Stocks to sell

The stock market has enjoyed a nice rally for most of 2024 after a strong recovery in 2023. However, equities are showing some weakness, with many tech companies in the middle of corrections.

Although meme stock mania settled down after Roaring Kitty woke the internet chatroom favorites from their slumber, it doesn’t mean these stocks still don’t have a large, passionate following.

The potential for marijuana legalization in the U.S. generated a lot of excitement in the cannabis industry.

With the painful market sell-off kicking things up a notch to start the month of August, it’s not hard to imagine many investors are seeking an exit point from some of their vulnerable stocks.
