“That’s what the money is for!” The climactic line from the series Mad Men explains why I just sold my shares of Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG,NASDAQ:GOOGL). If you have Alphabet stock consider following suit. Technology is a business of ideas, implemented by talented, enthusiastic, and fully empowered employees. It’s not like manufacturing. Google’s I/O developer conference has

Although tech stocks carried major market indices over the past few years, all isn’t well in tech-land. Whether due to interest rates, increased AI enthusiasm that’s somewhat misplaced, or just wider tech fatigue, tech stocks seem due for a dip. These are the tech stocks to eject that you need to evacuate from your portfolio.

There’s a great deal to like about Snap (NYSE:SNAP). Specifically, the company’s first-quarter results indicate that it is finally starting to benefit significantly from rebounding U.S. advertising spending, and its user metrics were very strong in the first quarter. Moreover, Snap is well-positioned to benefit a great deal if TikTok does wind up getting banned

Flying car stocks may have great potential, but investors should be cautious. Despite the possibility of a stronger rally in the broader market indices leading up to June, the long-term prospects for these stocks remain uncertain. The momentum seen in the market may not necessarily translate into sustained growth for flying car companies in 2024

Traders are getting excited about penny stocks right now. Keith Gill, a trader more well-known by the alias Roaring Kitty, resurfaced on social media with a tweet of a man holding a video game controller.

Tech stocks make up a large portion of popular indices like the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite. The strong-performing Magnificent Seven cohort is also filled with tech stocks. While the tech industry has offered many opportunities for investors to outperform the market, some stocks in the sector are duds. These stocks have underperformed the stock market and don’t have much redeeming qualities.  Certain

Lucid‘s (NASDAQ:LCID) first-quarter results, reported on May 6, were uninspiring, and the valuation of Lucid stock remains excessive. On the other hand, I’m now 70% to 80% sure the automaker’s upcoming Gravity SUV will be at least popular enough to keep the company afloat for the foreseeable future. I also think there’s a 50% to

Bankruptcy is simply a legal proceeding in which companies seek relief when unable to repay their debts. Although it relieves the debt burden, the effects of bankruptcy on a stock are often fatal. Publicly traded companies that declare bankruptcy see their share prices fall dramatically.  The hint of bankruptcy alone is often enough to send

Investors who buy and hold reliable companies can be rewarded immensely for staying strong during volatility. Even the best stocks endure corrections and points when many doubt long-term prospects. However, some stocks have attracted rightful skepticism and look like they can hurt long-term investors. Stocks don’t always recover and reclaim their all-time highs. These corporations look

Palantir Technologies (NYSE:PLTR) first-quarter results show that the company’s revenue and customer base are growing rapidly. Still, PLTR’s profits remain quite low considering the company’s high-flying stock. And the company continues to face multiple, strong, worrisome threats. Moreover, the Street appears to have lost its love for Palantir stock. In light of these points, I

Late last month, Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) shares were on a tear. During this time, investors bid up Tesla stock not once, but twice. TSLA’s price performance in May has been stellar. Shares have retraced a substantial portion of last month’s gains. The stock may fall back to previous lower price levels. Recent news on Chinese EVs

Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) share price enjoyed a resurgence in 2023. Many chip stocks performed well because of the buzz around artificial intelligence. Intel’s share price surged over 94.6% in 2023. Intel’s stock has plummeted over 40% this year. Below are 3 reasons Intel will likely remain a shadow of its former self. Chip Manufacturing and Intel

During these challenging times of persistent inflation and high food prices, executives need to be responsive to consumers’ needs. Unfortunately, Starbucks’s (NASADQ:SBUX) management seems to be missing the mark in 2024. After reviewing the facts, I’m categorizing Starbucks stock as “cheap for a reason.” The situation with Starbucks has gotten so bad that former CEO

Stocks hitting a new 52-week high is a psychological hurdle for investors. Particularly if a stock has been in the doldrums and now breaks out to a new high, investors tend to want to sell to capture profits. While it may not seem smart to sell stocks at 52-week highs, these stocks are not a

Dividend Aristocrats are held in high regard amongst investors due to their proven ability to achieve robust financial results and pay growing dividends over extended time periods. Considering an essential requirement of being a Dividend Aristocrat is increasing dividends for 25 consecutive years, they deserve the praise they get. However, what if I proposed that

Just when we thought the stock market was catching a break, it now has the hurricane season to contend with. The Dow popped for the seventh straight day last week, offering hope for a sustained rally ahead. However, with the Atlantic hurricane season particularly stormy this year, it’s probably apt to be thinking about stocks

With consumer spending trends tightening and the average U.S. wage stagnating, investors should watch out for retail stocks at risk of a plunge.

ExxonMobil (NYSE:XOM) recently completed its $60 billion acquisition of Pioneer Natural Resources. The deal expands the oil and gas giant’s presence in the oil-rich Permian basin. However, before the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) signed off on the transaction, Pioneer CEO Scott Sheffield was banned from taking a board seat at Exxon. It alleged Sheffield colluded

Blue-chip stocks to sell might seem odd, especially in a year with rising corporate earnings, a U.S. presidential election and possibly three rate cuts. However, stock investors must stay watchful, especially with the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average up 10% and 4.7%, respectively, far from a bull run. J.P. Morgan analysts expect poor

Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) was a darling of the chipmaking market many years ago. Then, it was a laughingstock in 2022, and then a darling again in 2023. Now, Intel is a troubled business again in 2024. Honestly, who really needs to invest in a nauseating roller-coaster play like Intel stock? We’re giving the stock a “D” grade
