Stocks to sell

Meme stocks burst onto the investment scene, notably when GameStop (NYSE:GME) launched to astronomical heights in 2021, leaving both seasoned investors and short sellers dumbfounded. Yet, this meteoric rise was a double-edged sword, spotlighting potential meme stocks to sell.

There are many great opportunities in “penny stock territory,” but there are far more stocks trading for $5 per share or less that are best classified as penny stocks to sell. Most of the names that belong in the penny stock “sell” pile are speculative growth stories. Former high-fliers valued on future potential rather than current

Sometimes, I’ll root for an underdog. However, I just can’t get behind electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) in 2023. LCID stock has been a poor performer and could easily continue to lose value this year. I’m not the only commentator who’s concerned about Lucid Group’s future prospects. As we’ll see, at least one expert

Consumer discretionary stocks largely rely on the whim of the consumer. After all, the name of the segment says it all. These stocks are attached to companies that sell products that consumers really don’t need. They have to want to make a purchase.

On the surface, Verizon Communications (NYSE:VZ) may seem like an appealing buy for value investors. VZ stock trades at a very low price-to-earnings ratio, with a forward earnings multiple of only 7.2.

The stock market has been on a roller coaster ride in 2023, with the S&P 500 experiencing several sharp swings in both directions. As of early this week, the benchmark index was up 16.9% year-to-date (YTD) but down 2.6% from its annual high in July. The main drivers of the market volatility have been inflation,

Is the era of meme-stock rallies finally over? Probably not, but we may be witnessing a last gasp as AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) stock tumbles to alarming lows.

There are unfortunately several F-rated REITs to sell from which you need to steer clear. REITs are popular with income investors because they have a structure that’s

Palantir (NYSE:PLTR) is a standout in this year’s AI-driven rally, gaining nearly 150% on a year-to-date basis thanks to strong earnings and elevated expectations. The launch of ChatGPT in November 2022 boosted AI stocks, leading many companies to discuss their AI efforts on earnings calls. Palantir stock also saw a surge in its stock price after

As many remember, both in their minds and pockets, Brent crude prices reached a decade-high last year, impacting oil prices globally. In 2023, global crude prices thankfully moderated in the first half. But with both Saudi Arabia and Russia extending their oil production cuts until the end of the year and U.S. oil reserve figures

Metaverse stocks emerged with a bang a couple of years ago. In fact, Mark Zuckerberg even changed the name of his social media company to Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META), cementing the idea that the metaverse would be the destination of the future. And yet, there’s little sign of much follow-through on the concept today. So far,

U.S. equities markets have had a decent albeit volatile year thus far, as inflation, interest rates, and geopolitical tensions have, at one time or another, weighed on investor sentiment. Let’s have a look at the numbers. Towards the end of July, the S&P 500 index had reached peak annual performance, at one point returning 19.5%.

In the dynamic world of stock trading, there’s no denying the importance of knowing which stocks billionaires are selling.

QuantumScape (NYSE:QS) is a speculative growth stock, but this categorization isn’t what makes QS stock a questionable investment opportunity. You know the saying: nothing ventured, nothing gained. If the odds are in your favor, taking calculated risks in early-stage stocks with a high degree of uncertainty can be a profitable strategy. The issue with this

Previously, we gave EVgo (NASDAQ:EVGO) stock a “D” grade along with a warning for prospective shareholders. Now, even as we uncover more information and developments, we still can’t enthusiastically recommend investing in EVgo.

It’s almost impossible to time the markets, but history tends to rhyme. The best strategy is to sell in times of euphoria and buy when fear is the dominant sentiment. The market correction in 2022 translated into a big correction for growth stocks. The tables have turned in 2023 with several growth stocks skyrocketing. I

In a battle of the overpaid CEOs, Elon Musk recently made fun of Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) CEO Peter Rawlinson for hauling in $379 million in 2022. Most of that was from options and stock awards vested during the year.  As the Automotive News points out, you won’t be able to detect the superb pay from

Sometimes, even the most promising growth stories can have unfortunate endings. China-based electric vehicle manufacturer Nio (NYSE:NIO) has come a long way during the past several years. Yet, Nio’s recent financial and operational data don’t support a long position in NIO stock right now. Plus, Nio is embarking on a business venture that could turn out
