Navigating the financial sector’s tumultuous waters has been incredibly challenging, especially with the unexpected collapse of Silicon Valley Bank in March. This event has cast a long shadow over the sector, causing bank shares to struggle and putting Wall Street on high alert. Amidst this uncertainty, short-sellers and fundamental investors seeking value are looking to
It’s understandable if some investors are intrigued by QuantumScape (NYSE:QS) stock. The electric vehicle battery technology company’s forever battery seems promising, at least in theory. Since QuantumScape is taking a while to move from idea to revenue, there’s significant risk that QS stock might lose value over the coming months. Indeed, QuantumScape stock has already declined
While the concept of market success glamorizes taking shots on potential winners, a holistically positive plan can’t ignore stocks to cut losses on.

Amid 2023’s continued stock market drama, homebuilder stocks have remained surprisingly resilient even as analysts predict an imminent crash. But homebuilder financial and operational reporting is built on a foundation of lagging indicators. Those indicators may be catching up to reality. The homebuilding market is rife with examples of the bullwhip effect; changes in consumer
As we stare down the possibility of a recession, it’s time to consider which consumer stocks to sell. Americans are now being thriftier than they have over the past year. Consumers are trading down and that is putting pressure on the U.S. economy which is heavily dependent on consumer spending. In turn, that has created
As the housing market enters a period of potential turmoil, it’s time to consider the smartest commercial real estate stocks to sell. Commercial real estate stocks are facing a combination of multiple factors that threaten the sector. That pressure poses the risk of leading to a collapse.

Since Facebook formally changed its name to Meta (NASDAQ:META), the Metaverse has been a siren song for investors and companies alike.

It might be time to start looking for stocks to ditch. Stock markets continue to be volatile and plenty of well-known companies are seeing their share prices fall to new lows. Regardless of whether the declines are because of poor management, macroeconomic headwinds, growing competition, or negative investor sentiment, many once dominant stocks are struggling
When looking at a number of overvalued blue-chip stocks, “Sell in May and Go away” fits. Typically, blue-chip stocks are generally among the safest stocks to own. These are companies that generate consistent revenue and earnings because their products are generally in demand no matter what’s happening in the economy. But even blue-chip stocks can
While there are plenty of bargains to buy among penny stocks, there are also a good amount of overvalued penny stocks to sell. While significantly lower-priced now than they were at their respective high water-marks, many of these stocks are hardly bargains, trading at valuations unsustainable relative to their current operating performance. Rather than having high
No, you read this correctly – we’re here to discuss overvalued value stocks to sell. Seemingly a contradiction in terms, a company that becomes overvalued by nature is no longer a value play.

Navigating the tumultuous housing landscape can be a nerve-racking endeavor for long-term investors. With towering home prices, escalating mortgage rates, and a shrinking inventory, the echoes of a potential housing market crash are difficult to ignore. Hence, investors may want to consider which stocks to avoid, if the housing market tanks. The housing market’s health
There’s no denying that Shopify (NYSE:SHOP) stock hit a grand slam with the company’s quarterly results, released earlier this month. It’s also encouraging to know that Shopify plans to focus on its core e-commerce business and will cut costs by reducing its headcount. On the other hand, investors might want to take it slow with SHOP
The phrase “from bad to worse,” may sound cliché, but it is perhaps the best way to describe the current situation with Mullen Automotive (NASDAQ:MULN). Over the past few weeks, MULN stock has kept rapidly depreciating in value. A grab bag of longstanding risks continues to persist. If that is not bad enough, there’s one
Not all bank stocks are bad ones. Finding some gems out there is certainly possible, but I won’t be beating down the bushes looking for opportunities in the banking sector. These days there’s more to dislike about bank stocks than there is to appreciate them. Regional bank stocks are depressed because of the Silicon Valley
For more than two months, shares in electric vehicle maker Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:RIVN) have languished at prices in the low-to-mid teens per share. That’s a far cry from the more than $30 per share RIVN stock traded for as recently as December. This former hot stock’s high-water mark was $172 per share, hit not too long
