Stocks to sell

Real estate stocks are forming the perfect storm. First, the pandemic greatly reduced society’s desire to use various kinds of commercial real estate. Second, soaring interest rates have made it far more difficult for leveraged real estate owners to make good on their interest payments and debt refinances. Some firms will get through the disruption

According to Morningstar, communication services companies are those “that provide communication services using fixed-line networks or those that provide wireless access and services.” Also within the space are firms “that provide Internet services such as access, navigation and Internet related software and services.” Among the companies running into trouble in the communications services space are a number of

Investing in companies that make products people buy day-in and day-out is a smart way to weather an economic storm, but there are some consumer staples stocks to sell which are the exception to that rule. A consumer staples stock includes a whole range of companies— from over-the-counter medicines to household products, food and even

QuantumScape (NYSE:QS) stock has once again been a profitable trade for meme speculators, to the chagrin of its skeptics. The market reacted positively to the electric vehicle battery developer’s latest earnings release, sending QS stock nearly 40% higher. As I argued when the ink had to dry on the earnings release, the report itself was

It’s funny how the financial market can flip so quickly. During the past several years, many investors disliked Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) stock because the company lost market share to its chip-making rivals. Now, suddenly, some folks are ultra-bullish about INTC stock. Yet, there are reasons to maintain a healthy sense of skepticism about Intel. Intel stock doesn’t

Although crude oil had a strong run in July and is now trading back above $80 a barrel, the price has been largely trending lower since peaking at $122 per barrel in June 2022 after Russia invaded Ukraine. The decline is starting to show up in energy companies’ earnings. Most oil majors just announced their

Prior to early 2023, enterprise artificial intelligence (AI) company C3.ai (NYSE:AI) was relatively unknown. Then, everybody and his uncle started talking about machine learning, and AI stock shot to the moon. Now, instead of backing up the truck and going all in, it’s time to consider scaling back on your share position in C3.ai. I

A lot of traders and analysts are bullish on gold. JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM) just issued a new forecast that predicts the price of gold will hit record levels in 2024. Analysts at JPM are urging investors to take a position in gold ahead of a likely U.S. recession, predicting that the price of the precious

Everybody likes Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) stock now – well, maybe not literally everybody. Nvidia’s position as a premier manufacturer of chips for artificial intelligence applications is notable. However, if the market is truly efficient, then the Nvidia share price should already reflect the company’s niche-market dominance. Besides, just consider the terrible resolution of the tech-stock bubble of the

The recent rally in the stock market has pleased investors with outstanding returns. With the earnings season going on in full swing, investors have high expectations from companies, especially the top tech companies. Driven by the AI craze, we have seen several companies report better-than-expected numbers. However, one should not judge all companies based on

Retail investors have jumped strategically on various cinema stocks over the past two years. The trend has capitalized on the surge seen in pandemic rebound plays, as well as the meme stock mania. Other factors, such as an improved movie slate, are considerations for speculators and investors looking at this sector. Thus, the recent releases

On May 2, the Writers Guild of America went on strike against the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) due to labor disputes primarily regarding streaming service residuals and uses of artificial intelligence, such as ChatGPT, to replace writers. Then on July 14, SAG-AFTRA Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists

Healthcare stocks can include a wide range of industries and companies. While there’s real money to be made here, the sector is also full of quicksand just waiting to pull you and your wallet into the ground. The sector includes pharmaceuticals, biotech, medical device companies, health insurers and healthcare facilities. You also have specialized healthcare

For brief periods of time, stock traders will get excited about electric vehicle battery technology company QuantumScape (NYSE:QS). Don’t get caught in a trap, though. As QuantumScape’s battery-market rivals relentlessly move forward, QS stock remains vulnerable to a pullback even if it catches a bid from time to time. Here’s an example. Previously, QuantumScape stock rallied

In my last article on QuantumScape (NYSE:QS), I discussed the recent rally with QS stock, and whether this rally was due to the possible unveiling of game-changing news in the EV technology company’s then-upcoming earnings release. Flash forward to now. QuantumScape’s latest results/updates have just hit the street. As of this writing, the earnings release

Lone gone are the high times when EV stocks flew to the moon irrespective of the companies’ fundamentals. In 2023, the market’s landscape is quite different and Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) stock can’t thrive on hype alone anymore. Unfortunately, as the data will show, Lucid Group just hasn’t lived up to its potential lately. Lucid Group has

Google the words “telecom layoffs,” and you get plenty of stories about industry job losses in the U.S. and Canada. That makes it very tough to decide the top telecom stock to buy and the top telecom stocks to sell. The iShares U.S. Telecommunications ETF (BATS:IYZ) tracks the performance of the Russell 1000 Telecommunications RIC

If you spend enough time in the stock market, you’ll inevitably run into consumer stocks. I like consumer stocks because they can be good buys during a robust economy. It’s also possible to find some undervalued consumer stocks when the market takes a turn lower because some consumer segments are less resistant to recessions –

Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) stock faces significant challenges as its CEO plans to take on Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA), raising concerns for investors. Despite a recent partnership announcement with another automaker, Lucid Group’s stock remains risky and not a high-confidence pick.  The company’s public offering and move into China’s EV market raise concerns for long-term investors. That said,

There’s always something going on with Nio (NYSE:NIO) stock it seems. The China-based electric vehicle manufacturer likes to test the waters with new and unusual revenue-generating ideas. Yet, more isn’t necessarily better for unproven business ventures. Ultimately, NIO stock only earns a “D” grade as Nio refuses to stay in its lane and stick to its
