Stocks to sell

It has been a rough past couple of years for Tilray Brands (NASDAQ:TLRY), but more recently, things have started to look up for TLRY stock. Last month, shares in the Canada-based cannabis company began to rally again, on the heels of a well-received quarterly earnings release. Last week, shares spiked in price yet again, except

Investors seeking defensive exposure in this market may turn their attention to mining socks. These companies, involved in locating, extracting, and processing valuable minerals vital for global industries, play an essential role as a growth engine for the global economy. Without various important base metals, entire industries wouldn’t be possible. Indeed, these companies may be

As much as I love good dividend stocks, I have very little patience for F-rated dividend stocks that do nothing but drag your portfolio down. As an investor, you deserve better! A great dividend stock can make all the difference in your portfolio. By reinvesting dividends, growth investors can increase their positions and investing power

By no means is this discussion about meme stocks to sell an indication that you should avoid the sector altogether. Sometimes, it’s good to just have fun (responsibly, of course) in the market. Ultimately, you never know if that wild contrarian wager might turn into something substantive. That, of course, is the main temptation of

The U.S. equity valuations continue their remarkable trend upward, well beyond anyone’s expectations in 2023. The major indices appreciated amid expectations of a soft landing for the economy as the Federal Reserve battles inflation. While inflation still sits above the Federal Reserve’s target, it is well below where it was 12 months ago. However, despite

For a hot minute, Wall Street loved electric vehicle (EV) battery technology company QuantumScape (NYSE:QS). Then, financial traders turned against the company and QS stock quickly coughed up its gains. Frankly, it’s just too risky to invest in QuantumScape now. Don’t get the wrong idea. The investing community is fickle, and any stock is susceptible

With pharmaceutical companies, it’s all about the pipeline of new medications. Drugmakers, and their pharma stocks, are judged based on sales of current medications and potential sales of future prescriptions. Analysts and investors alike are always on the lookout for the next blockbuster drug. This helps to explain why the stocks of pharmaceutical companies with

It’s the height of summer vacation season, and the stock market is taking a breather after its major rally earlier in the year. For active traders, much of the excitement has moved to penny stocks, with many low-priced equities making huge moves in recent weeks. Investors should avoid the urge to go plunging too aggressively

Although speculative enterprises tend to draw in a loyal band of followers, certain circumstances call for decisive action, as these small-cap stocks to avoid in August confirms. Nobody wants to be the guy or gal throwing in the towel. However, you can’t ignore clear signs of trouble. Certainly, just because warning signs pop up doesn’t mean

Investing in growth stocks can be risky, especially for those migrating into new markets or turnaround ventures. Personally, I’ve experienced losses from such endeavors. Amid rising interest rates, caution is advised for overpriced growth stocks. Despite recent declines, their valuations remain risky. Two factors contribute to their potential downfall: further interest rate hikes and underwhelming

With hopes for lower interest rates and normalizing economic conditions, real estate investment trusts (REITs) have been moving higher. However, as macro uncertainties mount, there are now plenty of REITs to avoid in August. After all, REITs are highly sensitive to interest rates (rising when rates fall, sinking when rates rise). Plus, if it turns

It’s been a difficult year for many investors to digest. Despite higher interest rates, the economy looks strong, with employment figures continuing to remain robust. In fact, unemployment levels are near historic lows, suggesting the bear market that took place last year perhaps shouldn’t have happened. That said, there are clear reasons for investors to

The retail space can be unpredictable even at the best of times, so these retail stocks are definitely ones to avoid in the current environment. Debt levels have grown to uncomfortable levels for many of the sector’s players, and with rates rising and consumers tightening their purse strings, many retailers are between a rock and

By now, you’ve likely heard about ongoing strikes affecting entertainment stocks. After actors joined the writer picket lines, most entertainment stocks fell sharply. The fallout was broad, affecting legacy media franchises and streaming platforms alike. But continuing strikes aren’t all that’s suppressing entertainment stocks, and the future is bleak for legacy companies reliant on cable

A lot of people on Wall Street are bullish on energy right now, with investment bank Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) recently forecasting that the price of Brent crude oil, the international benchmark, will be at $86 a barrel by year’s end. But not so fast. In mid-July, the International Energy Agency (IEA) lowered its global oil

Cybersecurity is one of the fastest growing subsectors within the broader technology sector. But just like any sector there are cybersecurity stocks to buy and cybersecurity stocks to avoid.   Even before the global pandemic, enterprise companies already understood that protecting their businesses from cyberattacks was a need. Since 2020, many of these same companies

The world is moving toward a greener future. Many countries are implementing policies such as net zero emissions targets or upcoming bans on the sale of gasoline-powered vehicles. The future is bright, as a whole, for renewable energy stocks. But there are many firms in the space that will fail to capitalize on this societal

The EV market has evolved, and Lucid Group’s (NASDAQ:LCID) stock performance no longer relies solely on hype. However, recent data indicates that Lucid hasn’t met expectations. With strong competition in the EV industry and what I’d suggest is only a “D” grade in stock performance, investors might find better opportunities elsewhere. The EV stock faces

With the new bull market taking a storm, now might be a good time to consider tech stocks to sell. 2022 was a rough year for investors, as the global economy battled with high inflation and rising interest rates. The stock market fell more than 20%, and small to large-cap tech stocks saw some of their largest

As the market heads into the dog days of summer, investors may be putting their portfolios on autopilot and waiting to get direction in the Fall. That may be fine for some stocks. But if you own basic materials stocks, you should take one more look before holding through the summer. While there are some
