Stocks to sell

One of the dramatic shifts in our “new normal” is that several mundane businesses have suddenly exploded in demand. Among the biggest beneficiaries of this surge in interest is industrial giant 3M (NYSE:MMM). Previously an increasingly irrelevant organization, 3M’s N95 facemask division became a matter of national security. But without adequate production, smaller companies like

In the first quarter of 2020, Virgin Galactic (NYSE:SPCE) defied gravity. The stock peaked at an incredible $42.89 by late February. The impossible valuations came to a quick end when market selling accelerated. The nearly full shutdown across the United States and in Europe put an end to reckless stock buying. SPCE stock fell below

It’s no surprise that airline stocks have been among the hardest hit names as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. It’s hard for them to make money when no one is flying. American Airlines’ (NASDAQ:AAL) stock has shed over 60% since mid-February. Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK.A,BRK.B) has been hammered by its exposure to airline

By now, most publicly traded companies have suffered at least sizable losses due to the novel coronavirus pandemic. However, few companies have been devastated like Alcoa (NYSE:AA). An aluminum and industrial metals specialist, the company gleamed during past economic paradigms. But as societies shifted their priorities toward digital innovations, Alcoa stock lost its luster.

As the number of coronavirus cases continues to rise globally, the airlines industry is among the worst-hit sectors. From its  52-week highs, United Airlines Holdings (NASDAQ:UAL) stock plunged by nearly 70%.

Even prior to the unprecedented environment that we’re in, Under Armour (NYSE:UA, NYSE:UAA) represented a tough case against industry leaders Nike (NYSE:NKE) and Adidas (OTCMKTS:ADDYY). However, the combination of Under Armour’s baggage, along with the sharply deflated consumer market makes for an almost untenable argument for UA stock.

As the coronavirus remains unsolved, each passing week seems to bring a new contender to the vaccine crown, including Moderna (NASDAQ:MRNA). This is reflected in MRNA stock, which jumped almost 12% on Thursday, April 2 and is now higher by about 76% year-to-date. The impetus behind the rally in MRNA stock on April 2 is

So, 2020’s first quarter was one for the history books — and not in a good way. Among the records set was the fact that the first quarter marked the worst quarter ever for oil. Naturally, this had a negative impact on Exxon Mobil (NYSE:XOM), as Exxon Mobil stock is often strongly correlated with the price

Towards the end of January 2020, Muddy Waters Research posted a tweet regarding an unattributed 89-page report on Luckin Coffee (NASDAQ:LK). At the time, LK stock was trading at $32.49.

Nio (NYSE:NIO) should be avoided.  It’s heading to $0 this year. The last time I weighed in on NIO stock, it traded at $4.03 on March 4, and the company is still struggling to keep its head above water.

Before you think I know more about stocks than you do, consider this. Source: Shutterstock I’m the guy who recommended you buy Bed, Bath and Beyond (NYSE:BBBY) in January. Not only that, I’m the idiot who took his own advice and did it, after giving you four days to digest my stupidity. I just checked.

Personally, I view Blue Apron (NYSE:APRN) as an example of getting the logic right and the results wrong. In August of 2019, I worried that a recession might hurt shares of the meal-delivery service. I came to that conclusion because at the time, the U.S.-China trade war suggested a slowdown for both economies. Further, the

Donald Trump tweeted on April 2 that Saudi Arabia and Russia were looking to cut daily oil production by 10 million barrels. He later suggested the cut could be as high as 15 million barrels. If this turns out to be accurate, the price of oil will climb dramatically, providing Chesapeake Energy (NYSE:CHK) with a

Perhaps with the exception of some gaming equities, Carnival (NYSE:CCL) and other cruise line operators are among the epicenters of coronavirus market capitalization destruction with CCL stock proving as much with a first-quarter loss of 74.19%.

The novel coronavirus is already proving to be the biggest economic shock to the world economy since the Great Financial Crisis of 2008. Perhaps it will be even worse than that by the time all is said and done, with a number of stocks to sell out there. In any case, the S&P 500 fell

There are a number of ways to invest during the crisis brought on by the novel coronavirus. Most traders focus on the typical coronavirus stocks, which tend to represent companies working on vaccines and treatments. Co-Diagnostics (NASDAQ:CODX) stock, on the other hand, is a different type of coronavirus stock. As the company’s name implies, this

3M (NYSE:MMM) is an industrial manufacturing conglomerate that generates relatively little revenue from products that will be used in the battle against the novel coronavirus. Meanwhile, demand for most of its other products is likely to drop meaningfully during the current crisis, and the valuation of MMM stock is not especially attractive at this point.

Investors in the young ride-hailing company Lyft (NASDAQ:LYFT) have had a quarter to forget. So far in 2020 Lyft stock is down about 41%.

The hits keep coming for Ford (NYSE:F) stock. Source: Shutterstock The company’s cautious approach on electric vehicles put it far behind its competitors. Its CEO since 2017, former University of Michigan athletic director Jim Hackett, has since seen the share price fall to $5. Now with shares at a 10-year low, Hackett shuffled some chairs

In the middle of the turmoil brought on by the coronavirus, it’s hard to think positively. Yet at some point, we will get through this, remembering this moment years from now as one of the darkest chapters in American history. Nevertheless, we shouldn’t be naïve. As I’ve mentioned in prior articles, the novel coronavirus has
