Stocks to sell

Often when investors choose dividend stocks as part of their portfolio, the aim is to generate more money through the quarterly dividend. They can then either take a cash payout or reinvest the dividend to purchase more of that specific stock thereby increasing its dollar value.  However, as with all things in the market, the

Dividends, as well as share buy-back programs, can be lucrative for shareholders of a cash generating company. Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), for example, is a cash cow that’s struggling in terms of equity performance (and innovation), but the tech giant offers a nice dividend and returns tons of cash back to shareholders in the former of share

Morgan Stanley recently released its bullish take on the biotech space, driven by anticipated interest rate cuts and a surge in mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activity. The analyst firm states biotech stocks typically outshine the market just before a rate cut. Moreover, increased optimism spurs an uptick in M&A activity, contributing to a more active

Are you looking for the “next” GameStop (NYSE:GME) stock or AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) stock? That’s already a misguided mindset, and it’s even worse if you’re focused on a troubled business like Tupperware Brands (NYSE:TUP). The last thing you need is a toxic asset in your portfolio, so don’t try to come up with any “bright ideas” about

Is Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) an underdog, or just an underachiever? There’s a vast difference between contrarian investing and just trying to contradict reality. Intel stock has been a poor performer in 2024 so far, and it gets a “D” grade as the recovery prospects aren’t stellar. Intel is trying to compete in the artificial intelligence processor market against

There are some retirement stocks to sell in May this year. As we enter the second quarter, it’s a good time to reassess your retirement portfolio and make strategic adjustments. Certain stocks that may have once seemed like stable investments can become liabilities. It’s essential to ensure that your retirement portfolio is not only diversified

I’m 100% on board when it comes to penny stocks. If you choose correctly, I think they are a fine way to diversify your portfolio and gain exposure to some companies that are on the verge of some dynamic things that can bring you profits. But you have to choose the right stocks — and

Faraday Future Intelligent Electric (NASDAQ:FFIE) is the perfect encapsulation of why investors should not bet on penny stocks or meme stocks. Trying to parlay a good story (or not so good in this case) into a winning investment usually ends up in tragedy and losses. The electric vehicle (EV) maker shows how that can play

Meme stocks are back in vogue, and some folks might look to Roblox (NYSE:RBLX) as a short-squeeze target. I’ve warned about this before. Serious investors shouldn’t randomly pick stocks in hope of a moonshot. Instead, look closely at Roblox’s fundamentals — and when you’ve done your due diligence, you’ll surely choose to avoid Roblox stock.

Investing in memes stocks has alternately proven to be extremely lucrative and also a very poor strategy. Pick a moment in time, and it’s easy to find a narrative that confirms or disconfirms the inherent value of the grouping of stocks, popularly known as stonks to detractors. Whether meme stocks are up or down during

A couple of weeks ago, there was significant activity (particularly in media coverage) regarding the seeming resurgence of meme stocks. The classics of the meme mania, AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) and GameStop (NYSE:GME), rocketed higher. However, nearly as quickly as excitement for meme stocks regained momentum, the fervor seems to be fading again. Yet this does

The latest Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) minutes outlined delayed interest rate cuts. These are an effort to clamp down on inflation, noting “fewer cuts this year than previously thought.” This translates to elevated borrowing costs and increased living costs, a fertile ground for reduced profit margins. In such an economic climate, identifying stocks to

Financial and financial technology stocks have had a decent run ever since interest rates rose. The Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSEARCA:XLF) is an exchange-traded fund that tracks 71 equities in the financial sector, including banking and insurance companies. The ETF has $39 billion in assets under management and has risen 28% over the past

Earlier in May, President Biden’s administration announced a series of new tariffs on goods sourced from China. The move will raise the tariff rate on a variety of imported goods including steel and aluminum, semiconductors, electric vehicles and batteries, solar industry goods and medical equipment. The biggest headline grabbing part of this policy move is

If you’re wondering which overvalued blue-chip stocks to ditch right now, look no further. The best investors pay attention to a stock’s valuation. Warren Buffett famously avoids buying stocks that are trading at more than 15 times future earnings estimates. Any stock with a higher multiple is too expensive for the Oracle of Omaha. Buffett’s

In certain market conditions, stocks may temporarily deviate from their intrinsic value, leading to overvaluation. Eventually, they tend to revert to their true worth. However, buying overvalued stocks often leads to underperformance as prices readjust. To gauge stock value, various metrics are used, including P/E and EV/EBITDA ratios, and comparison of stock price to company

For a moment between 2020 and 2022, it seemed as if e-commerce would become the future of how people shop and purchase their daily goods. From companies like Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) to Costco Wholesale (NASDAQ:COST), in-person shopping looked like a thing of the past. However, there are still some benefits to shopping in person that e-commerce

It’s fine to monitor AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) stock from a distance, the last thing you need is to lose your shirt on a high-risk meme stock, and we’re assigning it an “F” grade today. GameStop (NYSE:GME) and AMC Entertainment rallied sharply during meme-stock mania in early 2021. Then, plummeted in 2022 and 2023. Some overeager investors might feel

Two key attributes that I often look for in companies when deciding whether to invest in them are points of differentiation and competitive advantages. Points of differentiation distinguish companies from their competitors. Some of these points result in competitive advantages that enable firms to gain market share. Ultimately, market share gains frequently result in higher
