Stocks to sell

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.

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

June has witnessed its fair share of analyst stock downgrades, leading investors to approach the market cautiously. Investor sentiment can be as unpredictable as the wind, especially in the fast-paced world of Wall Street. Making investment decisions under such circumstances can feel overwhelming. Stay ahead of the game by staying informed on the latest developments

Hope springs eternal for electric vehicle manufacturer Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:RIVN), but as the old saying goes, hope isn’t a viable investment strategy. Even if Rivian Automotive’s management sees the glass as half-full, the confirmed data doesn’t bode well for RIVN stock in 2023. Speaking of confirmed data, it’s indisputable that Rivian Automotive has been an

Finding overvalued stocks to sell isn’t hard. Investors today have more information than ever, promoting company transparency. However, this also means investors must contextualize this information when investing. Often, a couple of negative headlines don’t alter a company’s investment thesis. Savvy investors know there are many reasons to sell a stock, but emotion should rarely

Growth stocks haven’t had it equal this year, and largely companies who have mentioned “AI” multiple times in their earnings call are on a tear so far. Indeed, the hype behind such AI stocks is eerily similar to the tech bubble that brewed in the early 2000s, but this time with the AI segment. Back

Given the evergreen nature of their business, health insurance stocks offer investors a stable play. However, the rising medical costs are wreaking havoc, creating a minefield of health insurance stocks that could dent your portfolio. For example, UnitedHealth Group (NYSE:UNH), has been ringing alarm bells over escalating costs as Americans make up for delayed surgeries amidst the

Electric vehicle manufacturer Polestar Automotive (NASDAQ:PSNY) might amaze you with its sleek high-performance automobiles. However, PSNY stock certainly hasn’t been a winner for long-term investors.
