Stocks to sell

U.S. equities continue their rally, defying all odds. The S&P 500 has climbed 13.9% since the start of the year, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite soared 17.3%. Well-known artificial intelligence (AI) behemoths, particularly Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), are responsible for much of the gains. Moreover, last week turned out to be great from a macroeconomic perspective. The

Navigating the world of high yield dividend stocks can be difficult. While those high yields reduce overall investor risk when share prices go down, they also require significant capital for their continued payment. Generally speaking, the higher a dividend yield, the greater the overall risk. Dividend yields in the 2% to 6% range are considered

Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) stock certainly has multiple, positive catalysts going forward. The most important of these drivers are: The artificial intelligence (AI) enhancements it just introduced. The iPhone’s revitalization in China. The Street’s renewed love affair with Apple stock. But for various reasons, these catalysts could very well be quite limited in terms of time and

Electric vehicles (EV) aren’t going away but they aren’t the growth industry they once were. Year-over-year sales are dramatically slowing with first-quarter sales rising just 2.6% from 2023. EVs accounted for 7.3% of all new-vehicle sales in the period, down from the fourth quarter, according to Kelley Blue Book. It was the first quarter-to-quarter decline

Elon Musk’s exorbitant $56 billion pay package is just one more reason why investors should steer clear of electric vehicle maker Tesla’s (NASDAQ:TSLA) stock. Executive compensation aside, Tesla stock continues to perform extremely poorly, down 32% in the last 12 months. Analyst Charlie Billelo recently pointed out that Tesla stock has been in a drawdown

An unfortunate aspect of the stock market is that certain companies can rapidly gain value as a result of bullish echo chambers. This can lead to a level of hype that sometimes obscures the real value or financial situation of a company. Thus, the result is some overvalued stocks to sell. While there are both

GameStop (NYSE:GME) held its delayed annual meeting for shareholders on Monday, June 17. The anticipation was palpable. Originally scheduled for June 13, the meeting had to be postponed because the livestream attracted so much attention it crashed the host’s servers. The rescheduled meeting, however, was a let down. CEO Ryan Cohen spoke briefly, espoused generalities

AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) stock surged with other top meme stocks following Keith “Roaring Kitty” Gill’s much-hyped return to social media. The famed meme trader’s activities (now under scrutiny) led to another short-lived wave of meme stock madness. Unfortunately, this speculative frenzy has ended. AMC holders have a lot to lose. The stock may now be

In an extremely crowded and challenging electric vehicle market, investors need to be highly selective. Faraday Future Intelligent Electric (NASDAQ:FFIE), which is often shortened to Faraday Future, might seem like an intriguing EV startup. However, it’s much too risky to buy and hold Faraday Future stock in 2024. There are so many red flags associated with

The current market rally has been one of the strongest to date. The Nasdaq index has returned almost 20% year-to-date (YTD), and that is after it gained 37% in 2023. The S&P 500 also gained 21.9% in 2023 and is up 14.5% halfway through 2024. You may argue that the Covid-19 recovery has had a

Roaring Kitty brought meme stocks back to life. His first post in three years in mid-May caused GameStop (NYSE:GME) shares to triple in value almost overnight. It also dragged other left-for-dead meme stocks along for the ride. Yet, the reaction to the meme lord (his real name is Keith Gill) by Wall Street was telling.

U.S. equities appear unstoppable. The tech-heavy Nasdaq has rallied a whopping 21% on a year-to-date (YTD) basis, while its counterpart, the S&P500 is up 15.4%.

As the June 27th presidential debate approaches, the associated volatility is expected to shake the markets, potentially positioning some stocks as riskier bets. Historically, political events like debates can introduce uncertainty that affects stock prices, making it crucial to identify potential stocks to sell to mitigate risks. In this climate, stocks in sectors directly impacted

Since 2000, the stock market has had three major crashes. The first was the 2000 dot-com bubble, the second was the 2008 housing market crash and the third was the pandemic-induced crash in 2020. It’s safe to say that anyone born in the last 30 years is no stranger to market crashes and the impact

EV stocks have been among the worst-performing options for investors over the past few years. High interest rates have caused EV sales volumes to plummet. However, while many have banked on cyclical tailwinds inflecting after rate cuts, there are potentially even worse headwinds coming into play going forward. For example, hybrids are starting to become

The tech sector is filled with stocks that outperformed the stock market. This sector also has a large presence in the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite. Big tech has inspired many investors to pursue smaller tech companies in hopes of realizing outsized returns. But not all companies are winners, and there are some tech

Inflation is an inevitable market factor. However, investors can protect themselves by steering clear of stocks likely to be hit by inflation for whatever reason. We are already halfway through the year, so we have more than enough time to conclude which stocks to buy and which stocks to sell. These three stocks are among

U.S. equities are reaching new highs after May’s consumer price index (CPI) report indicated significant cooling in pricing pressures across the broad. The headline inflation figure came in flat, while the “core” reading, which excludes price volatility from food and energy, increased only 0.2% month-over-month. The year-over-year increase in prices landed at 3.3%, which represented

Nio (NYSE:NIO) has fallen back to below $5 per share, which places NIO stock back at penny stock levels.
