Stocks to sell

Is the banking crisis that has gripped the U.S. over? Investors don’t seem convinced. In recent weeks, bank stocks have trended lower across the board, with regional bank stocks plunging on continued fears. Worries of large unrealized losses and potential runs on deposits have investors large and small looking at which stocks to sell. The

When legendary investor Warren Buffett speaks, people listen, which might not bode well for those exposed to the below stocks to sell. Primarily, Buffett believes that the “extraordinary period” of excessive spending following the Covid-19-inspired stimulus package is over. Now, businesses must face certain harsh realities. In particular, companies directly exposed to the consumer market

Sorry to say it, but it’s time for the perma-bulls to give up on electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID). The company’s subpar financials and disappointing delivery data certainly don’t bode well for LCID stock. Besides, it’s problematic that Lucid Group is selling ultra-expensive vehicles while Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) is using the smarter strategy of implementing price

The current recovery in the stock market has been uneven. Tech is booming, financials are lagging and everything in between is a mixed bag. This is frustrating, especially as some once dominant stocks continue to fall to new lows. This has created some stocks with big red flags that could crash. Many strong businesses that

While no one invests in the capital markets to lose money, you can suffer the same result if you don’t heed the warnings of stocks to dump fast before they tank your portfolio. True, this topic generates discomfort and usually anger. However, discipline represents a key attribute to lever when faced with volatility. According to

Under the remarkable bull market cycle that materialized soon after the spring doldrums of 2020, the idea of red-flag stocks to avoid like the plague would have seemed a distant and ridiculous concept. However, amid geopolitical flashpoints, stubbornly high inflation, and a banking sector crisis, it’s never been more important to cut losses. As ChatGPT

Last year, U.S. equities could only be described as volatile and underperforming. The macroeconomic environment, intensified in part by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and China’s “zero Covid” policy, led to elevated commodities prices worldwide. Inflation reached a point where the U.S. Federal Reserve had to act by raising interest rates seven consecutive times. The Dow

At first glance, China-based electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Nio’s (NYSE:NIO) April delivery data might seem positive. Yet, it’s essential to dig into the numbers and put them in context before you think about buying NIO stock. Moreover, Nio’s stubborn refusal to budge on the issue of vehicle price cuts is probably a huge mistake. Along with

While chasing returns and profits is the name of the game for investors, one way to torpedo your portfolio is to fill it with overvalued stocks. Stocks become overvalued when they trade at a higher price than their actual value, based on measurements such as earnings and growth projections. Many investors use price-to-earnings ratios, price-to-sales

Prudent investors are now forced to reassess their portfolios and risk profiles. Indeed, for those invested in penny stocks, the promise of substantial returns is great. However, these stocks also offer incredibly high risk and unpredictability. Accordingly, as interest rates rise and economic conditions deteriorate, these stocks may not be the best place to hide. These

If you, like many economists, believe that the U.S. is headed for a recession this year, you may wonder when to sell cyclical stocks. Cyclical stocks rise and fall with the economy. In good economic times, cyclical stocks perform better. And when things are tightening, it may be time to look for the best cyclical

Previously, we warned you about the never-ending plunge in Plug Power (NASDAQ:PLUG) stock. Could an already bad situation get even worse? It’s possible, as Plug Power is suddenly dipping into an electric vehicle infrastructure niche market. This could be a major failure for a company that can’t easily afford to fail. Eager traders are constantly on

As interest rates continue to climb, there are plenty of overvalued hyper-growth stocks to avoid right now. This comes even as stocks, in particular growth stocks, have pulled back considerably since late 2021. Even so, despite big price declines, many high-profile names in these fast-growing areas continue to sport inflated valuations. There are two reasons these

The story of QuantumScape (NYSE:QS) stock illustrates the problem of investing in science or engineering, and in any “pre-revenue” company. My son is now a scientist. It’s a difficult business. He comes home frustrated many evenings. Things don’t always work. Failure is most definitely an option. Engineering to scale scientific theories is just as difficult.

It’s understandable if you’re impressed with Meta Platforms’ (NASDAQ:META) first-quarter 2023 results. However, it appears that any positive news has already been priced into META stock. Besides, there are notable red flags surrounding Meta Platforms, including scrutiny from an arm of the U.S. government. Meta Platforms and its CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, are no strangers to controversy.

Not long ago, we warned that Block (NYSE:SQ) would release its earnings soon and that investors shouldn’t be too eager to buy SQ stock regardless of the outcome. As you might expect, Block’s management attempted to put a positive spin on the company’s financial results. Yet, cautious traders should take a closer look and form their

In recent weeks oil prices have tanked leading to some overvalued energy stocks. Through the first week of May, crude oil prices declined for three consecutive weeks in what amounts to the biggest pullback since November 2022. In the first week of May alone, the price of West Texas Intermediate crude oil, the U.S. standard,

While concocting a list of the worst regional bank stocks to sell now naturally sets a negative tone, here’s the reality. Recently, the AP warned that the banking crisis isn’t over yet. Fundamentally, the question of the news agency centers on the magnitude of pain. Frankly, it’s difficult not to at least acknowledge that regional

As anyone who regularly reads my columns knows, I’m generally optimistic about the outlooks of the U.S. economy and American stocks. And I think that investors are greatly undervaluing many growth stocks, particularly in the renewable energy, electric vehicle, and biotech spaces. Further, the valuations of most growth stocks have tumbled a great deal since 2020.

As you may already know, the next big event for Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:RIVN) is today. That is, the latest quarterly results for RIVN stock will hit the street post-market. Given that the electric vehicle (or EV) maker’s quarterly production and delivery numbers were released over a month ago, there may not be too many negative
