Stocks to sell

For investors, knowing when to cut ties with dead-end stock picks is always a challenge. It’s easy to remain idle in the hope that a given weak investment will suddenly turn positive. As Warren Buffett said, “Inactivity strikes us as intelligent behavior.” He meant that holding onto investments in fundamentally strong, profitable firms should be

Over the last decade, numerous electric vehicle (EV) companies have come and not-yet-gone. Some were hyped as Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) killers, while others claimed they’d carve their own niche. Yet many remain highly overvalued and speculative, with too few sales and excessively poor margins to justify their current stock price. The EV stock crash of the

When it comes to investing, not all that glitters is gold. In fact, the shiny overhyped stocks often blind us to the inherent risks in capital markets, trading at prices completely divorced from their fundamentals. Several such stocks faced a reality check last year, with their frothy valuations melting away to more reasonable levels. However,

Exercise caution amid the electric vehicle (EV) hype, as some battery stocks face intense competition and potential price wars. While many project the global EV market will grow significantly, several companies have struggled and experienced stock declines. The market carries significant uncertainty right now. Fears of an impending recession have not gone away, despite increasing

Following the speculative frenzy of 2020 and 2021, numerous penny stocks have lost their gains. Additionally, many former high-performers have also joined their ranks. While some stocks may be oversold and worth considering, most such stocks are not attractive investments despite their low share prices. Investors should exercise caution when considering penny stocks, as they

Investors love blue-chip stocks for their safety and stability. Ideally, they provide strong dividends from well-known firms with strong business models that fare well in market downturns. However, some companies are relying more on past results to hold onto blue-chip status than anything they are doing today. With these blue-chip stocks to avoid or sell,

Cryptocurrency markets have almost aligned with the stock market, making the correlation between the two quite strong. It’s safe to say crypto is here to stay. Despite it being alive and well, garbage cryptocurrencies are abundant. The pandemic gave rise to hundreds and thousands of cryptocurrency projects. However, that was a different time. Quantitative easing

In early April, prominent Wall St analysts predicted that oil prices could go beyond $100 per barrel as OPEC+ cut output while demand was supposed to surge due to China’s reopening. However, this prediction has failed to come to fruition, as oil prices have barely budged beyond $70 a barrel, down from over $80 in April. This was

Penny stocks are known for their low price, which can make them highly sensitive to any bit of news surrounding the stock. One thing that investors frequently look for when considering which penny stocks to sell is to look at investor sentiment. Specifically, are insiders selling the stock.   One motto of Peter Lynch, the

Defying skeptics, i.e., the bears and the lion’s share of economists, the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite was up a huge 29% so far in 2023 as of the afternoon of June 27. But this is not the second half of 2020. In other words, the vast majority of tech stocks aren’t soaring. Instead, this is a true “stock-picker’s

Selling stocks short is a practice that’s once again facing criticism, and a potential ban, following the collapse of multiple regional banks earlier in the year. Short selling is a risky practice where investors borrow shares, sell said shares (expecting their price to fall), then later buying these shares at a discount and pocket the

The stock market has enjoyed a surprising rally to start 2023. The Nasdaq Composite is up by almost 30% year-to-date; many stocks have jumped alongside it. While this price movement has rewarded long-term investors, it has resulted in many overvalued growth stocks.  Holding onto reliable stocks can yield long-term returns, but investors endure weeks and months

Amidst the tumultuous financial markets, one can’t help but cast a wary eye on troubled businesses. These firms are making headlines for all the wrong reasons, keeping investors up at night and questioning their investment decisions. Despite their best attempts at damage control, leaving a lasting impression of unease. This has led to the rise

QuantumScape (NASDAQ:QS) is a battery start-up which has seen extreme volatility in recent years. A play on solid-state battery technology, QuantumScape provides investors with a much more speculative potential earnings curve than its EV peers. In the previous bull market rally, QuantumScape achieved a remarkable $54 billion valuation. This valuation was driven by its solid-state

Given the riskier and more speculative nature of small-cap stocks, if you own a stock in this category, it’s important to keep an eye out for signs that said name has become one of the small-cap stocks to sell. A key warning sign to look out for is insider selling. That is the selling of

China-based electric vehicle manufacturer Nio (NYSE:NIO) is finally waking up to the idea that vehicle price cuts could be a winning strategy. Nio’s management doesn’t seem to think that battery swapping should be a free service. Nio’s pricing policy changes shouldn’t inspire confidence in NIO stock traders. I don’t always agree with analysts. However, I agree

With oil prices hovering around $70 and some analysts believing they could go as high as $100. Therefore, it may seem like a waste of time to think about high-risk oil stocks. However, there will come a day – perhaps later than 2050 – when the only place you’ll find an internal combustion engine vehicle is

The US is seeing a surge in cannabis legalization, with 39 states allowing medical use and 21 states permitting recreational use. Despite this, the cannabis industry has been grappling with economic and industry challenges, such as oversupply and inflation, which have created a tough environment for the industry in 2022 and beyond. As such, it

Based on the latest news with Nio (NYSE:NIO), apparently it’s not just retail speculators that are bullish on NIO stock. As announced this week, CYVN Holdings, an investment vehicle majority-owned by the Government of Abu Dhabi, is becoming a major investor in the China-based electric vehicle company. I believe this big investor is making a

After suffering from staggering losses, investors of electric vehicle manufacturer Mullen Automotive (NASDAQ:MULN) should catch a break eventually – right? Don’t make any assumptions, as MULN stock could easily continue to lose value in 2023. This is likely to happen despite Mullen Automotive’s attempt to reassure its shareholders. We’ve done our best to try to
