Stocks to sell

Social media continues to be extremely popular. Today, five billion people — more than half the world’s population — regularly access social media sites. The average person visits seven different social media sites each month. Use of social media is even greater among young people, with 93% of teenagers in the U.S. saying they regularly

When deciding which stocks to invest in, understanding which exchanges they are listed on can make a big difference in long-term performance and perception. For most U.S.-based investors, the two exchanges they hear about the most are the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and the Nasdaq. The NYSE is known for its relative stability and

Quantum computing could very well bring about a digital age greater than generative artificial intelligence (AI). For those unaware, quantum computing leverages quantum mechanics, the physics undergirding small particles, to solve problems that classical computers have a hard time getting through. Moreover, in classical computers, bits, which are the fundamental units of information, can only

If you’ve held crypto stocks for some time, you should periodically audit which crypto stocks to sell before getting burned. Not that they couldn’t still go up, they could. But every investor needs an exit strategy for selling off all or part of their shares. The crypto stocks have tended to be more stable that

It will be tough for the stock market to keep up the pace after such an explosive first half. Undoubtedly, stocks could easily continue to rise if demand for artificial intelligence accelerates further. In any case, it’s far smarter to lower expectations by a notch, especially with valuations getting a tad ahead of their skis.

The stock market has been roaring higher since 2023. The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq remain elevated as the Magnificent Seven stocks propel these indices to all-time highs. While many stocks have been winners amid cooling inflation and robust consumer spending, that’s not the story for every growth stock. Some investors cling to the hope that superstar stocks during

With AI being all the rage, it’s no surprise that investors want to get their hand into the “cookie jar” of AI-adjacent stocks. Big data companies are going to be one of the biggest winners from this surge — they provide the data through which models are trained. The returns provided by these companies have

Since not all companies are Wall Street favorites, particularly in an election year when President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump have extremely different policy stances on key economic problems, stock downgrades may assist smart investors looking to maintain portfolio health. Because of the Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) boom, the Nasdaq Composite is up 18% and

I’ve got a surprising fact for you: New technologies are often astonishingly S… L… O… W… to take off. In 1950, there were only 25 million registered vehicles in America, or one for every six people. Though Henry Ford had introduced the Model T more than four decades earlier, many families still saw no reason

GameStop (NYSE:GME) stock has regained investor attention despite underlying financial vulnerabilities. Q1 2024 revenue dropped 29% to $881.8 million, resulting in a $32.3 million operating loss. Digital gaming posed a challenge to GameStop’s physical sales model.  Despite a temporary stock price increase, the company’s financial struggles and market erosion persist amid inflated valuation multiples. GameStop

A couple of years ago, many American investors probably had never heard of British chip designer Arm (NASDAQ:ARM), which has become a Wall Street darling on the artificial intelligence hardware trend. Ignore the temptation to jump in now; it’s too late as ARM stock is grossly overvalued. Don’t get the wrong message. Arm’s a bad company,

In some countries, Elon Musk’s satellite-based internet service provider (ISP), Starlink, has been sharply cutting prices. For example, in March the company reduced its monthly subscription fee to just 50 euros in Holland. Dutch customers also have to pay an initial fee of 225 euros or $221. Still, it’s certainly a great deal overall, especially

Nio (NYSE:NIO) stock rallied last week, but it was short-lived. An indirect factor related to positive news with another big EV name in fueled this brief uptick in price. Now that the speculative frenzy has faded, it’s no surprise that shares retreated. However, even worse than the false hope perhaps generated by this dead cat

I’ve long been a proponent of blue-chip stocks as reliable anchors in an investment portfolio. But you can’t buy them blindly. While there are outstanding blue-chip stocks out there, there’s the other side of the coin – F-rated blue-chip stocks that will do serious damage unless you properly identify them as stocks to sell. Blue-chip

Celebrity beauty brand stocks can be exceptionally exciting prospects when first looking at them. After all, they have the endorsement of celebrities to build advertising off of, which tends to get people in the door early on. However, these trends fade as first consumers recognize the overpriced nature of products that perform relatively the same

Meme stocks are some of the most dangerous investments to make right now. In my view, now may be a good time to sell many top meme stocks that have gone on big runs. Of course, investors can always put some “fun money” into these stocks as high-risk gambles. However, I would not recommend chasing

Plug Power (NASDAQ:PLUG) stock is a dicey proposition. The company has never made a profit. In 25 years of business, the hydrogen fuel cell maker has failed to make any money whatsoever for itself, let alone for investors.  No matter how much cash has been pumped into the business, Plug Power has failed to generate

While it is true that technology stocks are leading the market higher, not every tech stock is a winner. As the Nasdaq index continues to hit record highs, many of its components are slumping badly and underperforming. The reality is that for every winner like Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) stock, there are dozens of losers dragging down

AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) stock has spent all but 14 days trading in penny-stock hell so far this year. Except for a couple of short bursts like when it jumped 135% in two days trading, meme-stock investors hoping for a 2021-style revival aren’t likely to get their wish.  Although I’m the last person on earth that

When does a growth stock become one of the top growth stocks to avoid? It sounds like the beginning of a riddle or a bad joke, but the answer is obvious – it’s when the stock is deceptive and tricks you into believing that it can be a good buy. You look at the Portfolio
