The uncertainty in the stock markets makes it imperative to offload these tech stocks to sell. Though tech stocks ruled the roost last year, it’s important to understand that not all technology companies are created equal.

Travel stocks are an obvious example of a seasonal trading play as demand for travel services responds to changes in weather. Ski resorts experience increased demand during the winter months. However, many industries, such as hotels in resort locations, airlines, cruise lines and restaurants, see a summer demand surge. Typically, June delivers strong performance. So,
You may have heard the pithy investing mantra to “sell in May and go away.” Because stocks tend to underperform during the summer months, the idea is to sit them out and wait for better opportunities in the fall. I don’t invest that way. I prefer to put my money to work at regular intervals
The timing is perfect for loading up on dividend stocks as market experts expect the S&P 500 to increase 4% in June following a 5% rise in May as three potential rate cuts loom, possibly boosting already solid corporate profitability.

Some folks are aware of electric vehicle manufacturer Tesla’s (NASDAQ:TSLA) problems, but insist on investing. Alternatively, maybe they’re just not aware of Tesla’s issues and challenges. Either way, Tesla stock earns a “D” grade and is an asset to avoid. Why do some people continue to invest in Tesla despite the automaker’s problems? Maybe because
Despite potential signs of recovery in the solar space, the current economic headwinds loom over its near-term future. Hence, the discussion about solar stocks to sell still remains relevant. The past couple of years have weighed down volumes in the solar sector, mostly due to rising interest rates. As borrowing costs rise, so does long-term
There’s bad news brewing for some cannabis stocks. Even as cannabis rescheduling efforts continue, a key segment of the wider market is coming up on massive disruption: a hemp ban. Hemp is a low- or no-THC cannabis crop, used for decades in textile work and many industrial processes. But, in 2018, the United States Farm
Palantir Technologies (NYSE:PLTR) is among the key beneficiaries of the recent AI-driven rally, with PLTR stock surging 167% last year and 36% this year before first-quarter earnings. Since then, Palantir stock price has been on the decline, losing around 18% post-earnings. Investors have much to consider regarding this AI stock. Palantir’s valuation has surged due
Despite a significant comeback in 2023, Intel‘s (NASDAQ:INTC) share price has plummeted in 2024. The chipmaker’s shares have actually fallen nearly 40% since the start of the year.

Penny stocks are risky. That’s why we attach a warning to the tail-end of penny stock articles. It’s also why the SEC warns of their dangers. “Penny stocks may trade infrequently — which means that it may be difficult to sell penny stock shares once you have them.

Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) stock is in a solid position that drives revenue from diverse streams. Its productivity apps target white-collar workers, and its Windows OS is widely used globally. Additionally, Azuere Cloud is gaining more traction and market share. Over 65% of Fortune 500 companies use OpenAI Services. Moreover, its cloud revenue also spiked up to
The video gaming industry, while robust, is facing some serious challenges. The slowdown in consumer spending, market saturation, and uninspiring video game titles have dampened the industry’s position. Moreover, though it’s one of the fastest-growing segments in entertainment, video gaming isn’t immune to market saturation and fierce competition. Hence, it’s probably time to think about
Here’s what’s going on with Rent the Runway (NASDAQ:RENT). Some traders are desperately looking for the next red-hot meme stock or the next artificial intelligence stock. Targeting Rent the Runway stock is a terrible idea that will rob investors of their capital. Just to recap, Rent the Runway allows people to rent clothing online. Ihor
The seeming inability of retail investors to permanently lift meme stocks bodes badly for AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) stock. Meanwhile, the company’s rather unimpressive first-quarter results, along with its high valuation and huge debt load, also don’t look good for its outlook. In light of all of these points, I strongly urge investors to unload the
The Nasdaq Composite, which holds a number of big-name tech stocks, experienced a bit of selling pressure last week. In particular, the index fell nearly 2%.

Currently, there are only 68 companies that boast the esteemed title of Dividend Aristocrat. Among a couple of other, more trivial requirements, a company must be a member of the S&P 500 index and have raised its dividend payout for a minimum of 25 consecutive years.

2023 was a very tough year for solar stocks overall. The Federal Reserve’s decision to hike interest rates several times made borrowing much more expensive, resulting in lower profitability for solar firms. Solar ETF performance was pretty dismal overall with some stunning losses. 2024 began with the expectation of a turnaround on hopes for interest
