Stocks to sell

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

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

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

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

In February 2021, at the height of the meme stock phenomenon, Ideanomics (NASDAQ:IDEX) stock traded for as much as $5.53 per share. Today, you can buy IDEX stock for a little more than 25 cents a share, a 95% discount to its multi-year high-water mark. If you’re a risk-hungry investor, this may seem tempting. After

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

In times like this, it’s best to mitigate your losses by identifying stocks to sell and get rid of the biggest losers in your portfolio. Fortunately, the stock market’s horrendous year is almost over. Unfortunately, that’s only because the calendar is nearing the end of 2022, and not because the market is turning around any

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

It’s hard to even know where to begin when detailing the difficulties surrounding Carvana’s (NYSE:CVNA) stock. First of all, the company has legal issues to deal with in Michigan and Pennsylvania. Additionally, the U.S. Federal Reserve will probably continue to raise interest rates. These difficulties should cause prospective investors to think twice about buying CVNA stock. To

After sliding for months, Canoo (NASDAQ:GOEV) stock experienced a brief spike in recent days after this early-stage electric vehicle company reported yet another big vehicle order. But before you dive in on the expectation that the situation for this fledgling EV maker will continue to get better, take a minute. Keep in mind that while the

With this year’s stock market downturn, it may seem too late to figure out which stocks to sell. Yet while major indices are down massively from their all-time highs, and scores of individual stocks have experienced far more severe price declines, many stocks still may have a ways to go before reaching their respective “bottoming

As some of the few travel stocks that have failed to fully recover from the pandemic, plenty of investors have tried to bottom-fish in cruise-line names like Carnival (NYSE:CCL) stock. Unfortunately, these contrarian wagers have failed to pan out. Investors who have dabbled in CCL or its peers haven’t reaped substantial gains. Instead, going against

In recent coverage of SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) stock, I’ve provided two key reasons as to why it’s not worth buying. First, the market is overestimating the impact of its student loan catalyst. Second, taking into account long-term earnings forecasts, a recovery for the fintech firm’s shares at best may only entail a move back to
