Stocks to sell

Consumers are feeling the pinch. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) dramatically lowered June’s jobs numbers for the second time. Only 105,000 were created in the month, less than half the original 235,000 jobs that were expected. The same is anticipated for July’s numbers. So ignore the 3.8% unemployment rate, which also just ticked higher.

At first glance, the market jitters that began sprouting appears to have died down recently, thus making the concept of stocks to sell appear overly cautious. After all, CNBC tells us that the Dow Jones closed higher on Friday, leading to the best week since July. However, one week doesn’t tell the whole story. Against

It’s the best and it’s the worst of times for the electric vehicle (or EV) space, which perhaps may make now the right time to consider which EV stocks to sell. How can the circumstances for this nascent industry be so contrary? While sales continue to rise at a record 295,000 EVs sold during the

Sometimes I really question why we’re still talking about meme stocks. When will investors learn that the unpredictable nature of meme stocks nearly always makes them a bad investment choice? Meme stocks really took off during the Covid-19 pandemic. Investors had nothing else to do except stay home and play around on their phones and

Homeownership is a fundamental aspiration which remains a lifelong goal for many. Thus, homebuilder stocks offer promising opportunities for investors and home buyers alike. Indeed, amid this year’s market turmoil, homebuilder stocks have stayed strong, despite predicted market troubles. Even still, lagging indicators may now be reflecting reality. The bullwhip effect, triggered by consumer demand

It’s been a rough couple of weeks for AMC Entertainment’s (NYSE:AMC) stock, which declined after its AMC Preferred Equity Units (NYSE:APE) conversion. NYSE halted trading of both AMC and APE stock, amid the conversion which saw each APE share converted into 0.1 AMC shares. Prior to this, AMC executed a 1-for-10 reverse stock split and

Quantum computing stocks are having a moment. The industry’s leading pure play company, IonQ (NYSE:IONQ), up nearly 400% year to date (YTD), has plenty of positive chatter about their proprietary technology. However, traders should avoid these three other quantum stocks that don’t have the same apparent potential. It’s important to realize that there are various

Earlier this summer, it seemed as if the market was starting to appreciate possible artificial intelligence catalysts with Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM) stock. From late May through early August, QCOM stock experienced a rebound, likely because of this factor. More recently, though, shares have given back most of these gains. Sure, you can point to the fact

Is this a good time to invest in video game retailer GameStop (NYSE:GME) stock? You’ve probably heard about the massive short squeezes with GME stock and stories of meme stock traders becoming fabulously wealthy. Yet, it’s time for a sensible assessment of GameStop as the company’s recent developments don’t bode well for the shareholders. GameStop may

Before 2008, banks showed limited interest in these low-return securities. However, post the crisis, Basel Accords reduced financial risks, giving Treasury and agency securities a 0% risk weighting. This essentially classifyed them as “riskless” and excluded from ratio calculations. In turn, it led banks to aggressively increase their Treasury positions, nearly quadrupling since then. Governments

With just a month left before the final calendar quarter of 2023 begins, now may be a time to consider stocks to sell in Autumn. I know – it’s not the most pleasant of topics. As well, you’re going to want to apply caution with this fall stock clean-up list. It can be an astute

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has received incredible attention this year due to the public release of OpenAI’s ChatGPT. Its profound capabilities have successfully captured the imaginations of a swath of audiences from technology enthusiasts and investors to social commentators. That interest has led to the rise of AI stocks, like Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) and C3.ai (NYSE:AI) — sporting

With another earnings season dying down, investors may be reviewing how their given holdings performed over this past quarter. One meme stock that has been on the downtrend in recent weeks after reporting earnings is Palantir Technologies (NYSE:PLTR). Shares of PLTR stock dropped 5% on August 8 following its Q2 earnings release, and have continued

So far in August, QuantumScape (NYSE:QS) shares have declined sharply. With this nearly 50% drop in price in a matter of weeks, some may think that QS stock is oversold, and a great opportunity for short-term traders and long-term investors alike. For the near-term minded, QS may seem like a buy on weakness, ahead of

As the wheels of the electric vehicle (EV) industry continue to spin at breakneck speed, many analysts and investors have been caught up in the electrifying whirlwind of optimism. But is the industry truly driving towards a sustainable future, or is it merely coasting on the momentum of passing hype? Beneath the surface-level excitement, underlying

Warren Buffet is arguably the most successful investor of all time. And while he is known as both a value investor and a long-term, buy-and-hold market participant, he’s not averse to selling a stock if it runs against him or the reasons why he bought shares in the first place turn out to be incorrect.

Sometimes, it’s fine to take risks with small amounts of investable capital. Yet, I don’t recommend betting your hard-earned money on electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID). Despite Lucid Group’s best efforts to compete with Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) and other EV-industry rivals, LCID stock is destined to lose value in the long run. As we’ll discover in

Look no further if you’re considering stocks to sell since the market rally has taken a breather. After posting historic results in this year’s first half, led by a 30% gain in the tech-heavy Nasdaq index (its best performance in 40 years), all three major U.S. indices are in the red for August. The Dow

Four long months. That’s the amount of time since the initial strikes by Hollywood writers and actors began. Not only is it hurting workers in the industry, but it’s also taking a toll on the media production companies. Additionally, they are the ones that market films and television shows. Production on new content  remains at

Trucking is truly the backbone of American commerce. Yet, not every trucking business is destined to succeed. Unfortunately, Yellow (OTCMKTS:YELLQ) is failing spectacularly and YELL stock (now changed to YELLQ stock, as we’ll discuss in a moment) could easily be headed for zero. Of course, this won’t stop the meme stock traders from taking an interest
