Stocks to sell

Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) stock was down by an eye-watering 29% over the last five days. Apparently, financial traders weren’t pleased with the company’s sizable spending plans for fiscal 2023. It also didn’t help that Meta Platforms indicated higher spending as well as lower revenue and income during 2022’s third quarter. None of this bodes well

It’s time to reconsider strategies and identify growth stocks to sell. For many years, growth stocks were the key to building a top-performing portfolio. Investing in profitable growth stocks meant oversized returns and was a winning strategy. But with the market sagging through all of 2022, all of that has changed. Put simply, a growth

With fears of a global recession rising, it’s probably best to consider targeting certain Nasdaq stocks to sell. Though the underlying technology-centric exchange brings several innovators to the table, many of these ideas don’t align with traditional strengths. In particular, some publicly traded companies feature the worst of both worlds: high risk and overvalued. Since

There’s a good deal of trucking stocks to sell. To be clear, the market ideas on this list do not necessarily represent flawed strategies or operations. Rather, investors must deal with certain realities that disproportionately impact certain sectors over others. Fundamentally, the nature of trucking stocks to sell centers largely (if not mostly) on the

Elections are often bad for markets. They create uncertainty. Government policy impacts the economy. Uncertain government policy implies an uncertain economic direction. Markets hate uncertainty. There’s even more uncertainty this year, given the wide divergence between the parties, and their voters. What might happen under a Republican Congress is different from what might happen under

Elections can be bad for investors. They create uncertainty. Government policy impacts the economy, and uncertain government policy implies an uncertain economic direction. Markets hate uncertainty, so investors are keeping an eye out for stocks to avoid ahead of election day. There’s more uncertainty this year given the wide differences between the parties and their

While high-yielding dividend stocks may provide the security investors want at this time, many of them could be dividend traps. These stocks come with high yields that are unlikely to be sustainable over the long term.There could also be a situation where a company may be paying more dividends than its net income. Though such

Prior to some lackluster earnings reports from big-tech names, the Nasdaq rallied as much as 11% from its 52-week low, made two weeks ago. This had some investors thinking the risk-on trade was back and it was time to go in search of high-growth tech stocks to buy. Yet, given the recent earnings disappointments and

It has been a rough year for investors, with the S&P 500 index posting incredible losses not seen in some time. As stocks continue to hover in this fragile market, investors must consider which assets are most valuable in their portfolios. Penny stocks are likely to get the axe, given the massive volatility in the

Telecom stocks have taken a hit over the past few years. Most companies in the space have been struggling under the weight of their massive debt loads as they upgrade their infrastructure to support 5G. With the stock market expected to drop even further from current levels, it’s probably the right time to reassess your

What a year 2022 has been for the stock market. The S&P 500 is down 23.1%, the Dow Jones is off more than 16.5%, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq, 32%. So, by and large, we’re already deep into a painful downturn, with investors looking for stocks to sell, rather than buy, right now. September inflation numbers

As anyone who reads my columns regularly knows, I’m generally upbeat on stocks. That’s because I believe that inflation has peaked, the Federal Reserve is poised to become much more dovish.  In addition, the Street has, for some time, underestimated the importance of the exceptionally strong employment market. However, I believe that there are some

With a good deal of problems facing the domestic and global economies, it’s time to consider these top retail stocks to sell. Fundamentally, one of the biggest drivers of this cautionary take centers on the Federal Reserve. When the coronavirus pandemic struck, the Fed expanded the size of its balance sheet through bond buybacks. Logically,

One of the key indicators investors are looking at these days when deciding where to invest their money is layoffs. The strategy, referred to as a layoff watch, is quietly gaining a niche-following in investing circles. With this strategy, analyze companies that have announced layoffs to understand if it is better to enter or exit

Now is the time to consider dividend stocks to sell. Income investors who counted on yield alone thrived up until earlier this year. Since then, the Federal Reserve has realized it was behind the curve. Inflation, as measured by the consumer price index, rose uncontrollably. Thus, the central bank appears intent on increasing interest rates

I’m generally the positive type. Still, as I look at the market, the math isn’t on my side. Inflation remains near 40-year highs and yet employment also remains at historically high levels. As a result, the Fed will keep raising interest rates.  So it’s time to think about finding stocks to sell for profits. Here’s

As we start to think about wrapping up 2022, looking to next year and thinking about what the market will provide is exciting. Indeed, this year has been one in which simplifying and de-risking portfolios has been a profitable task. Accordingly, the search for stocks to sell is about as important as the search for

On the surface, there’s a lot to like about CareDX (NASDAQ:CDNA) stock. It’s a company that’s based on a concept you might find intriguing” transplant diagnostics. However, getting from concept to execution, and then profitability, is a different story entirely. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but CDNA stock gets a “D” rating because

This has been a rough year for stocks. Every time the market has tried to bounce, some fresh news has come out, triggering another selloff. With inflation still running hot and the Federal Reserve set for more rate hikes, investors need to be cautious. That said, with the market down this far, there are some

As the bear market rages on, many investors have turned to blue-chip stocks to find safe harbor. Yet, while many blue-chips could add stability and safety to your portfolio (making them stocks to buy), there are plenty of such companies that are best-considered stocks to sell. This is mostly due to valuation concerns. Prior to
