Stocks to sell

There’s no denying that Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) is a massive beneficiary of the artificial intelligence boom. With the potential to accelerate productivity, companies across industries have jumped aboard the AI bandwagon. Still, few seem to appreciate what’s under the sector’s hood. For this, I am getting skeptical and have a bearish outlook on AMD

As the stock market evolves, the era of meme stocks seems to be a thing of the past. Popular meme stocks such as AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) and Ocugen (NASDAQ:OCGN) have tanked in value, shedding most of their gains during the retail trading frenzy. Moreover, the Federal Reserve’s cautious stance on cutting interest rates, and prioritizing

SoFi’s (NASDAQ:SOFI) fourth-quarter results, announced on Jan. 31, were quite impressive, as they showed that the fintech firm is growing quite rapidly and has managed to effectively monetize its popularity among millenials and Generation Z. The fintech’s profitability, however, remains low, while the valuation of SOFI stock is still quite elevated. This is a key

Earnings season is still underway, and companies like Rivian (NASDAQ:RIVN) may not be getting the attention they deserve. Indeed, following the incredible results put forward by tech giants such as Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), the bar has clearly been raised across the board. In the EV sector, investors want to see outsized growth, with each earnings report

Some direct-to-consumer (DTC) brands have been under pressure from rising costs, supply chain disruptions, and increased competition. In the United States and globally, for that matter, interest rates are currently elevated. The effective federal funds rate is around 5.33%, and with inflation accelerating more than analysts predicted in January, the U.S. Federal Reserve does not seem

There are winners and losers in most things, be it a baseball game, a political campaign or the stock market. As some stocks go up, others go down. Identifying which stocks to sell and knowing when to pull the trigger is a key factor to being a successful investor. And while it’s difficult to give

QuantumScape (NYSE:QS) may be on the way to breakthroughs in 2024, but it’s a long climb before reaching profits and significant revenues. Investors need to tiptoe towards QS, especially those who are risk-tolerant speculators. This is a key part of this QS stock analysis. Grey clouds are overhead because of the company’s financial situation, even with

Many electric vehicle stocks rallied in 2020 and 2021 as investors got excited about the industry gaining market share. While some stocks appreciated due to strong financials, other EV stocks soared just because they had something to do with electric vehicles. This has led to some overvalued EV stocks that you should probably drop soon.

Real estate boom-and-bust cycles are repetitive, and I’m afraid that we look set for another. What’s my premise? Well, the interest-rate cycle has topped out, and the U.S. Treasury yield curve is inverted, which usually means an economic slowdown is set to occur. Moreover, commercial real estate prices are on a steep decline while mortgage rates remain exorbitant. Real Estate Investment

Stock markets are soaring. With positive vibes in the air, traders are giving penny stocks a second look in hopes of locking in some quick gains during this major bull market run. However, folks should still proceed with caution. Most penny stocks end up with low share prices due to some major structural problem with

Retail stocks continue to underperform. Year to date (YTD), the S&P Retail Select Industry Index is up 0.35% compared to a 7% gain in the benchmark S&P 500 index. Over the past 12 months, the S&P retail index has risen 7% versus a 27% increase in the S&P 500. The main reason for the poor

Though small-cap stocks tend to outperform large-caps as a collective investment class, that truism hides a key risk when investing in small-cap stocks. There’s little barrier to entry, practically speaking, to public listing (and the few barriers are easily avoided, as in the case of SPAC mergers). This means that companies with limited prospects or

Social media stocks can come and go just as fast as the memes their platforms support. While the early days of social media stocks provided potential for huge growth akin to the dot-com bubble, many of these publicly traded companies are now faltering thanks to expanded regulatory action, increased competition and dwindling customer demand. The

While the rest of the stock market endured a bear mauling in 2022, energy sectors became the best-performing asset class that year. My how things have changed. Today, oil prices are hovering around $80 a barrel and energy producers are marking down their profits. At the same time, concerns about slumping demand and the global

As you may recall from my past coverage of Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:RIVN), I’ve been bearish about this early-stage electric vehicle stock. However, following the EV maker’s latest quarterly earnings release, my RIVN stock analysis has become even more downbeat. Why? Admittedly, Rivian remains in a much better position than other high-profile EV upstarts. For instance,

In 2023, cryptocurrencies saw remarkable growth, with Bitcoin (BTC-USD) and Ethereum (ETH-USD) surging more than 155% and 90%, respectively. Several top 100 tokens surged up to 9600%, with many of the most prominent layer-1 blockchains seeing impressive upside (and I’ll get to those shortly). Despite the staggering gains in many top cryptocurrencies, risks abound. We

A dozen years ago, Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) CEO Mark Zuckerberg made business history by betting Facebook on open source clouds, and META stock benefitted. Facebook was just coming public, its market cap an “astounding” $104 billion. It had revenue of $3.71 billion the year before but just $1 billion in operating cash flow. The cost

With the stock market reaching new record highs, the list of stocks to sell grows. Driven in part by expectations around artificial intelligence (AI) developments, several companies have become significantly overextended relative to their underlying financial performance. While broader economic and monetary conditions support ongoing gains across indices, not all firms will be wise long-term

If you invest in the stock market long enough, you will get burned by a position. The investment thesis can change over time and cracks can appear in a growth narrative. Investors can choose from many stocks, but it is important to assess which companies offer reasonable margins of safety and promising long-term prospects. Some

The EV sector is full of excellent and innovative companies, but Nio (NYSE:NIO) is one of the only large-cap players that’s provided investors with the jitters. Indeed, Nio was recently put into the S&P 500’s list of underperforming stocks, given the stock’s steep decline in January. This is the start of this NIO stock analysis.
