Stocks to sell

Perhaps the most dominant narrative in stock market circles is the Federal Reserve’s potential moves to slash interest rates.

I have historically been very bearish on GameStop (NYSE:GME), mainly due to key fundamental factors. The company continues to see revenue deterioration and the ultimate impact of online competition should render its business model obsolete over the very long term. That is why there is so much short interest in this name. However, GME stock

The downgraded stocks continue to trade near record highs despite the recent pressure from rising bond yields. Investors were digesting the U.S. Commerce Department’s report last week, which indicated that the U.S. economy’s first-quarter growth was slower than initially estimated.  The revised figures showed an annualized growth rate of 1.3%, a drop from the advance

It is better to clear out stocks with empty potential to make room for companies that have proven their worth in 2024.  While these three stocks have upsides, there is doubt about their continued performance and whether or not their potential outweighs their current challenges and valuations. After seeing what the rest of 2024 will

The global demand for chips has continued to increase in recent years, making the semiconductor industry one of the most attractive investment sectors in the stock market.

Among the thousands of names in “penny stock territory” (stocks trading for $5 per share or less), there may be a handful where the potential rewards outweigh high volatility and risk. However, against this small group of strong opportunities are scores and scores of penny stocks to avoid. Interestingly, many of the top names you

Investing in meme stocks is speculative and risky, and with meme stocks tumbling, now is the time to look for meme stocks to sell. With little more than internet discussion board chatter to go on, meme stocks are the stock market’s equivalent of the Wild West. All it took was one post from Roaring Kitty

Curious about my chances of being replaced by an artificial intelligence chatbot, I went ahead and asked ChatGPT 3.5, Microsoft Copilot, and Google Gemini to give me examples of stocks with poor ratings or sell signals. Both Gemini and ChatGPT gave me non-answers, explaining that I should do my research and what common pitfalls to

Stocks decline for any number of reasons. It’s impossible to predict those declines all the time but relatively easy most of the time. Avoid investing in stocks that represent weak companies. Anytime a business’s prospects are weak, the stock should also be weak. That’s obvious advice but advice that has proven unreliable of late. Special

The sluggishness in retail sales signals it’s time to assess retail stocks to sell.U.S. retail figures came in flat last month compared to March, significantly behind analyst estimates. Moreover, retail sales, excluding automobiles and fuel, dipped 0.1%, while a notable 1.2% decline in online sales pointed to a pullback in consumer activity. This worrying trend

It’s too bad for AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) bulls that investors can’t live in a bubble. If they could, they would lock in the 45% gain for AMC stock over the past month. Sadly, we don’t live in a bubble, and AMC stock isn’t a five-star investment. It’s the exact opposite. It’s a dud, but not

While macro-related issues are a factor, it’s company-specific issues that play a more significant role in causing shares from top companies to become blue-chip stocks to sell. Some company-specific issues can be out of management’s control. However, many of these types of issues stem from poor decisions by a company’s C-suite. For instance, management teams

Thus, this scenario pushes investors to take on more risk in the equity market. However, to avoid catching a falling knife,

The economy faces uncertainty due to decreased consumer spending and a slowing job market. The impact of raising interest rates 11 times from 2022 to 2023 is seen through consumer spending, which saw 0% growth from March to April and a 0.1% decrease when excluding gas and vehicle sales. These statistics don’t account for inflation,

Hypergrowth stocks have tremendous allure. Investing in just one company like Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) or Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) in its early days can lead to life-changing returns. But for every Nvidia, there are countless other companies that appeared to have tremendous prospects but were unable to turn that potential into reality. That’s been particularly true in recent

As May unfolds, not all stock market segments are flourishing, with the electric vehicle sector looking particularly vulnerable. Certain EV stocks are displaying troubling signs amid general enthusiasm for green technology. Tesla has had a particularly rough start to the year, with its stock price plummeting by 28% in 2024. Similarly, other EV manufacturers like

A couple of weeks ago, there was significant activity (particularly in media coverage) regarding the seeming resurgence of meme stocks. The classics of the meme mania, AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) and GameStop (NYSE:GME), rocketed higher. However, nearly as quickly as excitement for meme stocks regained momentum, the fervor seems to be fading again. Yet this does

The latest Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) minutes outlined delayed interest rate cuts. These are an effort to clamp down on inflation, noting “fewer cuts this year than previously thought.” This translates to elevated borrowing costs and increased living costs, a fertile ground for reduced profit margins. In such an economic climate, identifying stocks to
