Stocks to sell

Previously, we warned you about the never-ending plunge in Plug Power (NASDAQ:PLUG) stock. Could an already bad situation get even worse? It’s possible, as Plug Power is suddenly dipping into an electric vehicle infrastructure niche market. This could be a major failure for a company that can’t easily afford to fail. Eager traders are constantly on

As interest rates continue to climb, there are plenty of overvalued hyper-growth stocks to avoid right now. This comes even as stocks, in particular growth stocks, have pulled back considerably since late 2021. Even so, despite big price declines, many high-profile names in these fast-growing areas continue to sport inflated valuations. There are two reasons these

The story of QuantumScape (NYSE:QS) stock illustrates the problem of investing in science or engineering, and in any “pre-revenue” company. My son is now a scientist. It’s a difficult business. He comes home frustrated many evenings. Things don’t always work. Failure is most definitely an option. Engineering to scale scientific theories is just as difficult.

It’s understandable if you’re impressed with Meta Platforms’ (NASDAQ:META) first-quarter 2023 results. However, it appears that any positive news has already been priced into META stock. Besides, there are notable red flags surrounding Meta Platforms, including scrutiny from an arm of the U.S. government. Meta Platforms and its CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, are no strangers to controversy.

Not long ago, we warned that Block (NYSE:SQ) would release its earnings soon and that investors shouldn’t be too eager to buy SQ stock regardless of the outcome. As you might expect, Block’s management attempted to put a positive spin on the company’s financial results. Yet, cautious traders should take a closer look and form their

In recent weeks oil prices have tanked leading to some overvalued energy stocks. Through the first week of May, crude oil prices declined for three consecutive weeks in what amounts to the biggest pullback since November 2022. In the first week of May alone, the price of West Texas Intermediate crude oil, the U.S. standard,

While concocting a list of the worst regional bank stocks to sell now naturally sets a negative tone, here’s the reality. Recently, the AP warned that the banking crisis isn’t over yet. Fundamentally, the question of the news agency centers on the magnitude of pain. Frankly, it’s difficult not to at least acknowledge that regional

As anyone who regularly reads my columns knows, I’m generally optimistic about the outlooks of the U.S. economy and American stocks. And I think that investors are greatly undervaluing many growth stocks, particularly in the renewable energy, electric vehicle, and biotech spaces. Further, the valuations of most growth stocks have tumbled a great deal since 2020.

As you may already know, the next big event for Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:RIVN) is today. That is, the latest quarterly results for RIVN stock will hit the street post-market. Given that the electric vehicle (or EV) maker’s quarterly production and delivery numbers were released over a month ago, there may not be too many negative

The strength in stock market indices in 2023 is masking the stocks to sell now. Investors may remain vigilant in noticing the stocks flash red flags after firms posted quarterly results. Companies that reported a sharp drop in revenue are one of many major warning signs. Even if those stocks with bad fundamentals slumped after

The technology industry has been marred by large-scale layoffs, an erosion of earnings, and cost-cutting measures, prompting investors to contemplate the worst tech dividend stocks. Though the sector has enjoyed an out performance driven by a few big players, the performances are few. Investors must be wary of tech dividend trap stocks in the current

Xpeng (NYSE:XPEV) shares drifted significantly lower during 2022. So far in 2023, however, XPEV stock has held steady, especially over the past month. Admittedly, this makes sense. Back in April, the China-based electric vehicle maker made a big announcement. This announcement could pave the way for a turnaround. But while the story with Xpeng might

China-based electric vehicle manufacturer Nio (NYSE:NIO) tried to spin its April delivery data as positive. However, NIO stock traders should consider whether the automaker is actually improving in its EV deliveries. Besides, it’s troublesome that Nio’s management is still not considering making its vehicles more affordable to the public by slashing prices. In China and elsewhere,

Although the next round of key inflation reports could change their tune, Federal Reserve officials for now remain adamant about raising interest rates to curb inflation. In fact, if they do it’s important to stay away from the worst dividend stocks for rising rates. Sure, plenty of contrarian investors believe that the Fed is on

While Uncle Sam again got quickly in front of the collapse of First Republic (OTCMKTS:FRCB) – the third bank failure of the year so far – investors might want to take heed of the worst bank stocks 2023. From there, they’ll probably want to steer clear until circumstances substantively improve. As an op-ed from MarketWatch

Investors love high-yield dividend stocks with good reason. Dividend investments provide a strong income stream and can help investors remain calm in a volatile market. However, there are some dividend trap stocks out there as not all are created equal. After all, a dividend generally comes out of a company’s earnings and cash flows. If

There’s nothing wrong with believing in sustainable technology. However, you might want to think twice before considering an investment in electric vehicle (EV) battery technology company QuantumScape (NYSE:QS). It’s hard to justify buying QS stock when QuantumScape’s operational progress is moving at a slow pace. Plus, the company’s financials are far from ideal. Generally speaking, being

Predictions of Lucid Motors’ (NASDAQ:LCID) death are somewhat exaggerated. That’s not the same as saying you should invest in LCID stock. CEO Peter Rawlinson, formerly with Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA), succeeded in his primary goal. He made a great luxury electric in the Lucid Air sedan. It’s the luxury car of the year and it’s coming to

In past years, the media and social media have highlighted so-called meme stocks repeatedly. However, this trend can be hazardous for individuals who need more financial literacy and are supposed to be responsible long-term investors. They may need proper knowledge to build a diversified portfolio and adhere to an investment plan. Stock speculation is a

While investing in stocks is a terrific way to secure a comfortable retirement, your plans can go awry in plenty of ways. One of the worst is to find out (belatedly) that you have F-rated stocks that are holding you back. F-rated stocks get the worst grades from the Portfolio Grader. That’s the free tool
