Stocks to sell

Since November, excitement about lower interest rates has boosted interest-rate-sensitive stocks like real estate investment trusts (or REITs). However, as rate cut enthusiasm cools, now may be the time to determine what REITs to sell. Yes, it’s not as if lower interest rates in 2024 are no longer on the table. A recent statement from

Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) has been a penny stock for months, but LCID stock initially appeared to have found a floor within the upper range of “penny stock territory” (between $4 and $5 per share). Shares in this EV manufacturer have plummeted in the past month. The stock has fallen 44.5% in a month, from $4.75

Quantum computing is seen as the next stage of computing and IonQ (NASDAQ:IONQ) rode that wave to huge gains in 2023. But the reality of where the market is at in its life cycle is bringing shares down to earth. This will have important implications for IONQ stock moving forward. After surging 259% last year

The metaverse has been a hot topic for several years now. Ever since Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerburg renamed his company to Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META), investors have taken this concept seriously. We’ve seen Super Bowl ads and all sorts of other mainstream attention for the metaverse concept. Unfortunately for some, this has led to

The payments-processing space has become increasingly crowded in the 2020s. Along with that, PayPal (NASDAQ:PYPL) has the additional challenge of transitioning a new CEO and a new chief financial officer (CFO) into those roles at the company. Thus, I view PYPL stock as a “sell” as PayPal’s comeback is far from assured. And, if it happens at all, might

C3.ai (NYSE:AI) stock last year became one of the more popular AI plays out there. Compared to other top AI stocks, C3.ai is a considerably smaller enterprise. The stock has a market cap of just $3 billion, and this year the company should generate just $305.5 million in revenue. At the same time, this enterprise

Coinbase (COIN-USD) has become the leading U.S. exchange by trading volume. Over the past 12 months, COIN stock has rebounded by an astonishing 175%. The bullish outlook for 2024 relies on Bitcoin (BTC-USD) surpassing previous highs, with other leading tokens following. Rising crypto prices drive trading volumes, the main source of Coinbase’s revenue and earnings.

Solid-state battery maker QuantumScape (NYSE:QS) is living on borrowed time. It may be time to pitch QS stock. The prototype electric vehicle battery exceeds expectations in testing but is far from being ready for commercial use. The delays are causing concern for QuantumScape’s major partner and potential customer. Over the past few years, Volkswagen (OTCMKTS:VWAGY)

Artificial intelligence is expected to perform many types of jobs that humans currently do. In most cases, that change will greatly help companies since computers are much cheaper to train and maintain than human employees. But what about the firms that currently provide the services that AI will carry out? In the future, instead of

Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) stock has fallen to an all-time low, under $3. Being many times below its IPO price and being almost 95% below its all-time highs, early investors have been brutally hurt.  Though I love hunting down fallen stocks to capitalize on their value, LCID stock is still ridiculously overvalued even at its current

Investing in high-yield dividend stocks is one of the best ways to accumulate wealth to fund your retirement. For the better part of a century, dividend-paying companies have far outperformed non-payers with less risk. However, not all dividend stocks are created equal. Investors ignore the warning signs they sometimes give off at their peril. Even

Cryptocurrency and the blockchain are headline-news topics now. Consequently, you may be tempted to load up on Marathon Digital (NASDAQ:MARA). Yet, just because the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved 11 spot Bitcoin (BTC-USD) exchange-traded funds (ETFs), this doesn’t mean you should make a hasty trade with MARA stock. At the very least, consider Marathon Digital’s risks

Wall Street seems to have determined that Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) will be more hurt than helped by the new Bitcoin (CCC:BTC) spot ETFs. Meanwhile, COIN’s valuation remains extremely high, and the potentially ruinous lawsuit against the firm by the Securities and Exchange Commission will soon be prominent in investors’ minds. Most law-abiding COIN users will probably

Palantir Technologies (NYSE:PLTR) stock has pulled back since December and appears range-bound. However, this may be a calm before the storm, ahead of the next big move. Shares may surge when the company announces earnings next month, similar to the surge after the last quarterly release. Yet while this suggests now is not the time

The oil market has been on a roller coaster ride in the past few years, with prices fluctuating wildly due to various factors like pent-up travel demand post-COVID and geopolitical tensions between Western nations and Russia. Brent crude prices are now sitting around $78/bbl, well below where it was in mid-September 2023, above $90/bbl. For

It might be tempting to back up the truck and buy Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) stock because you heard about the approval of spot Bitcoin (BTC-USD) exchange-traded funds. However, I’m offering an unpopular opinion today. COIN stock could quickly retrace much of its rally from last year’s fourth quarter, so this is no time to make any hasty trades. Just

One secret to making money in the markets is to keep holding winners and exit the losers as soon as a red flag appears. Investors need to keep aside biases and ego if the target is to make wealth from the markets. I have seen individuals averaging down and ultimately exiting with a big loss.

The work-from-home (WFH) phenomenon has faded tremendously, as many companies, large and small, are ordering their employees to spend at least a few days per week in the office. For example, JPMorgan (NYSE:JPM), Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) and video game maker Activision Blizzard (NASDAQ:ATVI) are among the huge companies ending or greatly curtailing WFH privileges. As a

Following last year’s big rally, the stock market is off to a slow start in 2024. After two weeks the S&P 500 index is essentially flat. That’s not enough time to make a trend and many stocks have still been sitting on large gains for the past 12 months. But not all stocks enjoyed the bullish run-up.

The combination of higher prices, lower quality and smaller packaging in recent years has made consumer stocks and their shareholders a lot of money.  However, if Fortune‘s recent reporting of events unfolding in Europe is any indication, these companies are about to receive some karma for their greediness. Skimpflation is “a reduction in the quality
