Stocks to sell

There’s been one relatively consistent rule in the market over the past few years. Winning stocks generally have stayed stocks to buy, while losing stocks have stayed stocks to sell. That trend is part of a “growth versus value” split in which high-growth, high-priced stocks have significantly outperformed the rest of the market. There have

Hertz (NYSE:HTZ) stock represents ownership in a company that investors should be very wary of. Market speculation regarding HTZ shares is high in this volatile market.

However, Hertz has attempted to stick it to

Here at InvestorPlace, we tend to write about subjects and companies that our readers have expressed interest in. That’s why I’m writing about Chesapeake Energy (OTCMKTS:CHKAQ) today. I’m the fifth InvestorPlace contributor to write about Chesapeake Energy stock in the past two weeks alone. Source: Casimiro PT / Shutterstock.com I don’t think there’s any question

With the S&P 500 yielding just 1.85% and the ICE U.S. Treasury 20+ Year Bond Index hardly worth the trouble at 1.75%, monthly dividend stocks may be even more attractive to income investors in 2020 than in years past. Investors may also perceive monthly dividend stocks as more attractive today because of the spate of

With shares falling far below recent highs, is it time to buy the dip in Nikola (NASDAQ:NKLA)? Not so fast! Sure, it’s future potential, not current valuation, driving names like Nikola stock. If the company can pull off bringing a hydrogen electric vehicle to market, it could give EV powerhouse Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) a run for

It has been a forgettable year for most businesses. Industrial giant General Electric (NYSE:GE) is one of the hardest-hit companies due to the novel coronavirus, as GE stock shed more than 40% of its value since the beginning of the year.

There is no shortage of opinions from InvestorPlace writers telling you the same thing. Chesapeake Energy (OTCMKTS:CHKAQ) is bankrupt. And if you still own Chesapeake stock, your shares will likely be deemed worthless by the court. Source: Casimiro PT / Shutterstock.com I also argued against buying into the bankruptcy trade in June. It seems investors

Genius Brands (NASDAQ:GNUS) and GNUS stock are intriguing and have a great deal of potential.

Genius Brands’ app, The Kartoon Channel, received primarily

Many stocks hammered by the novel coronavirus have bounced back, but not names like Carnival Cruise Lines (NYSE:CCL). Investors may be willing to take a gamble with airlines, but CCL stock just makes people nervous. Source: Ruth Peterkin / Shutterstock.com No surprises here. While airlines are slowly climbing back from their lows, cruise ships remain

Activision Blizzard (NASDAQ:ATVI) delivered very strong second-quarter results, and there’s a great deal to like about the company, including its extremely popular games and its loyal and rapidly growing user base. Activision Blizzard stock is another question altogether, though. Source: Piotr Swat / Shutterstock.com The company’s third-quarter guidance was uninspiring, and as I predicted previously,

From the performance of its shares, Plug Power (NASDAQ:PLUG) has come a long way. It spent much of the last five years trading at around $2.00. Conversely, July 2020 is its breakout month after PLUG stock climbed to a high of $10.00 before selling-off by 20%. Today, it’s trading at more than $11. Source: Shutterstock

Over the years, I have consistently pounded the table on groundbreaking technology firms. Collectively, we’re entering a period where multiple innovations are converging at once, sparking what I term the “Roaring 2020s.” Certainly, electric vehicles represent a vital cog in this gear. However, this does not include bizarre gimmicks like Electrameccanica Vehicles (NASDAQ:SOLO). Thus, I

On Aug. 5, cruise stocks wavered on news that they would again extend their no-sail date through October. This hit shares of Carnival (NYSE:CCL), Royal Caribbean (NYSE:RCL) and Norwegian Cruise Line (NYSE:NCLH). Fortunately for investors, Carnival stock managed to stabilize for the rest of the week.  The problem is, obviously, that without cruises there isn’t

When I look at AYRO (NASDAQ:AYRO), it feels a bit like déjà vu from when I was recently asked to give an opinion on ElectraMeccanica Vehicles (NASDAQ:SOLO).  I felt the basic problem for ElectraMeccanica was that it didn’t have a good answer to why this time is different. In other words, it might be the

If you’ve ever glanced at Luckin Coffee (OTCMKTS:LKNCY) and thought about buying some Luckin stock, hear me say this: don’t do it. Even though company shares are down 95% from their peak, Luckin’s $2.50 stock price still reflects a buoyant alternate universe.

I can’t remember the last time I wrote about an insurance company. So, the fact that Lemonade (NYSE:LMND) is the subject matter of today’s article has me very excited about discussing the recent dip in Lemonade stock.

There’s something about space and the great unknown that has always intrigued us. Movies and novels have tried to quench our thirst, but our quest for the stars does not end there.

Covid-19 vaccine stocks have been on fire over the past few months, as news flow on the coronavirus vaccine front has been overwhelmingly positive and hopes for a workable vaccine being widely administered by early 2021 have gained significant credibility. In this rising tide, small-cap biopharmaceutical company iBio (NYSEMKT:IBIO) — who is working on creating a

Since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, investors have nervously searched for quality “stay-at-home” stocks to protect their portfolio. Streaming stocks, in particular, have been a relatively bright spot in an otherwise down economy, with Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), Spotify (NYSE:SPOT), and Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) up between 50%-80% this year. So why is Roku (NASDAQ:ROKU), a video-on-demand (VOD) platform

In 2020, the public focus on health has brought many small biotechnology companies and penny stocks, such as Ocugen (NASDAQ:OCGN), into the limelight. On June 1, OCGN stock was 17 cents.
