite sure if that’s true, but MicroStrategy could certainly claim to be the

The price war underway in the electric vehicle market is good for no one but especially not for Nio (NYSE:NIO) stock. Operating losses continue to expand as it continues to sell more vehicles at lower prices. Although lower starting prices should attract more buyers, it’s already the case Nio is losing money on every car

The road to full electrification still has a long way to go. The EV market has struggled since last year, and some companies have been forced to close their shops. The declining demand for EVs has created an ever-increasing list of EV stock nightmares to avoid. That’s why I looked at which companies are posing

The rapid ascent of e-commerce and shifting consumer shopping trends are fundamentally transforming the retail sector. As a result, brick-and-mortar stores are witnessing dwindling foot traffic, squeezed profits and fierce competition. Amid these challenges, choosing the correct brick-and-mortar retail stocks to sell is crucial for long-term portfolio protection. Boston Consulting Group forecasts e-commerce to seize a

BankRate recently noted that home prices in the U.S. continue to rise due to a persistent lack of housing supply, even amidst some of the highest mortgage rates seen in the last two decades. This ongoing price increase is driven by low inventory levels and robust demand, which outpaces the supply. Also, the article noted

A few years after electric vehicles seemed poised to dominate the automotive industry, the stock market has sharply turned. Now, investing in electric vehicle stocks is an exercise in pain tolerance. While Tesla’s (NASDAQ:TSLA) recent earnings commentary propelled the EV market higher (it certainly wasn’t the company’s numbers, which were abysmal), most other EV companies

There’s a general understanding among most financial analysts that defense companies provide significant portfolio stability during recessions. Indeed, these companies, especially defense companies with no commercial exposure, dip directly into the coffers of their countries’ governments. Thus, they are less subject to rising inflation costs and falling consumer spending. However, these bullish perceptions evaporate with

Technology stocks had a great run in 2023. This year, not so much. In the past month, the tech-laden Nasdaq composite index has fallen 5%. Mega-cap tech stocks such as Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) have faltered badly amid escalating concerns that interest rates will remain higher for longer. Possibly much longer. At the same time, notable tech

Despite some recent gains, Robinhood Markets (NASDAQ:HOOD) stock remains a risky bet and investors should steer clear of the stock. Right now, HOOD stock looks to be on the comeback trail. Year to date, the share price is up 39%. Robinhood’s stock has been rising due to increased trading volumes and record-breaking cryptocurrency prices. But

Trump Media & Technology Group (NASDAQ:DJT) stock, the Donald Trump media project that recently went public to much fanfare, has the tumultuous nature of meme stock. Shares soared on their first availability, then plunged, but are starting to rise once more. None of it has to do with Trump Media’s financials. The company reported over

SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) stock has failed to rebound. While the Nasdaq and S&P500 enjoyed a great rally at the end of Q1, SOFI shares had plummeted 26.6% over the same period. The poor share price performance is because of a worsening macroeconomic picture and SoFi’s decision to raise $750 million in convertible debt capital. SOFI has

Investing in the stock market always carries a degree of risk, and even the most diligent investors can find themselves holding positions that underperform or fail to meet expectations. As time passes, the original investment thesis may no longer hold true, and the once-promising growth story can unravel and reach six feet under. With countless

For multiple reasons, the outlook of luxury electric vehicle maker Lucid Motors (NASDAQ:LCID) has greatly improved in recent months. First, there’s a great deal to like about its upcoming Gravity SUV, including its fairly unique seven seats and overall appearance. Meanwhile, Lucid should benefit from Tesla’s (NASDAQ:TSLA) multiple problems, while the valuation of Lucid stock

The end of the first quarter means another volatile earnings season. United States equities ended Q1 on a high note after an overall positive Q4 earning season. The two major U.S. stock market indices, the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite, ended the first quarter up 10.2% and 9.1%, respectively. The small- to mid-cap index,

After leading the market higher coming out of the 2022 bear market, technology stocks have hit a rough patch. Sentiment towards the mega-cap tech companies has also shifted, as it now looks like interest rates will remain higher for longer. At the same time, geopolitical instability and spiking bond yields have zapped investors’ risk appetite.
