The stock market is on a winning streak. A lot of good companies have enjoyed welcome recoveries after 2022’s steep sell-offs. But not all of these moves are as defensible. Indeed, in the case of these three overvalued stocks to sell, investors are taking grave chances owning at today’s prices. It’d be easy to think
Stocks to sell
Growth stocks across most tech-related sectors have been on a tear this year, and the trend has only accelerated these past two months. Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) is one name that springs to mind, leading the charge with an eye-watering 280%-plus gain from trough to peak. However, such momentum won’t last forever and the stock market will
When it comes to overvalued dividend stocks to sell, it’s best to think of them as a “picking up pennies in front of a steamroller” type of investment. That is, in exchange for relatively modest steady gains from dividend payouts, you are assuming a big risk. That’s because these types of stocks can be vulnerable to
On paper, the recovery of the benchmark S&P 500 index from its worrying lows last year implies the return of a bull market, seemingly rendering a conversation about overvalued stocks to avoid irrelevant. However, Morgan Stanley strategist Mike Wilson begs to differ. Per CNBC, market experts lauded Wilson’s correct predictions during last year’s volatility. Therefore,
While the U.S. economy has proved surprisingly resilient in 2023, the majority of economists are still calling for a recession in the next 12 months. Meanwhile, the Conference Board’s consumer confidence index hit a six-month low last month. Although the macroeconomic picture can best be described as murky, consumer discretionary stocks have been the third-best performing
For investors, it’s always difficult to know exactly when to say “enough is enough,” as struggling stocks lose value. It’s always tempting to hold on to positions, in the hope that a miraculous turnaround will materialize. More often than not, that strategy leads to further losses. Thus, I’d suggest that these three struggling stocks below
With over 500 electric vehicles models on the market, competition has intensified, and several EV companies will face financial difficulties. This analysis focuses on the fundamental outlook and advises against holding these high-risk EV stocks in a long-term portfolio. While there may be speculative opportunities for short-term rallies, the overall trend for these stocks is
We’re starting to see signs of a recession on the horizon, and while that doesn’t mean you should exit the market altogether, there are some stocks to sell now. Tough economic conditions are likely to sting the bulk of the market. Business costs will be rising just as demand starts to tail off. Meanwhile servicing
Investors have long favored growth and income stocks which deliver reliable dividends and modest capital appreciation over time. But these high P/E blue chips carry risk if the price isn’t right. In fact, it’s a common value investing pitfall to overpay for a seemingly safe and stable company. At the wrong entry point, however, defensive
The key to making profits in the markets has been to buy large-cap growth stocks, and sell value stocks. At least, that’s what it seems like, when you take into account that the surge of the S&P 500 index year-to-date is largely attributable to big gains among big tech stocks. Although not for certain, this trend
We’re back in a bull market, but it’s not close to being the same type of bull market that we saw from mid-2020 to early 2021. Obviously, unlike in that period, the vast majority of stocks aren’t rallying now, and meme stocks aren’t routinely soaring by a few hundred percent over a month or two.
Let’s not mince words here. Even if you like to gamble, Bed Bath & Beyond (OTCMKTS:BBBYQ) stock simply doesn’t offer a favorable reward-to-risk scenario. Even if they’re only considering a small, speculative share position, financial traders should still avoid Bed Bath & Beyond. Bed Bath & Beyond was a darling among meme stock traders in
After a strong start, cryptocurrencies have experienced sideways trading in the first half of 2023. However, the recent downturn in May has impacted many cryptocurrencies. Safe and practical crypto projects have been less affected, while investors have been selling off risky and outdated names to rebalance their portfolios. While the crypto market shows long-term promise
There’s a slew of fresh data pertaining to China-based electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Nio (NYSE:NIO). Overall, it doesn’t support a long position in NIO stock. Prospective investors should be cautious now, and Nio’s current shareholders might consider bailing before it’s too late. Not long ago, I warned that Nio’s shareholders should sell quickly. I’m standing by
High-performance automotive lidar (light detection and radar) sensor company MicroVision (NASDAQ:MVIS) has received a lot of attention from meme-stock traders lately. Yet, that’s not a sufficient reason to invest in MicroVision now. MVIS stock appears to be running out of steam, and the next big move is probably to the downside. The last thing I
The overall energy market has seen a decline since the end of 2022. Stocks within the energy and oil and gas sectors saw a large amount of growth in 2022 while the broader was falling. This was due to multiple factors, including the war in Ukraine, supply chain disruptions, higher demands for goods, and increased
Not all stocks are worthy of investor capital. Today, we’ll be looking at three poor-performing stocks to avoid. As the market marches higher this year, these stocks are sliding. Whether it is because they have lost their competitive edge, have poor financials, or are producing outdated products, the best days of the companies below appear
During May, and for part of June, there was little in the way of direct news regarding electric battery (or EV) technology company QuantumScape (NYSE:QS). However, after weeks of static, there once again has been some widely-publicized chatter about QS stock. Unfortunately, the news itself wasn’t exactly the kind of thing that bolsters confidence from the
Why do investors buy Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:RIVN)? The answer is simple. Those buying RIVN stock believe that the vehicle electrification mega-trend will cause turbo-charged growth for this electric truck and van maker driving a big rebound for shares. However, it’s far from a given that such a scenario plays out. It’s important not to assume
It’s undeniable that Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) is a darling of the market now. NVDA stock seems unstoppable as the company is a major supplier of hardware for generative artificial intelligence applications. However, with so much positive news and future success already priced into the shares, cautious investors shouldn’t get too excited about Nvidia now. Last week, I
