The video game industry has had a roller coaster year in 2022. After posting record-breaking sales during the pandemic’s peak, the economic reopening caused the gaming market to take a sharp downturn.

Back on Dec. 17, I argued why there was more disappointment ahead for Nio (NYSE:NIO). This additional disappointment has arrived quite quickly for NIO stock. Just ten days later, on Dec. 27, the China-based electric vehicle maker cut its delivery outlook for the current fiscal quarter (ending December). That’s not all. According to Bloomberg, NIO’s
If you are an investor looking for stocks to sell before a recession next year, you’ll most likely be hitting the mark.

After a rough year, there are plenty of tech stocks to sell. Unfortunately, investors now know that inflation is persistent. Nearly all central banks around the world raised interest rates. Some fintech firms already showed signs of strain. And most are simply not prepared for the monetary tightening that could persist. Plus, there’s now a
San Francisco-based ContextLogic (NASDAQ:WISH) is a company that ships out cheap products to consumers top purchase on the Wish.com platform. WISH stock has lost so much value that bargain hunters might be tempted to buy some shares.

As we enter the new year, it’s time to go through your portfolio and discover which meme stocks to sell. In many ways, I believe that 2022 can be viewed as the year of “the baby and the bathwater” for U.S. stocks. By that, I mean, of course, that both horrible, overvalued stocks and good

After months of relatively little news, early-stage electric vehicle battery Quantumscape (NYSE:QS) is again making headlines. However, far from giving shares a jolt in the arm, this latest news has only had a short-lived positive impact on the price of QS stock. After briefly spiking on the news it would ship prototypes, shares have given

The Financial Times published an article in mid-December discussing how to pay executives in the age of stakeholder capitalism. It pointed out that Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) CEO Andy Jassy earned nearly $213 million, 6,474
It seems like yesterday that environmentally friendly fuel-cell systems provider FuelCell Energy (NASDAQ:FCEL) was all the rage on Wall Street. Lately, however, FCEL stock has been a money loser for investors. It’s sensible to check FuelCell Energy’s financials carefully – and considering the unfavorable value proposition of the shares now, it’s hard to give them anything
Last Wednesday, we finally got the announcement: Elon Musk had sold another $3.6 billion of Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) stock earlier in the week. (SEC filings tend to lag several days behind transactions). Such a sale had been months in the making. Not only did Mr. Musk likely overpay for his Twitter acquisition. A series of unforced
Although a new year tends to bring feelings of optimism, when it comes to the current market dynamics, it’s time to consider hot stocks to book profits in before 2023 arrives. At first, circumstances appeared favorable, with CNN reporting on Dec. 13 that inflation cooled more than expected. However, by the following day, the Federal
At the start of December, Nio (NYSE:NIO) stock appeared to be on the verge of getting out of its extended slump. As you may know, at the time shares in the China-based electric vehicle maker were rallying, following the release of strong vehicle delivery data, and news of China easing on its ‘zero Covid’ restrictions.
If you’re looking for consumer discretionary stocks to sell, VF Corp. (NYSE:VFC) shareholders might want to reconsider their positions. CEO Steve Rendle stepped down as CEO of the apparel conglomerate on Dec. 5.

Since the Gamestop (NYSE:GME) short squeeze shook the investing world in 2021, investors have been focused on finding the next meme stock. It’s been a long, hard search with no clear end.

Is it always a good thing when a company’s management is ultra-confident? Not necessarily, when it comes to Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) stock. Some traders and analysts aren’t fully convinced that the chipmaker can recover its lost ground in 2023. Before jumping into the trade, take a serious look at Intel’s headwinds and consider sitting on the sidelines
Just a year ago, Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:RIVN) stock was flying high. Trading for more than $100 per share, RIVN was considered one of the most promising vehicle electrification plays out there.

Google parent Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG,NASDAQ:GOOGL) now has yet another headwind on its plate. At least, that’s the takeaway from recent headlines about GOOG stock. The financial and tech worlds are buzzing about a possible “disruptor” of the tech giant’s core search advertising business. In my view, much of this talk of “disruption” and a possible “game
QuantumScape (NYSE:QS) develops solid-state lithium-metal batteries for electric vehicles (EVs). Someday, QS stock might be worthy of a small-scale investment. For now, though, it’s a no-go because QuantumScape’s grand vision is much bigger than the company’s current capital position can accommodate. QuantumScape was a darling of the retail trading crowd in the wake of the
