What’s your gut feeling, now that Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) stock has blasted past its 2021 peak? Are you enthused and ready to buy, or concerned that stock traders and analysts are too optimistic now? Your response says a lot about you as an investor, and if you’re a true contrarian, then you might want

January has been a bit of a jumpstart for solid-state battery stock QuantumScape (NYSE:QS). The company, known for its batteries that can be charged 1000x without degradation, has short-term potential as a way for investors to ride rallies. But the long-term picture for QS stock appears to be blurry, and investors should this factor before

By the time the United States Federal Reserve convened for its Federal Open Markets Committee (FOMC) meeting in December, federal economic data had already pointed to a sustained cooling in consumer prices. The Consumer Price Index, for example, only rose 3.2%, from a year-over-year (Y/Y) perspective, in October, which was approximately 590 basis points lower than the

The remote work environment is still dynamically changing as 2024 approaches. What was once a requirement during the pandemic is now considered standard practice in the business sector. This change has important ramifications for investors, especially when it comes to choosing which firms to sell that are remote work stocks. The hybrid work approach combines

I read two articles recently about Nio (NYSE:NIO) stock that made me wonder if it’s a buy now, at its lowest point since June 2020. The first headline was, Could Nio stock rise 1,000% in 10 years? The second asked, Will Nio Be a Trillion-Dollar Stock by 2050? That’s pretty heady stuff. I definitely wouldn’t

Investments are generally tied to broad macroeconomic themes such as changing demand, inflation, interest rates, or other big-picture items.  However, in some cases, an investment’s fate largely depends on regulatory or political events. Even if the economic picture is favorable, a negative dealing with the government can entirely invalidate the bullish thesis. For these three

Indeed, 2024 has effectively ushered in a topsy-turvy period for global supply chains. Major Panama and Suez Canal disruptions and escalating geopolitical tensions reshape decades-old trade routes. In particular, retailers are feeling the heat of these major upheavals, especially with the continuing attacks in the Red Sea. Those impact Suez Canal accessibility, a critical route

Inflation has come a long way, and cuts to the Federal Funds rate are expected for the latter half of 2024, but geopolitical tensions are hotter than they have been in a while. Geopolitical tensions between the United States and China, as well as renewed conflict in the Middle East, including the Israel-Hamas War and

Wondering if you should be selling your restaurant stocks in 2024? As we start the new year, market professionals look at the tea leaves and provide their outlook on how the rest of the year will unfold. According to Morgan Stanley, one of the growing concerns is a hard landing and a surprising recession due

Finding stocks to sell in 2024 isn’t hard, but actually executing is another matter. For example, bearish sentiment abounds around the Magnificent Seven as the S&P 500 hits all-time highs despite sweeping tech layoffs and overall economic unease. And sure, you could short a stock like Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) on the grounds of massive overvaluation. But

Regulatory pressure on businesses in the technology sector has been increasing since last year. Rules on content moderation and payment activities appeared in the government’s supervisory agenda in several countries, while President Biden’s executive order on the safety and security of artificial intelligence has already been signed. Smaller companies are holding their breath, thinking that

Google parent Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL,NASDAQ:GOOG) stock has been a phenomenal investment over the past decade returning double the S&P 500 on the back of search. Although cloud services are gaining more attention, advertising runs Alphabet. It accounts for 57% of total revenue and produces virtually all of the company’s operating income. While that has been driving

Nio (NYSE:NIO) stock has fallen below $6 per share, levels not seen since before the 2020 “EV stocks” bubble. “EV stock mania” caused a surge in this penny stock during 2020 and 2021 driving it north of $60 per share. With prices at multi-year lows, some may consider buying this Chinese EV maker. My answer

I can’t blame anyone for wanting to invest in renewable energy stocks. There are only so many fossil fuels that mankind can burn, and the Earth is sending out serious signals about the planet’s health and global warming. But you also can’t jump headlong into solar, wind, or other renewable energy names without doing your

The United States banking sector had been in the spotlight in the first half of last year, as a series of events shook the industry and the markets. In March 2023, a wave of bond selloffs triggered by rising inflation expectations caused massive losses for banks holding long-term debt securities. In April, several regional banks collapsed due

The industry is witnessing a mixed bag of fortunes in the dynamic world of online streaming. Though industry bellwethers such as Netflix continue to shine, its competition is struggling, with many of them evolving into streaming stocks to sell. Moreover, certain streaming platforms are struggling remarkably in terms of their financials, with gross margins and

The biotech segment is one of the most potent, boasting an impressive Compounding Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 13.96% until 2030. However, investing in biotech stocks also bears immense risk, as companies’ performance relies heavily on drug approvals. A major drug approval has the potential to multiply stock price several times, while a failure to

The gig economy is still going strong in 2024. It’s also growing three times faster than the U.S. workforce as a whole, which is pretty cool. In the U.S., this means that by 2027, more than half of the people who work will have gig economy jobs. The fast rise makes it easier for job workers to

Earnings season can have an outsized impact on a company’s share price, which means considering stocks to sell before earnings reports are released. Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) reports great subscriber growth and its stock jumps 12% higher. 3M (NYSE:MMM) issues weak forward guidance, and its stock falls 10%. Given the big swings in share prices caused by

It’s one thing to make an investment that doesn’t work out. No one gets every call right. It’s another thing to keep holding on or doubling down as a company spirals toward irrelevancy. In the stock market, there is no virtue to hanging onto shares of a company that’s a lost cause. The following three
