While the 30 companies listed under the venerable Dow Jones Industrial Average, not all securities can succeed at the same time, necessitating an uncomfortable discussion about which Dow stocks to sell. Given the rough year we’ve had along with a questionable macroeconomic backdrop for next year, investors may want to jettison some problematic market ideas.
As financial markets enter the final month of the year, investors are focused on the one ahead. Eyes are on the Federal Reserve as investors analyze if and when markets will rebound in 2023. Positive indicators hint that a new bull market is on the way. With this in mind, investors should be carefully analyzing
One way retail investors can keep tabs on “smart money” is by keeping an eye on hedge funds. With ample resources, connections, and investing skills, hedge funds may “know” something you do not. Keeping track of their latest moves, you may have a stronger chance of determining whether there’s opportunity ahead, or trouble ahead, with a
Investors of neo-banking firm SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) jumped for joy after Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell hinted at a less severe interest rate hike this month. SOFI stock spiked, but the party didn’t last long. SoFi Technologies’ shareholders may suffer from a hangover soon as conditions don’t favor the company now. It’s great to be invested
Up until last year, investing in growth stocks appeared to be the golden ticket to success. However, given the current volatility and unpredictable nature of the stock market, investors should think twice about investing in growth stocks. It is more sensible to take a closer look at the growth stocks to sell, as the risks
All in all, the bear case for Redfin (NASDAQ:RDFN) stock is too strong to ignore now. The Seattle-based real-estate technology platform posted third-quarter 2022 financial results that could generously be described as disappointing, or harshly described as dreadful. Moreover, Redfin’s research results point to a number of problems happening in the U.S. housing market. There’s
SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) stock continues to flounder due to recent developments. SOFI stock moved back to penny stock levels after the Biden Administration’s latest extension of the student loan moratorium further delayed a rebound for its now-dormant legacy student loan refinancing business.

[Editor’s note: “5 EV Stocks to Sell Before the ‘Great EV Consolidation’” was previously published in September 2022. It has since been updated to include the most relevant information available.] We’ve all heard the saying, “those who don’t know history are destined to repeat it.” But did you know that this saying applies very pertinently
Sometimes, financial traders might choose to cling to an investment when they’ve lost money. It’s not a great idea to try this with Opendoor Technologies (NASDAQ:OPEN) stock, however. Opendoor will have to contend with a weak real estate market. Besides, the company’s financial figures are eye-opening and not in a good way. Opendoor Technologies might
Although commitment through astounding odds stirs the soul, when it comes to stocks that are screaming sells, investors must consider the stone-cold fundamentals. To be clear, this list isn’t about bashing particular securities for the heck of it. Nor do I have anything to gain or lose regarding these companies’ market trajectory. Rather, I’m merely
Falling back to $30s, Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) stock has already started to give back its post-earnings gains from earlier this month. This is not surprising. In my view, this extreme move higher for INTC stock after its latest quarterly earnings report made little sense. With this, it appears the market is starting to take off the
Meta Materials (NASDAQ:MMAT) stock is in a state of transition – or more accurately, the company is in a state of divestiture. Soon, it will spin off an oil and natural gas business that could have been a significant revenue generator for Meta Materials. Besides, the company is having major financial issues. So, investors shouldn’t
While the winter season can sometimes bring out the holiday cheer on Wall Street, certain retail stocks to sell may court trouble. Certainly, it’s not everyone’s favorite topic. However, it’s also unavoidable. With a rough start in 2022, the year just kept worsening via geopolitical flashpoints, skyrocketing inflation and global supply chain disruptions, to name
Stocks across the board have plunged in 2022. Even the seemingly invincible tech giants, such as Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX), have witnessed year-to-date (YTD) declines of over 50%. The crypto market has fallen too, as investors realize that a bet on crypto is essentially a bet on a high-risk asset. The insolvency of FTX drove the price
As we near the end of a horrendous year for the stock market, many investors may want to reassess their portfolios. Accordingly, for many investors, shifting the focus away from the buy list to stocks to sell may be the way forward. Whether you’re a long-term investor or a short-term trader, it’s important to know
There may be support for GameStop (NYSE:GME) among the meme-stock crowd, but not everyone’s on the long side of the trade. In fact, a report from Bloomberg indicates that activist investor Carl Icahn has taken a short position against GME stock. Furthermore, due to GameStop’s connections to the rough-and-tumble worlds of cryptocurrency and non-fungible tokens
Investing in SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) stock has been akin to riding a rollercoaster. Time and time again, SOFI stock has surged on increased hopes, only to sink on yet another round of disappointment. That’s what has played out this month, with this fintech stock reversing course in a big way, after briefly jumping back above
2022 was a disaster. Over these last 11 months, inflation hit a 40-year high. There were fears of recession. Nearly 63% of U.S. consumers were living paycheck to paycheck. Markets were crushed. Home sales began to fall at the fastest rate in decades. Consumer spending fell. Russia invaded Ukraine. China saw rare unrest over COVID
Many sectors have been damaged in the train wreck of this year’s stock market. But few have been as hard hit as the stocks of financial technology (fintech) companies. These are companies using new technologies to compete with traditional banks and other financial institutions. Think payment apps, online lenders and digital exchanges. Most fintech companies
