Stocks to sell

Although it’s not a topic that everyone loves to hear, the concept of stocks to sell is a necessary one. Fundamentally, with fears of a global recession rising, investors need to start preparing for the worst. Of course, they can target recession-resistant market ideas as an active measure. But sometimes, you just need to cut

It has been a bruising year for tech stocks. But not all tech securities are equal. Some have fared much better than others. The current market downturn has exposed many technology companies that have not been able to live up to the hype surrounding them. It has also brought far lower the shares of many

Inflation is forcing people to make tough choices in 2022. Nevertheless, the chief executive of audio streaming service Spotify (NYSE:SPOT) is weighing price increases. This could turn out to be a serious misstep. On top of that, investors or would-be investors in SPOT stock need to consider Spotify’s financials, which are subpar even if the company

There was a time when it seemed investors couldn’t get enough of electric vehicle stocks. In their euphoria, they bid up shares of established players all the way down to pre-revenue startups to unsustainable heights. Then the bubble burst and EV stocks came crashing down. Amid concerns about demand destruction, range anxiety and the viability

Like many investors, I’m sure you’ll be more than happy to bid adieu to 2022, and to portfolio laggards. In fact, to help get you started, here are several growth stocks to sell. The end of the year is no time to be sentimental. Instead, it’s time to cut your losses and sell stocks that are

Technology stocks are showing some signs of life with the Nasdaq Composite up nearly 10% over the past four trading days. The renewed interest in growth stocks has been triggered by lower-than-expected inflation readings. The hope is that the Federal Reserve will begin to ease its aggressive rate-hiking campaign. However, the recent data is far

As we look ahead to next year, we must consider which stocks to sell and which opportunities to pursue. This year has been about de-risking portfolios, and that trend will likely continue for the foreseeable future. Stocks have been under duress for several months now, and the trend isn’t going away anytime soon. The Federal

Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) stock is zooming, but does this mean that the company’s business is booming? Before you answer this question, be sure to check the chipmaker’s financials. Then, closely listen to Advanced Micro Devices CEO’s words of warning. Only then can you make a fully informed decision. When all is said and done,

Last week, SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) shares made a sharp move higher. Between the market close on Nov. 9, and the market close on Nov. 11, SOFI stock surged by a total of 19.5%, briefly re-hitting the $6 per share price level. Much of this big move higher had to do with the broad market rally

Undoubtedly, electric vehicle stocks have been on a roll in recent days. Sparked by positive comments about the sector from Chinese President Xi Jinping, the lack of a big Republican victory in America’s recent congressional elections, and China’s reopening initiative, the beleaguered sector is definitely in the midst of a comeback. Another factor that may

There are many misconceptions about dividend stocks. The conventional wisdom is that dividend stocks are safe investments that provide shareholders with a steady and reliable income stream. To that end, many investors assume that the higher the dividend yield, the better. Not so fast. Often, a high dividend yield is a sign of trouble. Unusually high

The explosive stock market rally seen on Nov. 10 may have invited some investors to start thinking this downturn is coming to a close. However, before you make the move from “risk-off” to “risk-on,” there are certainly concerns to consider. That goes double for those planning to dive back into speculative investments. There are plenty

Things seem to be getting worse in China. In recent months, Chinese President Xi Jinping has consolidated his grip on power. He’s pledged to return China’s economy to its socialist roots and move away from the free market path it had been on. This follows more than a year of crackdowns on publicly traded Chinese

At long last, after taking a beating all year long SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) stock had a good day. On Nov. 1 share shot higher after SoFi released its third-quarter 2022 financial results. Yet, those gains were quickly coughed up as SOFI stock retreated over the next couple of days. Investors must ask themselves: Why did this happen, and

Like many of its FAANG peers, Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) stock has experienced a post-earnings plunge in recent weeks. Following the cloud computing and e-commerce giant’s latest quarterly earnings release, AMZN stock has hit multi-year lows. More or less, the stock has fallen back to price levels last seen at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. Considering

As interest rates (and the chance of a recession) keep rising, the likelihood we see this bear market in tech stocks continue into 2023 increases. However, while some high-quality, reasonably-priced names in the sector may make for great long-term buys right now, there are quite a few tech stocks to avoid. Despite the significant multiple

There’s a decent chance that any stock investment is bound to decline in value right now. The Federal Reserve recently instituted its fourth consecutive 75 basis point (0.75%) interest rate hike. This move signaled that the ultimate terminal rate required to bring down inflation may be higher than initially anticipated. For most stocks, this has

Meme stocks represented one of the most remarkable developments in the equities space during much of the new normal. However, by 2022, this sector received a very rude awakening. To be fair, this space enjoys backing from powerful Internet communities, making a shorting proposition wildly risky. So, that’s not what I’m going to talk about.

For years, investing in growth stocks was the key to building an incredible long-term portfolio. Investing in such stocks resulted in oversized returns, which enabled investors to build a robust portfolio. However, given the wild market gyrations, growth stocks have dipped to multi-year lows. Though this may seem like an excellent opportunity, it’s more prudent

In the dumpster fire that is the U.S. stock market in 2022, the Dow Jones Industrial Average is the only one of the major indices that is not currently in a bear market. Year to date, the blue-chip index is down around 10% compared to a 21% decline in the S&P 500 and a 33%
