These days, the U.S. economy isn’t looking so hot. Inflation is still red-hot. The Federal Reserve will more than likely keep its foot on the gas with interest rates. And more than half of Americans are now forced to live paycheck to paycheck. So, it comes as no real surprise that companies, like Walmart, sounded
Stocks to sell
Will investors of Walt Disney (NYSE:DIS) have a “magical” experience in 2023? It’s hard to be confident in DIS stock when Disney is preparing to bring back dividend payments but also intends to reduce its capital outlays. Plus, Disney is losing subscribers for its streaming service and appears to have a cash-burn problem. Generations of
Let’s face it – there are some stocks to sell that just have no hope left. Hope is a great thing. If it wasn’t for hope there wouldn’t be any such thing as investing. Putting your hard-earned money into an equity is essentially an act of hope and faith, anchored in the knowledge you’ve acquired
It seems as if all of the latest news regarding Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG,NASDAQ:GOOGL) has been of the negative variety. This has played a big role in the continued underperformance of GOOG stock. Since last year, issues for the tech giant have included a weak digital advertising market, rising competition, and regulatory scrutiny. Over the past month,
Over the past year, it has become difficult to argue the bull case for Lucid Motors (NASDAQ:LCID). Sure, market conditions have been a big reason why LCID stock has fallen from $25 to under $10 per share during this time. However, a much larger factor has been the electric vehicle (or EV) maker’s inability to
Luxembourg-based electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Arrival (NASDAQ:ARVL) wants to make its mark in the U.S. clean-energy vehicle market. It won’t be easy, as Arrival’s competitors include automotive giants like Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) and Ford (NYSE:F). Plus, ARVL stock investors should be concerned about the possibility of a delisting from the Nasdaq exchange. You may be familiar with Tesla’s huge
Should you invest in used-car retailer Carvana (NYSE:CVNA) because a famous fund manager did? It’s fine to follow the trades of financial “whales,” but Carvana is a troubled business. After learning about the company’s financial and legal woes, you’ll probably choose to avoid CVNA stock. Carvana’s long-term shareholders have watched the value of their investment plummet since
After pulling back due to disappointing delivery numbers, shares in China-based electric vehicle maker Nio (NYSE:NIO) have found support at around $10 per share. Investors bullish on NIO stock may believe this is a great entry point. In their view, the stock could hold steady at these price levels, then zoom back later this year.
Southwest Airlines (NYSE:LUV) COO Andrew Watterson appeared before a Senate panel on Feb. 9 investigating what happened in December that forced the airline to cancel thousands of flights, stranding passengers trying to get places over the holidays. Because of the debacle, between Dec. 1 and Dec. 28, LUV stock lost 20% of its value. Fortunately
Given the pressures we’re seeing in many areas of the economy, it’s no surprise that businesses are feeling the heat. That’s got us looking at a few stocks on bankruptcy watch. When it comes to investing, the dreaded “B-word” tends to evoke a strong reaction from investors. Suddenly, no one seems to want to own
With their steady payouts providing the potential for strong long-term returns, dividend stocks make for great portfolio holdings, in both bull and bear markets. However, just like with any categories of stocks, there are plenty of dividend stocks to avoid. Many of these are so-called “dividend traps” or “yield traps.” These are dividend stocks that
Since January, Quantumscape (NYSE:QS) stock has performed extremely well, even when compared to other speculative growth stocks that have soared higher during this timeframe. Even after pulling back after skyrocketing ahead of earnings (more below), QS stock remains up by around 91% year-to-date. Speculators have continued to bid up this early-stage electric vehicle battery company
Though the Federal Reserve’s aggressive actions against skyrocketing inflation delivered results, it may not be enough to spare all companies in the consumer discretionary space. Thus necessitating a discussion about stocks to sell. Keep in mind that this narrative doesn’t center on hating or bashing affected enterprises. Rather, investors just need to appreciate certain realities.
Scores of technology stocks have been hit hard in the past year, but Exela Technologies (NASDAQ:XELA) in particular has really taken a tumble. Over the last twelve months, XELA stock has plunged by nearly 99.6%. Investors who have held onto it since last year have likely written it off as a total loss. Yet with
It’s perfectly fine to have a strong conviction in new-energy vehicles. However, this doesn’t mean you should invest in electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:RIVN). Sure, RIVN stock popped in January, but the likelihood of a long-term rally is low because Rivian will have difficulty gaining market share against its most powerful competitors. It’s not
On the heels of recent spy balloon incidents, tensions between the U.S. and China are again on the rise. What does this mean for shares in China-based EV maker Nio (NYSE:NIO)? Admittedly, not much. Sure, while it may serve to re-heighten past de-listing fears for NIO stock, for now, it does little to change the story
As seen in recent headlines, investors have reacted unfavorably to Lucid Group’s (NASDAQ:LCID) plans to reduce the price of some of its vehicle models. To some, this may seem like a strange reaction, but a pullback for LCID stock due to this news appears to be appropriate. Unlike with the vehicle price cuts implemented by
At first glance, Exela Technologies (NASDAQ:XELA) might seem like a high-conviction business to invest in. Cautious financial traders should be wary of XELA stock, though. Exela’s fundamentals are subpar, and it’s possible that the company could be delisted in the near future. Texas-headquartered Exela Technologies specializes in a niche field known as business process automation (BPA).
Are we really back in a bull market? Not everyone is convinced. Many analysts, economists, and market commentators say the rally in equities in recent weeks is yet another bear market bounce, and we will soon see stock prices test new lows. Some commentators, such as famed investor Michael Burry, say that valuations remain too high and
A few weeks ago, it seemed as if “meme mania” for Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) was returning for an encore. As I discussed in my last article on LCID stock, thanks to an unconfirmed buyout rumor, shares in this electric vehicle (or EV) maker made a “to the moon” move, to as much as $17.81 per
