Stocks to sell

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has garnered incredible attention this year and successfully captured the imaginations of a swath of audiences. This has subsequently led to the rise of AI stocks with market-crushing returns.  Now investors need to seriously contemplate what could be next in the AI revolution. Searching for exposure to this hot sector, investors have

As we delve into July, it’s time to take a hard look at some oil stocks to sell. The crude oil market has hit a rough patch over the past several months, with West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil prices hovering slightly above the $70 per barrel mark. The specter of dampened demand, a potential

U.S. equities markets are delivering outstanding returns for investors this year. While the first quarter of 2023 was characterized by macroeconomic volatility, the second quarter ended in more resilient markets. The S&P 500 is nearly up 16% year-to-date, while the Nasdaq Composite has roared back from 2022 lows, largely due to the AI craze, returning investors almost 32%

Invesco QQQ (NASDAQ:QQQ), the Nasdaq-100 ETF heavy with tech stocks, is up 40% year-to-date despite a promise of at least two more rate hikes in 2023. Many investors celebrated the return of the tech bull market. One think tank economist declared, “Ladies and Gentlemen, the recession has been canceled!” on June 29th. Not so fast. 

When you’re looking at which stocks to sell, don’t get too caught up in hope. In the investment game, hope is a currency of optimism. It fuels our choices, effectively stimulating growth while keeping the market’s heart pulsating. Nevertheless, there are plenty of stocks to sell out there, lost in a whirlpool of market unpredictability

Selling certain stocks now is recommended even though conditions are improving for the stock market. For 2023’s first half, the benchmark S&P 500 Index gained 16%. The technology-laden Nasdaq Index increased 33%, its best first half performance since 1983. While tech stocks have led the year-to-date rally, especially artificial intelligence (AI) stocks, the rally is

Over the last decade, numerous electric vehicle (EV) companies have come and not-yet-gone. Some were hyped as Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) killers, while others claimed they’d carve their own niche. Yet many remain highly overvalued and speculative, with too few sales and excessively poor margins to justify their current stock price. The EV stock crash of the

Knowing when to sell a stock can be as important as knowing when to buy it. This can be especially difficult with dividend stocks. Investors are told to hold onto their dividend stocks to allow the benefit of compounding to work its magic. But in any market, there are dividend stocks to avoid. And in

In early April, prominent Wall St analysts predicted that oil prices could go beyond $100 per barrel as OPEC+ cut output while demand was supposed to surge due to China’s reopening. However, this prediction has failed to come to fruition, as oil prices have barely budged beyond $70 a barrel, down from over $80 in April. This was

2023 has been a great year for the Nasdaq, with the tech-heavy index up 30%. With inflation moderating and the Federal Reserve seemingly set to pivot in its interest rate hike campaign, things are looking up. But it’s not all clear skies. In fact, for some high-risk tech stocks, investors should use the recent rally

Defying skeptics, i.e., the bears and the lion’s share of economists, the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite was up a huge 29% so far in 2023 as of the afternoon of June 27. But this is not the second half of 2020. In other words, the vast majority of tech stocks aren’t soaring. Instead, this is a true “stock-picker’s

The party in energy stocks looks to be over. In 2022, oil and natural gas stocks were the only market segment that saw gains, as the price of crude oil surged to $122 per barrel. Now, with oil trading below $70 a barrel, the S&P 500 Energy Index is down 15% since the end of January. The

Without a doubt, life is difficult for EV start-ups. Creating automobiles is a complex and challenging process, even under the most favorable conditions. Indeed, the design, development, manufacturing, and marketing of electric vehicles is a process fraught with potential pitfalls for a given company and its investors. Many EV start-ups face unique challenges due to

Amidst the tumultuous financial markets, one can’t help but cast a wary eye on troubled businesses. These firms are making headlines for all the wrong reasons, keeping investors up at night and questioning their investment decisions. Despite their best attempts at damage control, leaving a lasting impression of unease. This has led to the rise

QuantumScape (NASDAQ:QS) is a battery start-up which has seen extreme volatility in recent years. A play on solid-state battery technology, QuantumScape provides investors with a much more speculative potential earnings curve than its EV peers. In the previous bull market rally, QuantumScape achieved a remarkable $54 billion valuation. This valuation was driven by its solid-state

Companies within the tech sector have been a real draw for investors for a long time. Stocks like Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META), Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), and Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), which are all in the tech sector, are some of the most popular companies trading in the U.S. The upside for the tech sector keeps improving with the application of generative AI.

With oil prices hovering around $70 and some analysts believing they could go as high as $100. Therefore, it may seem like a waste of time to think about high-risk oil stocks. However, there will come a day – perhaps later than 2050 – when the only place you’ll find an internal combustion engine vehicle is

June has witnessed its fair share of analyst stock downgrades, leading investors to approach the market cautiously. Investor sentiment can be as unpredictable as the wind, especially in the fast-paced world of Wall Street. Making investment decisions under such circumstances can feel overwhelming.

Although a topic that arouses myriad emotions, targeting overvalued stocks to sell represents an important component of investing strategy. Since we’re in the middle of baseball season, you can’t always let sentimental favorites dictate your lineup. At some point, age, injuries and other factors catch up with players. That’s life. Secondly, getting rid of stocks
