Stocks to sell

If you’re a long-term investor in electric vehicle (EV) battery technology company QuantumScape (NYSE:QS), you probably felt a sense of relief when QS stock rallied recently. However, I’m advising extreme caution. This may just be a “bull trap,” and QuantumScape’s loyal shareholders could easily lose their gains soon. Not long ago, Wolfe Research analyst Rod

Electric vehicle manufacturer Polestar Automotive (NASDAQ:PSNY) might amaze you with its sleek high-performance automobiles. However, PSNY stock certainly hasn’t been a winner for long-term investors. Until this trend reverses, and until Polestar Automotive becomes a profitable business, it’s going to be difficult to assign a higher grade than a “D” to the stock. The fact is,

This article is an excerpt from the InvestorPlace Digest newsletter. To get news like this delivered straight to your inbox, click here. We’re officially in a bull market. Last week, the S&P 500 closed 20% above its recent lows and the American Association of Individual Investors (AAII) sentiment index hit its highest level since 2021. As

The bears have been calling for a recession since mid-2021, citing the unnatural shift post-pandemic in monetary policy and the lack of production to support the stimulus-induced demand. If you go by the book, much of that has already come true. We have had two quarters of negative GDP growth and high inflation worldwide due

Simple trading strategies like investing in stocks with high short interest deliver results like a short-squeeze rally. Quick returns in these stocks have little to do with the business fundamentals. Investing in purely speculative stocks has been rewarding in the past, particularly during the meme stock euphoria of 2021. The market of 2023 is completely

I’ve earned a lot since the 2022 bear market began. I did this by shorting shares of overvalued companies. These companies are clearly set to fail. It’s easy to spot these firms. They have unrealistic goals, tough competition, big challenges, poor products, bad management, or a mix of these. Picking the right stocks to sell

When Apple (NADAQ:AAPL), Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS), Meta (NADAQ:META), and Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) are all among the companies preparing for layoffs, investors should gird their portfolios for a potential downturn. Tech stocks seem to be taking the brunt of it despite being the top performing sector this year. Yet it’s beginning to spread to other areas of

The stock market is on a winning streak. A lot of good companies have enjoyed welcome recoveries after 2022’s steep sell-offs. But not all of these moves are as defensible. Indeed, in the case of these three overvalued stocks to sell, investors are taking grave chances owning at today’s prices. It’d be easy to think

Growth stocks across most tech-related sectors have been on a tear this year, and the trend has only accelerated these past two months. Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) is one name that springs to mind, leading the charge with an eye-watering 280%-plus gain from trough to peak. However, such momentum won’t last forever and the stock market will

When it comes to overvalued dividend stocks to sell, it’s best to think of them as a “picking up pennies in front of a steamroller” type of investment. That is, in exchange for relatively modest steady gains from dividend payouts, you are assuming a big risk. That’s because these types of stocks can be vulnerable to

On paper, the recovery of the benchmark S&P 500 index from its worrying lows last year implies the return of a bull market, seemingly rendering a conversation about overvalued stocks to avoid irrelevant. However, Morgan Stanley strategist Mike Wilson begs to differ. Per CNBC, market experts lauded Wilson’s correct predictions during last year’s volatility. Therefore,

While the U.S. economy has proved surprisingly resilient in 2023, the majority of economists are still calling for a recession in the next 12 months. Meanwhile, the Conference Board’s consumer confidence index hit a six-month low last month. Although the macroeconomic picture can best be described as murky, consumer discretionary stocks have been the third-best performing

For investors, it’s always difficult to know exactly when to say “enough is enough,” as struggling stocks lose value. It’s always tempting to hold on to positions, in the hope that a miraculous turnaround will materialize. More often than not, that strategy leads to further losses. Thus, I’d suggest that these three struggling stocks below

With over 500 electric vehicles models on the market, competition has intensified, and several EV companies will face financial difficulties. This analysis focuses on the fundamental outlook and advises against holding these high-risk EV stocks in a long-term portfolio. While there may be speculative opportunities for short-term rallies, the overall trend for these stocks is

We’re starting to see signs of a recession on the horizon, and while that doesn’t mean you should exit the market altogether, there are some stocks to sell now. Tough economic conditions are likely to sting the bulk of the market. Business costs will be rising just as demand starts to tail off. Meanwhile servicing

Investors have long favored growth and income stocks which deliver reliable dividends and modest capital appreciation over time. But these high P/E blue chips carry risk if the price isn’t right. In fact, it’s a common value investing pitfall to overpay for a seemingly safe and stable company. At the wrong entry point, however, defensive

The key to making profits in the markets has been to buy large-cap growth stocks, and sell value stocks. At least, that’s what it seems like, when you take into account that the surge of the S&P 500 index year-to-date is largely attributable to big gains among big tech stocks. Although not for certain, this trend

We’re back in a bull market, but it’s not close to being the same type of bull market that we saw from mid-2020 to early 2021. Obviously, unlike in that period, the vast majority of stocks aren’t rallying now, and meme stocks aren’t routinely soaring by a few hundred percent over a month or two.

Let’s not mince words here. Even if you like to gamble, Bed Bath & Beyond (OTCMKTS:BBBYQ) stock simply doesn’t offer a favorable reward-to-risk scenario. Even if they’re only considering a small, speculative share position, financial traders should still avoid Bed Bath & Beyond. Bed Bath & Beyond was a darling among meme stock traders in

After a strong start, cryptocurrencies have experienced sideways trading in the first half of 2023. However, the recent downturn in May has impacted many cryptocurrencies. Safe and practical crypto projects have been less affected, while investors have been selling off risky and outdated names to rebalance their portfolios. While the crypto market shows long-term promise
