Stocks to sell

Investors generally look at a company’s business prospects, its sector, and the general macroeconomic outlook in deciding whether or not to own an investment. That’s with good reason. However, it’d be a mistake to overlook company CEOs, as well. Sometimes, even a business that is seemingly in the right place at the right time will

Disciplined investors who avoid political and country risks would not look at Alibaba (NYSE:BABA). The crackdown on technology companies is hurting the e-commerce giant.

Cloudflare (NYSE:NET), the cloud-based security technology company, produced excellent top-line numbers for Q3.

ContextLogic (NASDAQ:WISH) management characterized weak third-quarter results released on Nov. 10 as ‘progress on its turnaround strategy.’ Source: sdx15 / Shutterstock.com That was wishful thinking to be sure. There doesn’t appear to be anything remotely close to a turnaround occurring. It’s much more a slow slide into irrelevance as value slowly drains out. That’s really

I’ve been trying to convey to investors for a while now that a good company doesn’t necessarily make for a good stock buying opportunity. Network security technology provider CrowdStrike (NASDAQ:CRWD) is a great example of this concept. CRWD stock was a hot commodity in 2020 and the better part of 2021 as retail money flooded

Cloudflare (NYSE:NET) stock was one of scores of growth plays hammered lower by the recent market sell-off.

News of Covid-19’s Omicron variant may have sparked this recent bit of

Throughout the year, there has been a lot of interest around SmileDirectClub (NASDAQ:SDC). Not so much for the tele-dentistry company’s underlying business. Instead, much of the appeal with SDC stock has been with its potential as a short-squeeze play. Source: Helen89 / Shutterstock.com Even after falling by more than 74% over the past 12 months, and

Almost a year ago, GameStop (NYSE:GME) kicked off the Reddit short squeeze trade and countless other stocks, like AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC), have been involved since.

With the selloff in stocks since Thanksgiving, investors may be shopping for bargains on the stock market this holiday season.

Microvision (NASDAQ:MVIS) stock enjoyed an incredible run-up when it was the most obvious pureplay company attempting to commercialize its light detection and ranging (LIDAR) technology.

Remember when Pinterest (NYSE:PINS) caught fire with the euphoria surrounding stay-at-home stocks last year? It joined Zoom Video Communications (NASDAQ:ZM), Teladoc Health (NYSE:TDOC), Peloton Interactive (NASDAQ:PTON), DocuSign (NASDAQ:DOCU), and many others on a rocket ship ride for the ages. If you thought the meteoric rise was eye-popping, you should see this year’s unraveling in PINS

GameStop (NYSE:GME) released its earnings on Dec. 8 for its fiscal Q3 ending Oct. 30 with excellent results.

Don’t be heartened by recent positive news surrounding AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) stock.  Source: QualityHD / Shutterstock.com That’s quite a negative sentiment to hold, but it makes sense.
