Stocks to sell

While some quantum computing stocks present promising opportunities, there are also certain stocks that investors should approach with caution. Not all companies are in a position to capitalize on the technology’s potential. Overhyped stocks lack the necessary fundamentals or face significant challenges in their business models, resulting in these quantum computing stocks to avoid. We’ll

Amid the current earnings season, with brokers actively revising price targets, Citigroup (NYSE:C) recently reduced its 12-month targets for several companies.

Yet, a recent report covering 2002-2021 revealed an average difference

The U.S. Federal Reserve has officially announced that it will ease its quantitative tightening program from June onwards. This decision can be seen as a leading indicator of an interest rate pivot, which some investors might find encouraging. However, I would like to exercise caution in interpreting this development, as an expected economic slowdown appears

Artificial intelligence continues to be a major driver of the stock market. Expectations are that AI will eventually touch every aspect of our lives, opening up a huge new area of the tech sector. Bloomberg Intelligence estimates that AI will become a $1.3 trillion market by 2032. Many forecasts put the market even higher in less than 10 years. The explosive

Following the Federal Reserve’s decision to keep interest rates at multi-decade highs, it’s unclear whether a relief rally or another market sell-off lie ahead. However, irrespective of the market’s next direction, there are plenty of individual stocks facing company-specific challenges. This includes a few Dow stocks to avoid. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, a barometer

Meme stocks got their names from the ubiquitous images you find on social media. These stocks became popular in 2020 when many people became investors, as they had time on their hands and stimulus cash to spend. The circumstances created a whole category of meme stocks that were big on community, but light on fundamentals.

Growth stocks are amazing choices for investors who are willing to take a little bit of added risk in the hopes that an innovative company will achieve above-average growth in revenue and earnings.

The Federal Reserve is finally winning the war against inflation; that’s at least what the latest economic report says, but should still keep in mind that there are retail stocks to avoid. The U.S. economy slowed down sharply in the first-quarter (Q1), growing by just 1.6%, a dramatic drop from the 3.4% growth in the

While technology stocks tend to drive the stock market higher, not all tech securities are created equal. Many well-known technology concerns are struggling right now and seeing their stocks sink deeper into the red. Problems plaguing tech companies range from excessive debt levels and poor sales to product misfires and declining market share. Whatever the

For cannabis stock investors, April ended in absolute euphoria. The sector has skyrocketed this week. The rally came on reports that the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) is set to reclassify marijuana’s controlled substance status. Marijuana is currently in Schedule 1, which is the strictest level of regulatory enforcement. This planned reclassification would move marijuana

There’s been a significant divergence in the way in which large-cap stocks have performed versus their small-to-mid cap counterparts. More poignantly, U.S. equities performance is increasingly tied to how larger, well-known companies are doing. The way in which indices like the Nasdaq and S&P500 have risen against the Russell 2000 showcases this. The S&P500 currently

Meme stocks are names that have gained a large following because of activity on social media. Of course, meme stocks’ heyday was back in 2021, and most of the names that went on a tear thanks to their popularity on social media have subsequently crashed. Among these stocks are GameStop (NYSE:GME), AMC (NYSE:AMC) and Ocugen

Even though semiconductors and microchips are such an integral part of the global economy, there are still some chip stocks to avoid. It’s not because of a lack of demand or even customers, considering that nearly every country in the world needs microchips for one reason or another. Rather, the warning signs can be more insidious for retail investors who

Is the market likely to see a reset, similar to the ones after the dot-com bubble in 2000 and the 2008 financial crisis? As with everything in economics, opinions are divided. In this uncertain environment, identifying energy stocks to avoid becomes a critical strategy for investors looking to safeguard their portfolios. What is known is

There are some REITs to avoid in this continued “higher for longer” interest rate environment. These investment vehicles are particularly sensitive to rising interest rates due to their reliance on debt financing. In this economic climate, REITs with high leverage ratios, short-term debt maturities and limited cash flows may struggle to maintain profitability and dividend

There might be better times to invest in EV stocks, and I think now is the time to look for EV stocks to avoid instead. The sector is grappling with a myriad of challenges, with the biggest fishes losing a ton of value of late. With the sector’s bellwethers struggling, the situation for smaller players

The economy continues to give investors mixed signals. Inflation remains at higher-than-average levels — compared to the Federal Reserve’s preferred 2% target. But that hasn’t satiated the demand for airline travel. That doesn’t mean, however, that every airline is a good investment. Poor analyst sentiment suggests there are several airline stocks to avoid.  The last

As an investor, tech stocks have been an appealing choice over the last year as excitement about products such as generative AI pushed the sector higher. But not all are winners. Tech stocks that are not performing well or facing challenges, knowing when to sell can be even more critical. Rather than holding on and

Lucid (NASDAQ:LCID) stock isn’t having a good year so far. Those who bet on the rise of a viable Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) competitor have had their hopes dashed once again. The luxury electric vehicle stock has seen its share price plummet 40.6% as of the end of Tuesday’s trading session. Continued macroeconomic uncertainty and anemic demand

The National recently reported a declining number of listed companies on the U.S., U.K. and European stock markets. Despite record high share prices, the supply of stocks is dwindling due to bankruptcies, private ownership and fewer new listings.
