Car stocks, especially shares of electric vehicles (EVs), have turbocharged portfolios in the past year. Meanwhile, the auto industry — which increasingly relies on semiconductors — has been in the limelight. However, due to the current chip shortage, many car makers have announced they would be temporarily halting production. As a result, car stocks have
Stocks to sell
ChargePoint Holdings (NYSE:CHPT), an EV charging company that has come to market via the Switchback Energy Acquisition Corp. (NYSE:SBE) SPAC, has been a volatile. Indeed, CHPT stock has fallen approximately 40% from its 52-week high late last year. Source: Michael Vi / Shutterstock.com There are a couple of factors driving shares lower. Among these are the rise
Organigram Holdings (NASDAQ:OGI) is just another one of the many Canadian cannabis companies struggling to get profitable. As a result, OGI stock is down 26% from its high of $6 on Feb. 10. Good luck with this company getting profitable enough to justify that price again. Source: Shutterstock In fact, in the past year OGI
iBio (NYSEAMERICAN:IBIO) stock is up 12% in the past year and up 74% in the year-to-date period. However, since I last wrote about IBIO stock on Nov. 20, the stock is mostly flat, including two big drops,lending credence to my concerns.

Perhaps one of my most glaring criticisms from an editing standpoint is that I write long introductory paragraphs. So, for those who have suffered from my loquaciousness, here’s perhaps my shortest lede ever. It may be time to rethink Nio (NYSE:NIO), and therefore to sell NIO stock. Before I get into it, let’s discuss some
In hindsight, CRISPR Therapeutics (NASDAQ:CRSP) represented a once-in-a-blue-moon opportunity during the March doldrums of last year. For a brief moment, CRSP stock slipped below $40 as the world turned its eyes on the rapidly escalating novel coronavirus pandemic. However, shares didn’t stay deflated for long as they continued to march steadily higher despite the surrounding
Without semiconductor and chip companies, we would not have the technology that we have today. That seemingly makes Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) a rather valuable entity, and in many observations, it is. But that does not make INTC stock a buy. Source: JHVEPhoto / Shutterstock.com Intel helps power many of the computers and devices we use today.
ViacomCBS (NASDAQ:VIAC) stock has a problem summed up in the new name of its streaming service, Paramount. Source: Jer123 / Shutterstock.com As happened after the movie company lost its antitrust case in 1948, Paramount has lost its distribution channels. Broadcast TV is dead. Cable is dying. Movie theaters are still mostly empty. The only way
Sundial Growers (NASDAQ:SNDL) stock is another of the equities that got caught up in the Reddit wars. Source: Shutterstock Fundamentally it shows some real weakness, and I’ve yet to see any really well-thought out arguments that would convince me to consider buying it. Yet, the hype that surrounds it does represent a real opportunity for
Technically, undergarment maker Naked Brand Group (NASDAQ:NAKD) is one of the best performers of the year so far. Since January’s opening session, NAKD stock has delivered both longtime shareholders and recent speculators nearly 300%.

The jig is up on Churchill Capital IV (NYSE:CCIV). CCIV Stock is less than half of where it was a mere three months ago. What happened? Source: ggTravelDiary / Shutterstock.com They call it “special purpose acquisition (SPAC) investing.” It’s nothing of the sort. It’s Texas Hold ‘Em, and only the dealer has the aces. CCIV
Speculators are slowly losing interest in Inovio Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:INO). Excluding the spike to over $30.00 last June 2020 on strong volume, INO stock headed mostly lower. It spent most of the last year trading at around $10.00.

In theory, I understand the allure of investing in a downtrodden company such as United Airlines (NASDAQ:UAL) stock. But in this case, I just don’t agree with it.

By all accounts, airline stocks had a pretty bad 2020. The novel coronavirus pandemic hit every sector hard. But the airline industry suffered the most at the hands of the virus. There were already several companies with debt-laden balance sheets. And then demand started plummeting. It was a perfect storm that no one saw coming.
Dear SOS Ltd (NYSE:SOS), let’s not mince words. It’s over between us. Last Friday, short-sellers Hindenburg and Culper Research told me that you might be a total fraud. But I gave SOS stock the benefit of the doubt. After all, their kind is wrong as often as they’re right. Source: Bplanet / Shutterstock.com However, now
Hawaiian Electric Industries (NYSE:HE) is unique in the market. As its name suggests, the holding company is primarily focused on power generation through subsidiary Hawaiian Electric. In fact, HEI provides electricity to roughly 95% of the population of the state of Hawaii. However, HEI also owns a banking subsidiary, American Savings Bank. Those two businesses
The GameStop (NYSE:GME) short squeeze fiasco is perhaps one of the biggest stock market stories so far this year. And while it appears wild price swings are fading, Reddit traders are making a run at other shorted stocks. That means we haven’t seen the last of such events. For those who don’t know, short selling
Back on Feb. 23, Workhorse (NASDAQ:WKHS) lost the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) contract to its competitor, Oshkosh (NYSE:OSK). So, now what? That’s the question investors have been trying to answer these past few weeks with WKHS stock. Surprisingly, though, this electric vehicle (EV) maker’s shares haven’t cratered as dramatically as you might think. Source: Photo
The long bull market run on Wall Street shows no signs of slowing down. Even the novel coronavirus pandemic could not stop the markets from registering record gains. However, amidst all this, there are several stocks to avoid that are overpriced. It may seem surprising, considering the positive momentum we see nowadays. Several stocks have
A friend recently asked me the dumbest stock I’ve written about in the past 12-24 months. I answered that I’d have to think about it. However, if we’re talking about recent months, Naked Brand Group (NASDAQ:NAKD) and NAKD stock would be at the top of the list. Source: Shutterstock In November, I wondered why it
