Stocks to sell

The U.S. economy has proven more resilient than investors would’ve hoped, making stocks to avoid inflation relevant for the foreseeable future. The discussion on reducing interest rates seems to have dulled down following a disheartening February inflation report. Core U.S. inflation came in hotter-than-expected for the second straight month, driven by massive price hikes in

Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) stock has a roughly $560 billion valuation, down more than 50% from its peak with more downside possible. TSLA reduced production to align with demand in key markets because of declining demand in China. Several high-profile analysts have forecasted a disastrous Q1 for Tesla in the deliveries department, something many have seen coming

It’s been a tough road for consumer discretionary stocks since the pandemic ended. Sky high inflation, rising interest rates and economic worries have led consumers to tighten their purse strings. At the same time, discretionary dollars have flowed more towards travel and experiences and away from spending on goods and products. The result is that

Plug Power (NASDAQ:PLUG) stock is leading the green hydrogen revolution. It has established itself as the only one-stop shop for obtaining fuel cells, electrolyzers and green hydrogen fuel. The problem is, creating the entire infrastructure from top to bottom is expensive. Unfortunately, Plug Power has a long history of being unable to do so profitably.

Investors have made a ton of money in cloud computing stocks over the past 15 years. The transformation from on-premise to off-premise software, data storage, and security has been truly revolutionary for the technology industry. But at some point, a concept may get played out. And it seems like we’re reaching that point with cloud

Changing consumer behaviors can and often do cause upheaval for entire sectors of the economy. For example, newspapers and bookstores can’t keep their heads above water because of the internet. Similarly, the advent of music downloads has largely made music stores (yes, millennials, those actually existed in large numbers) extinct. Smartphones, of course, eventually caused

This time of year brings many tasks, holiday shopping and making Easter eggs, mowing the grass for perhaps the first time all year, and giving the house a deep spring cleaning. So why not do the same with your portfolio and rid it of stocks to sell? There’s no time like the present when ridding

It’s exciting, to watch Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) stock ride higher on Bitcoin’s (BTC-USD) coattails. This makes the stock susceptible to a retracement because of Coinbase’s high valuation. It’s fine to believe in Coinbase and Bitcoin. The last thing you need is to get trapped in an unfavorable trade. Coinbase has revenue growth opportunities and room for business evolution. That’s

Apparently, there’s a fund with a large financial stake in electric vehicle manufacturer Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) stock. Sensible investors should consider the bigger picture when assessing a company. Despite having a financial backer, LCID stock receives an “F” grade. Slowing EV demand means that manufacturers like Lucid Group are under tremendous pressure. Investors must be cautious and selective.

Is the stock market getting too euphoric? It’s clear that the indexes are on fire right now, and the gains seem effortless as the markets keep notching new highs. However, sentiment may be getting out of hand. One popular measure of sentiment, CNN‘s Fear and Greed Index, has pushed into extreme readings in recent weeks.

February retail sales rose 0.6% from the previous month, despite higher consumer prices, indicating positive consumer sentiment. In addition, the Federal Reserve signaled plans to cut interest rates three times in 2024, potentially leaving consumers with more disposable income. Plus, the strong job market and rising wages are also supporting consumer spending. Despite these signs,

“A rising tide lifts all ships.” It’s a simple yet stark reminder of investors’ tendency to overestimate the market’s value when things look green. Case in point: the artificial intelligence (AI) boom is pulling a lot of companies up, and there’s a creeping concern about super-high valuations leading to a strong pullback or, worse, an

Investing in the electric vehicle sector has proved to be the right move for those looking to invest in the next big thing, at least in stalwart companies like Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) or BYD Co. (OTCMKTS:BYDDF) over the long-term. Unfortunately for growth investors, companies like Nio (NYSE:NIO) have underperformed. There’s no way around that reality. After

Overvalued stocks can be quite ruinous for portfolios. Even solid companies with high valuations can come crashing down if they don’t meet lofty expectations or if the market’s confidence wanes. Internet infrastructure provider, Fastly (NASDAQ:FSLY), is one example of this. In 2020, many in the IT sector loved the company’s offerings, and Fastly’s sales were

Dividend investing is a spectacular way of accumulating wealth, especially if you locate your dividend stocks in tax-efficient accounts. In fact, I’d argue that nimble dividend investing would beat capital gains investing in today’s economy. Despite the allure of dividend investing, risks are ever-present. For example, many companies sustain their dividend payouts to satisfy investors

The stock market remains at an all-time high. However, many analysts and market observers are starting to question aloud how much longer the current rally can last? In a recent analysis, investment bank Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) notes that U.S.-based hedge funds have started ditching American equities and shifting capital into European stocks. Hedge fund exposure

There are some gaming stocks to sell that investors should consider closely. These gaming companies are in risky positions, with declining revenues and increasing competition from newer entrants. What makes holding these companies worse is that the gaming industry is undergoing major disruptions and shifts. The rise of mobile gaming, cloud gaming services and new

Defense stocks consist of equities investors turn toward during economic or geopolitical tumult. While inflation may be under control and interest rates likely to come down later in the year, geopolitical conflicts continue proliferate. These days there is not only a war in Ukraine, but also one in the Gaza Strip. However, not all of these

Some value hunters may be tempted to invest in Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) stock now, but don’t assume it’s a good value. We’re giving Tesla’s stock a “D” grade and warning potential shareholders of potential price declines in 2024. Tesla CEO Elon Musk already provided some warning signals. Musk said vehicle volume growth “may be notably lower” in 2024, adding that

Despite being priced at under $3 per share, Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) stock is one that many investors continue to consider to be overvalued. Some analysts have put forward optimistic target prices projecting significant returns. However, numerous factors suggest Lucid’s downward trajectory is likely to continue.  Increased competition in the luxury EV market as well as
