Stocks to sell

The recent rotation out of tech stocks has only made the decline in some names worse. Already battered and bruised, many of the most disliked tech stocks have fallen sharply since the beginning of July as investors shift capital into value stocks and small-cap securities. This has worsened an already bad situation. Even before the

The U.S. equities rally seems to be fizzling out. Over the past five days, the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite has tumbled 4.3%, while the S&P500 has fallen by a smaller 2.4%. Anyone familiar with historical market movements would understand that, towards the end of July and into August, U.S. equities typically post a string of losses.

Markets have been slipping recently, but make no mistake. Now is the time to buy growth stocks. These drops are a short-term issue. FED chair Jerome Powell says he sees inflation and economic growth in “much better balance.” This indicates improving market conditions. Additionally, it strengthens press release claims of Powell lowering interest rates in

Selling stocks just because of the negative momentum riding behind them is not typically a good idea. However, for the firms that have lost their way, with questionable (and perhaps deteriorating) long-term growth narratives, decaying fundamentals, or other uncertainties that could weigh heavily on one’s longer-term (think three to five years or more) investment thesis,

As of July, political analysts are forecasting a red wave in November and Donald Trump’s return to the Oval Office. If you remember, from his first stint as President, Trump implemented several different economic policies. Much of his focus is on returning employment and manufacturing to the United States.  So, as investors, which companies can

Over the long term, clean energy should continue to be a growing sector. The world needs more electricity, and that will especially be true given the increasing power demand in sectors such as electric vehicles (EVs) and artificial intelligence. However, there’s no guarantee that the growth curve will be a stable one. In fact, historically,

After reaching a peak of $134 per share on July 10, shares of Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) have rolled over to $118. Nvidia is a great company. It should bring in $80 billion in revenue this year, recording over half as net income. But with a market cap of $2.9 trillion you’re paying 36x sales and 69x

Cannabis stocks have gained in the past couple of months following the federal government’s reclassification of the drug. Experts also anticipate that the lobby to lift the ban on the U.S. financial institutions financing cannabis stocks and the reclassification may see the industry market value double to $57 billion by 2028. These three cannabis stocks,

While it is true that many financial stocks have rebounded in the market this year thanks to high profitability levels and increased demand, some have not enjoyed this same turn of fortune. The financial industry remains one of the most profitable industries in the world. However, there are many reasons that could cause financial stocks

Although they may continue to experience share price appreciation, they have a more substantial potential for a rapid decline than other companies trading closer to the sector average. Overvalued stocks are best for investors to strongly consider their upside potential before investing to prevent unneeded portfolio losses. Below,

In the dynamic world of cloud computing, shifts in market dynamics can happen faster than a flash of lightning. Despite the sector’s explosive growth over recent years, not all cloud companies are primed to keep soaring. The cloud computing market is projected to grow significantly from $0.68 trillion in 2024 to $1.44 trillion by 2029,

Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:RIVN) has been on a winning streak lately. A spate of positive developments has really moved the needle for Rivian stock over the past two months. The EV maker may not even be done with its extended rebound in price. An upcoming event could give the summer rally further momentum. However, while there’s

Investors could benefit from ditching these three problematic coal stocks now, given recent developments in wind energy. All countries are developing policies to enhance the shift towards renewable energy sources. In the U.S., the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) has provided significant tax credits and incentives for wind energy projects. In the same manner, Europe’s REPowerEU

Investing in the stock market is always a gamble, and some risky stocks present an unusually high level of volatility, potentially outweighing any possible returns. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq have reported excellent year-to-date (YTD) gains. However, this bullish outlook can mask underlying pitfalls in high-risk stocks that are unlikely to withstand turbulent markets. Although

The market has sustained a prolonged rally in recent months, supported by optimism and improving economic indicators like robust consumer spending. However, in recent days we have seen a shift as many overvalued stocks have started pulling back, with investors increasingly favoring value over high-flyers. This applies to industrial stocks, too. The industrial sector, while

The stock market has featured many winners in 2024 that have rewarded patient investors. The S&P 500 is up by 16% year-to-date while the Nasdaq Composite has gained 19% year-to-date. While big tech has carried these indices higher, many smaller companies have also performed well.  It’s been hard to find stocks that have lost value

Overall, renewable energy is considered to be one of the most promising industries for long-term investment; however, not every one of these renewable energy stocks is poised to bring a profit. The renewable energy sector is highly dependent on government policy and subsidies, which are not always reliable due to the political environment. Variations in

Over the last 50 years, the banking industry in the United States has undergone a significant number of changes that have left it more centralized than ever. It has also left them reliant on big banks in the Federal Reserve for most people’s active financial management. Where once most people went to their regional banking

SolarEdge Technologies (NASDAQ:SEDG) stock is down 90% from where it stood one year ago. Not only does it mean the business has fallen on hard times but there are likely few investors left after the rout. Yet Wall Street remains remarkably upbeat about SolarEdge stock. Depending upon who is counting, analysts have consensus price targets

Electric vehicle manufacturer Nio (NYSE:NIO) is based in China, which could present difficulties during this time of international tension. The last thing you need is to increase your portfolio’s volatility, so there’s no need to rush into a hasty trade with NIO stock. The uncertainty surrounding Nio was heightened recently as the automaker’s chief financial officer, Steven Wei Feng, just
